Type
Router

Type

The devices we encounter are standalone routers, routers with built-in modems, and mobile routers.

A router requires a separate modem and distributes the connection to multiple devices via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, but cannot connect directly to the internet. A modem/router combines a modem and router in one device, connects directly to the internet provider, and distributes the connection to the local network. A mobile router, on the other hand, uses a SIM card and mobile data to create a portable Wi-Fi hotspot, ideal for use outside the home or in areas without a fixed connection.

Router

Plain router (without modem). The router is a device to which other devices (e.g. computer, mobile, TV) connect either wirelessly or with a cable, and it shares internet access with them. It receives internet access through a separate device called a modem.
Maximum Wireless Speed
6000 Mbps

Maximum Wireless Speed

Theoretical maximum speed with a wirelessly connected device primarily used for marketing purposes. The speed of each connected device depends on factors such as distance, obstacles, the number of other devices connected, the number of other networks in the same area, etc.
Maximum LAN Speed
1000 Mbps

Maximum LAN Speed

The maximum speed that the modem/router can offer to devices connected to it via ethernet cable.

1000
The 1000Mbps are mainly important in professional environments where the transfer of large files (e.g. high-definition videos) is a frequent occurrence. Note that all involved devices must support this speed, otherwise data transmission will be limited to the speed of the slowest device.

The device supports various networking standards that affect the maximum Wi-Fi speed, distance, sensitivity to obstacles, etc. This information is also reflected in the more user-friendly Wi-Fi generation. It is recommended to choose a Wi-Fi 5 (IEEE 802.11ac) or Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) device.

IEEE 802.11 b/g/n

The older Wi-Fi standard, known as Wi-Fi 4, is significantly slower than Wi-Fi 5 (IEEE 802.11ac) and Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax).

It is recommended for use with few devices and for applications that do not require high speeds. For most users, it would be preferable to choose a Wi-Fi 5 or 6 device according to their needs. Each newer generation is compatible with devices that support a previous one.

IEEE 802.11ac
The most common Wi-Fi standard, known as Wi-Fi 5, is significantly faster than Wi-Fi 4 (IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n).

Wi-Fi 5 can currently meet the needs of most users, but there is now the next generation Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) which offers the ability to connect many more devices to serve the increasingly smart devices in a home.

Each newer generation is compatible with devices that support some previous one.
IEEE 802.11ax
The most modern Wi-Fi standard, also known as Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax), offers speeds up to 40% faster than Wi-Fi 5, coordinates communication with connected devices to consume less battery, and performs better in environments with multiple Wi-Fi devices.

The device has a SIM card slot for internet connection through a mobile network. The SIM card should have an active data plan.

Security

Encryption Protocols
WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, WPA3-Personal

Encryption Protocols

The security protocols supported by the device for encrypting data transmitted wirelessly and protecting against third-party connections to your network.

The first protocol was WEP, which was replaced by WPA, which in turn evolves into generations with each generation having a corporate and home version. Anything older than WPA2 is not considered secure.

It is recommended that the device support at least WPA2-Personal (PSK) for home use.

WPA-Personal
The WPA protocol was a temporary significant improvement over WEP but still vulnerable and outdated. It has now been replaced by WPA 2. WPA-Personal is intended for home use sacrificing security, compared to WPA-Enterprise, for easier installation, using the PSK certification process (pre-shared keys).
WPA2-Personal
Replace WPA in 2004 with AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) technology, which is approved by the US government for confidential documents. It is considered safe for home use. 2. WPA2-Personal is intended for home use, sacrificing security compared to WPA2-Enterprise for easier installation, using the PSK (pre-shared keys) certification process.
WPA3-Personal
WPA3 is the latest generation of WPA that will replace WPA2 and offers even greater password protection, even when they are simple. Additionally, it makes device connection even easier and more secure than previous generations. 2. WPA3-Personal is intended for home use using less powerful encryption, compared to WPA3-Enterprise which is aimed at corporate applications. It uses the SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals) authentication process instead of the PSK of previous generations, significantly increasing security.
MAC Address Filtering
No

MAC Address Filtering

MAC (media access control) address filtering is the ability of a device to allow specific devices to connect based on their unique MAC address, while excluding any device with a MAC address that has not been defined as acceptable.

