First, let me tell you why I chose this unit. I had an Arris SB6141 and it was the only device on my network that never gave me any issues... ever. I trust Arris. They are one of the original Cable Modem manufacturers, they simply know what they are doing.
I had an Apple AirPort Extreme and an Apple AirPort Express for my second floor. I was very dissatisfied with my connection rates. I would begin a download and everything would slide down the pipeline, as it's suppose to do, and then stop, hang... wait a bit... 10 seconds... 2 minutes... 30 minutes... and so on. The AirPort Express was in Bridge mode and out of nowhere it would just lose the signal to the Extreme. Even if I logged into it... just wasn't there. Unplug, reset and wait... Meanwhile I use PlayStation Vue, so I can not even watch TV while I wait. Ridiculous.
Did I mention this was my second set of Apple routers? I sold the originals when I purchased the NETGEAR R7000-100NAS (Nighthawk). That unit was brilliant and fast... until it died 3 months later. So I went back to Apple, because at least they last longer.
Now, I wanted a simple and clean... an all-in-one solution. No finger pointing by large corporate support centers. I also want fast Wi-Fi and most importantly... my neighborhood is a cluster... you know what... with Wi-Fi signals, so I need something that will modulate itself and shape signals around the noise.
I got it! This unit rocks. I recently purchase the next model down, what's one model lower... big deal, IT IS A BIG DEAL... trust me! The SBG6900-AC is an absolute nightmare. Read the review. As for the SBG7580-AC DO NOT HESITATE - Get It!
Outstanding signal strength in every room on every floor... even on my deck. 4 Apple TVs streaming Sony PlayStation Vue and still able to surf the internet without hesitation. Get It!
