Good signal strength for a small and inexpensive router
This unit has a small footprint but has better signal strength than my previous ac linksys router.

Stronger signal but still not good enough for my needs.
PROS
* easy to setup
* stronger signal
CONS
* ugly and big with such long antennas
* hard to get antennas to stay upright all the time
* had wireless security issue once with mobile phones
The unit did have a stronger signal than my previous router but it wasn't enough for the range that I needed. I did have an issue once where phones would no longer connect to it because of authentication issues - I changed the wireless security setting to auto and no longer had issues.
