High-Speed WiFi 6 & Multi‑Gig Wired Connectivity
The router offers WiFi‑6 with high throughput (on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and provides two 2.5 Gbps ports plus multiple 1 Gbps ports on the LAN/WAN side — ideal for modern high‑speed internet plans, streaming, and low‑latency applications.
VPN & Network Security / Flexibility
With native support for VPN protocols like WireGuard and OpenVPN — and ability to act as a VPN server or client — the router enables encrypted, private browsing without needing a separate VPN app on each device. This is valuable for privacy-conscious users or remote‑work setups.
Scalability & Device‑Heavy Environments
Because of its WiFi 6 and robust hardware, the router is well-suited for homes or offices with multiple devices — smartphones, laptops, smart TVs, IoT devices — providing stable connectivity under heavy load.
Customization & Advanced Network Management
The router runs on firmware based on OpenWrt — giving tech‑savvy users the freedom to install custom packages, set up advanced routing, VPN rules, ad-blocking, parental controls, etc. Useful for users who want fine-grained control over their network.
These factors represent the most critical aspects that will impact your satisfaction with this product.
This is easily the best router I've ever owned, very easy to set up, good coverage, fast and with a huge number of features. I'm running the stock firmware which has an easy to use interface but it can also run newer versions of OpenWRT.
I had a Synology RT6600ax that I bought just under a year ago. I really like that router, but I didn't like the fact it only has one 2.5Gb LAN port and the WAN port is only 1Gb. I upgraded my internet plan to 2.5Gb, so that router would no longer work for me. I could have connected the single LAN port to my 2.5Gb switch, but the internet would be limited to 1Gb. I tried various workarounds, but decided it needed to be replaced.
