Cons and watch-outs
What to verify.
Trade-offs and buying checks, not claims that a product is defective.
Requires an existing router.
6 GHz range depends on placement and building materials.
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.
