Solid tank of a wifi router. Works like a champ, only selling because swapping to new docsis 3.1 modem from docsis 3.0 , which happens to be a combo wifi router
This is confirmed to work with Optimum/Suddenlink (This is a Router, which attaches to the Modem- it works with every provider. The Modem is where things get tricky)
No issues, LCD display is super cool and I wish more routers had it
