don't cheap out. I was waiting for the apple airport extreme 7th generation and felt dumb buying such a old router for $200. Could have gotten a refurbished airport extreme 6th gen for $110 on best buy. Ending up buying a $100 Linksys AC.

Total garbage . It was for my parents house so didn't think they needed anything too special. They have 1 iPad, iMac, Samsung smart tv for netflix when my nieces come over and 2 iPhones. . They thought they had a virus as when I upgraded their old Airport extreme 5th gen ( my router from 4-5 years ago) to the linksys their comcast internet went from 30 MBS to ***** 1 !! or under 1 mbs.
The range on the thing is awful. I was able to fix it a little bit by moving the router to a better location but still no where near the 5th gen Airport extreme. I ended going to best buy 1.5 months later and complaining to the manager. They finally agreed to let me return it and got them a 6th gen refurbished Airport extreme. My brother has the Nighthawk but is way more techy them I am. The apple products are just so easy to use. Tho skip the express I found that to be borderline garbage as well unless you are trying to connect your stereo to your home network.
