## Verdict

An older Wi-Fi 5 model whose firmware support lags and whose performance drops within a year or two, so it should be avoided for anyone needing lasting reliability.

## For

- Excellent performance
- User-friendly setup
- High speeds
- Reliable firmware updates
- Robust speed and coverage

## Against

- Older Wi-Fi 5 technology
- Firmware update stalls after a few years
- Performance degrades after 12-18 months
- Higher cost (≈30 %) for only marginal throughput improvement
- Higher price than some rivals

## Flagged as one to avoid

This product entered 2 of 6 runs as one buyers cross-shop but should not buy, rather than as a pick. It is published here rather than dropped.

## What this tier means

- B: Good. A solid choice with real caveats worth knowing.

## How to read this

- Each category is researched in four independent runs, one per lens (expert consensus, value, reliability, community pulse). Every run ranks a board of candidates that deliberately includes products buyers cross-shop but should avoid. Placements score on a ranked ladder (LP), and tiers are derived from LP, so no tier is ever assigned by hand.
- LP is this product's points on its own category ladder. It is comparable within a category and not across categories.
- Link status reports what our pre-publication link check found when it fetched the cited URL. It says nothing about the quality of the review.
- A citation with no usable link is listed rather than dropped, and is excluded from the counted total above.
