Let me start by saying this beast solved my dead zone nightmares! My 3,000 sq ft home with its awkward garage placement finally has full coverage. Even my security cameras through a microwave-obstructed path stay connected - something my old WiFi 5 repeaters couldn't handle.

The speed? Blazing fast. We're talking consistent 1.2Gbps on my Oculus Quest 2 VR setup (down from 25-40ms latency to 15-25ms). Though fair warning - you'll need proper power. I learned the hard way when amber LED warnings revealed my fancy PoE injectors were throttling performance.

Setup was surprisingly simple for an enterprise-grade device. I just plugged it into my existing router, cloned settings, and disabled the router's radio. The Insight app makes remote management a breeze, though some business features like VLANs feel overkill for home use.

Now the not-so-great: The network cable port is annoyingly tight - only flat cables fit. And while mine's been rock-solid for months, some IT pros report reliability issues. Also, this isn't a standalone router - you'll need existing network infrastructure.

For power users with large spaces or demanding devices (VR gamers, I'm looking at you), this AP delivers where consumer mesh systems struggle. Just mind the power requirements and know your networking basics.
