Here's what you need to know:
Equipment: You must already have a) internet service and b) a cable modem (your own or a rented one from your provider). This is only a wireless router with 1 or 2 (depending on your purchase) signal extenders ('satellites') to improve the coverage.
Setup: It is the same basic process as setting up any wireless router and it is extremely simple with or without the app. Follow the quick start instructions (make sure you reset your cable modem before installing the router - yes it takes a couple extra minutes for everything to start up, but it almost certainly won't work correctly otherwise). I literally plugged in the router... waited 2 minutes for it to connect, positioned and plug it the satellites and waited 2 minutes for them to connect. Using the default network name and password (printed on the device) - I was connect to all three devices in under 10 minutes (without even opening the app).
The App: As I mentioned I initially set my network up without the app, but I subsequently installed it and recommend you use it for a few reasons. 1) if you aren't comfortable setting up wifi it has a wizard that walks you set by step 2) it how you change the network name 3) its the only way to update the firmware (all the devices needed this - it happens automatically and it took 3-4 minutes for each device) 4) it has some handy free tools like speed test. NOTE: All the essentially functions of the app are FREE however there is an upsell if you want parental controls. I used only the free app as I have my own virus and parental control software already.
Coverage: I purchased the system with 2 satellites -- that supposedly covers 9000 square feet. It MIGHT but only in an open field with no obstructions of any kind. More realistically each of these lets you expands to difficult to cover areas in your home -- different floors, areas that might have interference, yes also areas far from the router. We have about 3000 SQ FT - I have the router on the main floor and one sat. on the second floor and one in the basement... its enough but its not overkill by any means. Remember that each sat. must be within good solid range of the router or another connect sat. - if you put them too far apart the signal degrades.
Speed: Killer. I am getting the full advertised bandwidth. Both my signal strength and overall speed improved. I am getting between 400 and 700 mbs depending on the device and how far from any given sat. I am. Note I have a Motorola MB8600 cable modem and 1GB speed coming into the house
Other notes:
- I tried connecting one of the sat. directly to my laptop using a network cable. Surprisingly I found that the LAN / WAN speed was slower than the wifi (for me about 1/2 what I get on wifi).
- The devices do have lights on the front that indicate status with blue, green or amber colors... they can't be turned off unless you power off the device - so if you are sensitive to light you'll want to take that into account when positioning them in bedrooms, etc.
- You will only have a single network to connect to. If you previously had 2g and 5g as sperate bands you could connect to -- that will be gone. This 'meshes' them together and automatically connects you to the strongest signal. I was concerned I would I would have trouble with smart devices that only supported 2.4ghz (printer, wemo plugs, ring, etc.) --- not a single issue. I had to reconnect them to the new network name but they all connected on the first try without a problem.

A few quick tips and you'll love it! It's great for working from home and streaming
Pros:- The performance has been fantastic! I'm getting fast wifi download speeds on my second floor. The speeds are similar to what I would get by directly plugging in to the port (300 Mbps)- The indicator lights are a great feature. I've used other mesh routers in the past and typically the only way you'll know if there's a problem is by checking the app. But these routers are different, I'm able to look across the room and immediately see the status of the mesh router.- The app: Now that I have the mesh routers fully set-up I'm a big fan ... the privacy and convenience features are very well done!Cons:- Yes, they are powerful units but the routers are slightly larger than I would like. I work around it by placing them behind my furniture and they still work like a charm- I wish the labels were placed in a better position, preferably on the bottom of the router. Having a blue or green sticker labelled "router or satellite" takes away from the great design in my opinion.Quick tips:- I pealed off the labels and moved them to the bottom of the unit. Trust me it looks so much better :)- It was easier for me to use the manual connection to set-up the satellites routers instead of the wizard, so I would suggest going that route.Overall considering the reliability, features, and price. I'm super happy with this mesh system!