Extras

Virtual Private Network (VPN)
Yes

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

The device has the ability to set up a VPN (Virtual Private Network) so that traffic from all devices on our network passes through it. 2. The VPN acts as an intermediary between us and the rest of the internet. This way, we can give the impression that we are geographically located in another country and the pages we visit see the VPN address as the visitor's address, not ours. 3. This provides us with anonymity and access to content with geographic restrictions (e.g. some YouTube videos are only available in certain countries, the Netflix catalog is different depending on the country, etc.). 4. VPN services are usually paid for by subscription.

    This review is about the network version: v1

    The best in terms of money. Stable speed and as much as the provider's in dynamic IP configuration. In PPoE, the speed is halved. The v2 has the VPN client installed, which is worth every penny and very easy, but its speed is slightly reduced. Bonus: it has 8 ports, so you can wire the whole house (duplex) and fill the spaces with the deco units, and you're good to go everywhere!

    This review is about the network version: v1

    Exactly on the money for such a machine. Fast and doesn't understand anything with permanently connected: bulbs, televisions, TV boxes, radios, laptops, tablets, mobiles, printer, and Cosmote decoder with replay. The basic installation was very easy as it took PPPoE codes and address and gave 94mbps out of 98 attainable on the modem. It gave me two problems though. One had to do with ipv6 that didn't want to cooperate, I would press connect and it couldn't hold a stable IP and would disconnect every 5 minutes only to reconnect with a different address. I fixed the problem by changing from auto to dhcpv6 and after a restart, it holds the IP. The other problem is bigger as I haven't been able to solve it and it has to do with the 5Ghz WiFi. When I choose a DFS channel, the band doesn't transmit at all and I have to switch to non-DFS for it to work. It is stable with non-DFS but the advantage of these less "densely populated" channels is automatically lost. Nevertheless, the wireless speed remains stable even with a weak signal, although you probably won't often see a weak signal as the coverage is very good with beamforming and its 8 antennas. SMB server works flawlessly and quickly with a 1TB Toshiba HDD. QoS is very simplistic with profiles for a few default types of tasks, although it still does the job even at this basic level. It's nice that OpenVPN is available, which is relatively easy to set up and also works flawlessly. Parental Controls, a useful feature in a household with children, as well as antivirus with quarantine for infected devices for dad who visits these football websites and fills the tablets with viruses. Integration with Amazon Alexa for automated control as well as many other options (nat/port forwarding, virtual servers) that are now available in many models of the company. In general, if you have the money and want a router that will withstand time and that you will plug into the socket and forget it exists, this one is a very powerful choice for large homes with families.

The basic installation was very easy as it took PPPoE codes and address and gave 94mbps out of 98 attainable on the modem. It gave me two problems though. One had to do with ipv6 that didn't want to cooperate, I would press connect and it couldn't hold a stable IP and would disconnect every 5 minutes only to reconnect with a different address. I fixed the problem by changing from auto to dhcpv6 and after a restart, it holds the IP. The other problem is bigger as I haven't been able to solve it and it has to do with the 5Ghz WiFi. When I choose a DFS channel, the band doesn't transmit at all and I have to switch to non-DFS for it to work. It is stable with non-DFS but the advantage of these less "densely populated" channels is automatically lost. Nevertheless, the wireless speed remains stable even with a weak signal, although you probably won't often see a weak signal as the coverage is very good with beamforming and its 8 antennas. SMB server works flawlessly and quickly with a 1TB Toshiba HDD. QoS is very simplistic with profiles for a few default types of tasks, although it still does the job even at this basic level. It's nice that OpenVPN is available, which is relatively easy to set up and also works flawlessly. Parental Controls, a useful feature in a household with children, as well as antivirus with quarantine for infected devices for dad who visits these football websites and fills the tablets with viruses. Integration with Amazon Alexa for automated control as well as many other options (nat/port forwarding, virtual servers) that are now available in many models of the company. In general, if you have the money and want a router that will withstand time and that you will plug into the socket and forget it exists, this one is a very powerful choice for large homes with families.
