Highlights
Quality
This product works so good it should be framed as a work of art.
I am so happy with the output and device reliability.
So hardware good, firmware bad, tech-support not very supportive.
After weeks of crappy signal with the linksys i bought this and now.

Competitiveness
4 and 5ghz frequencies, i thoroughly recommend it for good wifi and internet signals.
