I personally like the 5G best as the signal covers my house ...
This is going to be more of a technical review.. I'm an IT Director for my company so I deal with this type of equipment all the time. I picked up this device for my house and I was looking for a few features. I wanted Gigabit ports,fast WiFi, and not a massive device. I also didn't want to spend a lot of money. So I landed on this device. I tested the Gigabit ports and 1 port wasn't Gigabit. Port 2 only worked at 100. Ports 1, 3, and 4 are Gigabit ports and had a transfer rate of about 933 MBits/sec (Same as Cisco 3750G switch) Port 2 was doing about 95 MBits/sec I tested the WiFi next. I disabled the 2.5G for a few reason. 1. I don't need it and 2 for Security. I setup the device using WPA2 using the 5G only. I personally like the 5G best as the signal covers my house well and it's the fastest.. The fastest speed I got was 295 MBits/Sec I would normally see about 200-250 MBits/Sec At 50 feet I was seeing about 110 MBits/Sec (Many walls away) I have no had any issues with this device. I stream all my TV services over the internet and this device steams them smoothly. The setup was pretty simple and some of the features are nice. I gave this device 4 stars because one of the parts didn't work at the Gigabit speeds. I'm not sure if this was just an issue on my device or if all devices have this problem. I'm not going to waste my time sending it back for this small issue. I attached a few pictures. Picture 1 is the fastest WiFi I saw on the device Picture 2 is the Gigabit port test
