I used to be a network power user, but as I got older, I just want things to work. I've tried several times and setups before biting the bullet for this one. 2 combo modem/routers from my cable provider (first mistake), a Tp-Link combo of my own (didn't seem to be stable for my cable internet service), adding range extenders (I didn't like how I had to keep switching SSIDs from my main to my extended network). Things were just getting way too complicated, my iot devices kept cutting out and staying disconnected, and the fastest I could ever get was when I was wired into my laptop, then the speeds dropped off on wifi. Fast forward to this OnHub. I did my research and I've read that the Asus had better antennas for larger homes, although there were less of them. I went for quality, not quantity. I also got this one price matched, as I found a better price elsewhere, so I called and customer service was friendly and helpful and got the better price. Setup was a breeze! You do need an iOS or Android phone to set things up with their app, which I didn't mind (some people who previously reviewed minded). It made things clear and easy to do. I was up and running in mere minutes! Keep in mind though, that you still need a modem - coax from the wall to the modem is your internet, then the ethernet cable from the modem to the onhub connects your wifi. The app itself managing your network is simple and clear. There's a dashboard to show your health of the network, you can see your devices connected and the data it's downloading and uploading. There's a parental control feature that lets you pause Internet to any device you want. There's also a device priority feature which prioritizes your data. So simple, I LOVE IT! This is how all network routers should behave - all automatic and smart. For the cons, I'd say it is lacking for the power user. There's no way to set up static IP (I don't really need that feature), there's no feature to add an external USB drive to it for a network drive, there's no WPS feature (not that I know of), and there's only one extra ethernet port to get wired in (you'll need a switch if want to connect more to it)
