Cons and watch-outs
What to verify.
Trade-offs and buying checks, not claims that a product is defective.
Premium price.
NETGEAR Armor and advanced controls add subscriptions.
Fewer wired ports than some competing mesh nodes.
Before buying, confirm exact ISP login, VLAN, BYO support and home-phone requirements. Wi-Fi coverage is never guaranteed from a floor-area claim alone.
