Installed eero mesh wifi. It's pretty good but I still have trouble with my LG smart TV connecting at 5 si I can stream. Eero customer service is great. Walked me through set up which was easy and answered all my questions. I originally used google mesh wifi but I believe eero is better

Great item to identify the mass of cables behind my TV and A/V receiver. Helps when I want to unplug items when I leave my home for an extended period of time and am concerned about power surges ever with a surge protector.

Purchased this product for my wife. She walks with her IPhone listening to podcasts and songs. This product fits her needs very well and she uses it everyday. I my only complete is that even with the extra battery she needs a battery with a longer life because I seem to charging it every other day.

I have an old laptop (5yrs +) and my browsing speed was slow at best because of an old network card. To replace the card, if possible, would be expense. This solution for a modest price helped speed up by email connection and browsing. It may have extended the life of my lap top. I might not buy a new one for another year

I purchased this cable router with telephone VOIP connections to eliminate Comcast's monthly rental charge and update my router. My expectations were met. My cable bill decreased and my Wi-Fi strength improved. Expensive but will pay off over the long run.

Using Alexa is great fun for the entire family, asking questions and getting answers. Unfortunately Alexa's memory has a ways to go. AI is great when Alexa has the answers, she just didn't have a lot of answers

I wife is an avid walker/jogger and goes thru many headphones a year. They fall apart. This is her Christmas present and I hope it lasts as long as the product description says it does.

How to use it with an external router?

I connected this device with a seperate ac router to get better speed.But the connection from the new router gets unstable after every 2/3 days. How can I fix this issue?
Sounds like a bad router. Try doing a "soft-reboot"
