Okay, so I grabbed this 4-door access controller thinking it'd be a smooth upgrade for my office security. Spoiler: it’s... complicated.

The Good: This thing is BUILT. Industrial-grade components? Check. The screw terminals feel like they could survive a tornado, and the TCP/IP connection is legit fast—no lag when testing card swipes. It handled our WG26 readers without fuss, and the 100m range is no joke (tested it down a long hallway like a weirdo).

The Bad: The software? DISASTER. Windows 10 users BEWARE—I got hit with the ‘upgrade driver’ brick wall too. Had to dig through sketchy forums to find a fix (hint: run as admin + compatibility mode). Why isn’t this in the manual?!

Final Verdict: Hardware = rockstar, software = needs a babysitter. If you’re tech-savvy (or stubborn), it’s worth it. Otherwise… maybe wait for a firmware update.
