Nice router. Good wireless range and coverage. A bit much in cost for users who don't have wireless AD devices or 10Gb connections which still hasn't really hit the consumer market. There a 10Gb connection on the back which I believe is NAS related. QoS configuration UI did not come in FW. NG is working on adding this feature in on last report. Has many features and works as a repeater and wireless bridge as well. UI is nice and fairly easy to configure once you know where everything is at. Top LEDs on case have ON and Off function. I wish NG had better separated the LED from each other and the light bleeds into other LEDs that are not active or ON. Fun blue LED in each antennae and doesn't have any function other that to show that the wireless0router is on and working.

Internal fan built in for heat dissipation when needed. Router seems to get warmer when Plex server is used. Router run normally warm when no used.

Over all a nice router however there are other Mfr routers that can do the same thing for a bit less. This is a router for the user who wants the latest and has the money to throw at it. Wireless AD maybe on the horizon however I haven't seem much if any AD in client side HW yet. I presume in the near future maybe hitting once and if the AD cert has been approved.
