My version 1.0R router hasn't shown signs of a decrease in wifi performance, however, some newer devices don't play well with it and drop their connections. At this point I'm keeping both routers so I have a spare if one goes down as you can clone the MAC address of 1 router to the 2nd router, swap them and keep your public IP address with these when you are a Spectrum customer.
Update 1/25/22: The issue with Version 1.0R (CPU usage spikes and some devices disconnecting) was resolved. Appears to have been the channel that was being used. I switched channels and don't see that issue occurring anymore.
Update 12/11/21: Version 2.0R does really well on firmware version 2.05. I've not had time to try any of the newer firmware versions yet. It's stable and handles heavy network loads really well. For Version 1.0R I've identified what looks like a bug with firmware version 1.06b01 where I've seen CPU usage spike up to the 60% range as well as older WIFI AC devices randomly disconnect and have difficulty reconnecting. Also data usage is artificially high under the Streamboost data usage screen. Rolling back to firmware version 1.05b01 solved the problem and it is now as stable as Version 2.0R that I have. I can't say if the bug is specific to the router that I have but thought I'd mention this for anyone experiencing the same issue.
Update 11/11/21: I like this router so much that I found a version 1.0R model and got that too! No problems to date with this router or the version 1.0R. I don't see any difference in speeds between the 2. The main differences are that version 1.0R has a few more QoS settings, says Streamboost, has an additional USB port along with switches to turn on/off lights and wifi. To me you can't go wrong with either model.
I originally ordered this wifi router thinking I'd get version 1 (the one with the 2 USB ports and Streamboost) and found out I received version 2. With all the reviews stating problems with Version 1, I think getting Version 2 was a blessing. It's been running for the past year without any problems. One feature I think is important is the ability to adjust the Tx power. If you live in a high rise and have many neighbors running wifi networks, then that feature can be important. Also, from a security perspective, the ability to turn down the Tx power becomes important because ideally you won't want too many people outside of your apartment to be able to pick up your wifi signal (and possibly try to hack into your network). If I had to, I'd purchase this wifi router again (with Trendnet's 831DR being a 2nd choice). It's gotten me through working from home, as well as streaming many hours of 720p, 1080p and 4K video content. One thing I've noticed is my work computer that has VPN software on it can experience slowdowns over the VPN connection after about 50-60 days. That device never actually drops its wifi connection though. I reboot this router once a month and problem solved! None of my other devices (phones, tablets and laptops) experience drops in their wifi connections either or slowdowns. I recommend version 2 and have had good experience with Trendnet (having another piece of networking equipment from them which was bought in 2007 and still working). Put this on a UPS so it has a stable power source. Looking forward to what Trendnet releases in the wifi6 and wifi6e arena!
It took me almost 4 hours to get this configured correctly to be used as an access point, partly because the interface is so bad, and partly because the firmware does not expressly support the "access point" mode.
The interface is bad in that you have a "Basic" and an "Advanced" mode, but you really need to use both to get your work done. You can't set your SSIDs or authentication in the Advanced mode (what??). You instead need to configure everything in basic mode, then switch over to advanced mode to change anything else you need.
As for the access point option -- it doesn't exist and isn't really supported. You have two options: router mode and bridge mode. I tested both of these, and they work well enough, but I have a awesome' enterprise hardwired router, so I just needed this product to act as an access point to replace my aging 1700 AC access point (another router by TPLink) and that's where all hell broke loose.
Configuring Access Point mode -- you need to select "router" mode to get the access point option to work.Then you need to go to Advanced settings and disable DHCP server (standard stuff so far). However, since there is no dedicated Access Point mode, the router insists on you configuring WAN settings, which do nothing for you in Access Point mode. Furthermore, you lose a port in this configuration, since you can't use the WAN port in access point mode (this is a feature that's been supported in every router I've owned for the past 5+ years, I feel like this is a regression here), and you need to cable up your router/DHCP server in one of the LAN ports. Every time I log into the router to check configurations, it complains that I have no internet connectivity, and wants me to reconfigure my settings --- even though I'm connected to the internet via the access point as we speak. Some serious firmware/feature issues here.
To be fair, once I got the router set up in access point mode, it ran well enough -- my speeds and range were great, but only about 10% better than with my TPLink AC 1700 router that's 2 years old. I ran this configuration for 48 hours with stress testing (transferred 4TB of data from my NAS to backup over the wireless connection), and it didn't drop my connections. Speeds were solid -- 72MBps, which is about where my NAS drives cap out, so no issues there. 4 stars for stability and speed.
I would not recommend this router if you are wanting a next generation access point with high bandwidth. Maybe a future firmware update will fix this (should be easy enough, since the features have been around for at least a decade), but the router has been out for almost a year, and it's still on its RELEASE DATE FIRMWARE v.1.0. That alone is enough to keep me from buying this router again.
At the end of the day, this router was better than my existing in terms of speed and range, but worse in terms of core features, stability, and usability. Definitely not worth the premium being charged.
3 month update: the wireless connection has been constantly dropping for over a week now. Nothing had changed in my network, but all my wireless devices lose connection about 4 times a day,requiring a power cycle of the router to have them reconnect. This thing is worse than useless. Reducing to one star. I've since replaced it with the TPLink access point that I was using before and have no issues.
Top reviews from other countries
Tengo con el router 3 días y hasta ahora funciona bien pero se nota la falta del procesador Qualcomm. Actualmente tenemos 13 dispositivos en total (2 con ethernet y 11 en Wi-Fi) en una casa de dos pisos con paredes de concreto y el router esta ubicado en una esquina de la misma y la señal llega hasta el punto mas lejano sin problema, pero solo llegan 20mbps de los 125mbps contratados en la banda de 5Ghz. Califico con 2 estrellas debido a la descripción falsa del producto, probablemente lo termine regresando por algo con un procesador más potente.
Actualización:
Terminé regresandolo para comprar el TP-Link AX3000 ya que tiene mayor alcance y tiene un procesador Intel. El AC2600 empezó a tener desconecciones al tercer día, no lo recomiendo.
