I’m a network technician and I’ve had a few problems needing to constantly tinker with internet routers. Always something that needs changed in order for processes to work correctly. This simple mesh system changed that. 10-15 minutes to setup the 3 pack. Only downside is no usb or support for the usb on the OnHub routers. Google 24/7 support is easy and they work quick to fix any issues for you. You can remotely access your network from your google account on any device. These things are fast and my letency is low in any connection. I love these and think they’re well worth every penny. If OnHub’s ports get activated to use NAS or print server support, I’d say this system would be near flawless. (Definitely for someone who wants things to just work, but not needing to do much advanced routing).
I would recommend this to a friend!

I am looking for a router that works with Verizon FIOS, does this router works so that I don't need to rent the router from Verizon? Only need speed 100/100. Nothing fancy, just internet.

Yes, this router will more than fit your needs (depending on the area needing to have service and any walls in between).

Could this replace an xfinity Cisco DPC3941T with download speed of 15 mbps?

This is only a router as your Cisco unit is a modem. This unit will only wireless spread the connection from your modem.

Can this be set up POE?

These cannot be powered via POE and they do not provide POE either. If you need POE to an IP camera or another device, try using a power injector, if you need routers running on POE you’ll need to find another option.

I have a Apple Airport Extreme. Can i use these for range extenders?

No, these work only as a Mesh system. They won’t operate or have the GUI to select a range extension. They do have a much better signal range than the AirPort Extreme individually however, not to mention if used together as a mesh network)..

Can this handle 1 gigabyte? Comcast upgraded me. Trying to eliminate rental charge. Will this work with a gig and also upgrading modem to a 3.1

Yeah, with an AC connection it can get theoretically up to 1200mbps. I would suspect through WiFi you’ll get around 500-750mbps. And it’s Mesh so it’s seamless if you add extra WAPs.
