I've had this same unit for 2 years now. Always worked flawlessly and range is good. Have a large brick house and it reaches all the way to back bedroom and all the way to the end of my driveway. I have a security camera at the end of our driveway that picks up my wifi easily. I'm a gamer and it has great speeds with my 1 gig broadband and the app controls are amazing for setting up guest accounts or limiting internet time for kids.

It's not that small, pic just doesn't give you the depth. Then again it works, so who cares how big it is

Why does it look so small? Wouldn't A larger router be better. Something like this router https://a.co/d/dwDOvFo

Hi! Could you check the power adapter on yours and tell me what input voltage it accepts? Is it only 110 V or does it accept 110-240 V?

I have never swapped my original mediacom modem. Would I just unhook the one I have and plug it right into this?

Did this back in February and picked up this router for $144 at BB. It is a solid router. No regrets.

This is the best router I've had to date. It runs Merlin without issues and the feature set is solid. Very easy to configure too.
