When selecting computer routers, consider wireless capabilities, aggregate throughput, wired ports, and security/management. Here is how this product performs:
1.
Wireless Capabilities (WiFi 6; dual-band; MU-MIMO) : Matches typical mid-range wireless capabilities: Wi‑Fi 6 dual‑band and OFDMA/MU‑MIMO are expected at this price band. This is in line with what many mid-range routers offer and does not push into premium tri‑band or 6GHz territory.
2.
Max Aggregate Throughput (1800 Mbps) : Aggregate throughput sits toward the lower end of mid-range expectations and aligns with AX1800/AX1500-class devices. It is typical for entry-to-mid Wi‑Fi 6 units and sufficient for modest multi-device home use but below AX3000 mid-range nominals.
3.
Wired Connectivity (1 WAN; 4 Gigabit LAN) : Typical wired layout for budget to mid-range routers. The absence of multi‑gig (2.5Gb/5Gb) ports means this is not aimed at heavy wired backhaul or high-speed NAS use, which is normal for this price level.
4.
Security & Management (AiProtection Classic; subscription-free; parental controls) : Security and management features are at or slightly above typical mid-range expectations because AiProtection and subscription-free threat protection add usable value. For some buyers, this helps justify paying a modest premium for brand and integrated security.
Deal price at $61.99: sits near the lower end of the mid-range band for home routers. It is priced below its recent 30-day average of about $65.41, which modestly improves the value picture for a well-known brand.
This Good Deal suits households wanting a straightforward Wi‑Fi 6 upgrade, dependable wired connectivity, and built‑in security. Buyers who need multi‑gig ports, tri‑band capacity, or top-tier throughput should compare higher-tier models; otherwise this model and price are reasonable. Confirm warranty and return terms if you care about extended support.
