Wi-Fi 6 overhyped. Too many issues with this system. Avoid.
Bought this as I was excited about Wi-Fi 6 with my iPhone 11 Pro. Took really long to set up and just so-so Wi-Fi in the end (30% slower than my earlier mesh system). Chromecasts don't work properly. Photo and audio streaming is bad and cuts out or stops randomly. Also two of my devices won't connect (Google speakers). Looks cheap with the glossy black plastic yet the top venting is clever. Still - wouldn't want these out in the open in my house. Decent set-up instructions in the app but overall it took over 30 minutes to set up. And even after the installation seemed complete, it wasn't clear why the Wi-Fi was way worse than my earlier mesh system until I noticed the orange light on the satellite. Had to unplug that and re plug it and then a few minutes later I had Wi-Fi in my kitchen again. However can't connect reliably to my smart speakers to stream audio, they suddenly drop of the connection even works. Can't connect to Chromecast to share photos (big issue today with a birthday party at home). Wi-Fi speeds are 30% worse than my older system. I suspect this is because I went from a 4x4 mesh to this 2x2 Wi-Fi 6 which promised hyped specs. Oh I also noticed that you only get 90 day free support and warranty. They want you to sign up for $79/year for further support. Contrast this with other top mesh systems that offer a 2 year warranty and unlimited support.
