Almond 2015 Wireless Router And Smart Home Hub

Excellent router that covers my whole home and all my wireless products.

I've had the Google cubes, Almond extenders and I finally have the perfect fit with the Synology Wireless Tri-Band Mesh Router. The mesh router resolved a lot of reception issues I was facing throughout my home. I was experiencing a lot of buffering and more than once lost the signal that forced me to reboot, either my router or extenders. I love my Synology.

Really reminded me of the Apple cables. It's great for connecting a smart home hub to a switch, and I love that the ends are flexible.

I bought it primarily to use a homekit hub to build out my smart home and allow remote access to my smart home. The Homepod Mini was great at that and immediately integrated into my set up. I was able to share the smart home set up with my wife just as easily. Sound wise, it's much better sounding than I was expecting out of such a small speaker. I will play music on it while working in my home office instead of putting in headphones.

I was having issues with my smart devices and streaming HDTV. My wireless system was only giving me about 100 Mbps even though my cable internet was 800 Mbps. I looked into buying faster internet and discovered if I I wanted the cable company’s top speed of 1.2 Gbps, I needed a new modem. I purchased the latest and greatest cable modem, which was one model newer and capable of 2.5 Gbps. My internet speed didn’t get better. So, I decided to replace my wireless router. I researched the wireless routers available. The three key areas I concentrated on were the WAN connection speed, coverage and wireless specifications included. The ASUS ZenWiFi Pro ET12 was the best in all three categories and the only router I found that had all three top of the line specifications. WAN - 2.5 Gbps Wireless - WiFi 6E Home Coverage - One router and one node replaced one router and five nodes. My coverage is better with less nodes. All my smart devices and my streaming HDTV are working great and I’m getting 950 Mbps internet speed. Smartest upgrade I’ve made.

I just upgraded my home network to this router (ASUS ZenWiFi ET8). My hope is for this to provide a stable platform with enough bandwidth to provide access points for a growing smart home, internet and streaming. So far so good. We are getting Gigabit speeds on the hardwired PC and close to gigabit on our phones. This is an improvement over the previous network mesh router we had, it seemed to be capped around 600MB. This is one of the only routers to support all the latest standards, so hopefully it will be good for a few years at least. Installation was easy as long as you have some basic understanding of networks. We gave the new router the same name and password as the previous one and all the smart home equipment moved to the new router with no problems. Right now, I believe this is the best home router you can buy.

I’ve had the Comcast router for I don’t even know how long. I’m a gamer and I also have a smart home with 10 devices connected in my network at the same time. So far this router has held up very effectively and I am extremely glad I purchased this device and got rid of my rental. It’s a buy for me.

Very happy with this product and used with Netgear router for internet to my home and smart TV. Saving money with this product and my smart tv gets all I need without outside internet renting me their boxes or constantly increasing monthly fees and trying to sell me unneeded packages. Will go for the all in one unit next time when I at some point replace so modem and router all in one piece of equipment with Netgear. Very happy with my purchase and highly recommended.

I wanted to have a keyboard that would connect wireless to my LG Smart TV. AS soon as I got home, placed the small bluetooth receiver into a USB port in my TV and it worked perfectly with Netflix and similar applications. It did what I was looking for. No need for installations and configurations.

I use this product to support a home video security system. I have 5 wireless G videocameras streaming live video from throughout my home. This is a budget setup and this router fit the bill perfectly. The router is constantly running at near wireless capacity as far as throughput. I use it on WPA2 b/g/n without issues. I gave it 5 stars because considering the cost and the benefits, I believe it is 5 stars. If this cost more, it would be 3 stars.
