AZORES WiFi 6 Whole Home Mesh WiFi System Wireless Router AX1500-2 Pack, 4 Gigabit LAN Ports, Dual Band AX Router, Beamforming, OFDMA, MU-MIMO, Parental Controls

I got this to replace two hardwired routers on either end of the house. Setup was a little tricky, but some of that was my fault. Initially tried to set up the slave AP as the Master because I thought they were interchangeable. Just keep in mind that the Master will have a QR code on it.Also was unable to reach the web interface for setup from a PC. Ended up installing the app on my phone and getting it set up that way.After setting up the network I figured out that for some reason the AP will refuse to display the config page unless you put the http:// in front of 192.168.0.1. I have never seen this before, but it is fine and the interface works well if a bit clunky. There are a lot of settings which are unavailable in the app so getting to this page is kind of important.Was worried after reading some reviews that you only need the wifi password to make changes to the network. This ended up not being an issue for me. The parental controls and most other major settings are only accessible in the web interface and you can set another password for that. Only thing that may be a problem on that front is you can change the wifi SSID and Passwords from the app. other than that it is just the LED settings and Band steering. The App is mostly informational.The Slave AP setup was much easier. All I had to do was plug it in to power and ethernet on the other end of the house and it automatically saw the master and mirrored the networks I has set up there.Speeds are amazing all over the house. I have not tried it with the wireless backhaul, but with ethernet connecting the 2 pods, the 5Ghz network is as fast as ethernet in every part of my house and well into the front and back yard.

El producto no es fácil de configurar, el primer día que lo conecté funcionó bien... después dejó de funcionar.Llamé al proveedor de cable, cambiaron el router , intentamos sin éxito la configuración como router , como bridge ..... etc, restauramos el Azores a configuración de fábrica , etc.Finalmente el técnico del proveedor de internet dejó el router configurado como router.aburrido dejé el aparato desconectado, tiempo después (horas ) , lo conecté , le hice el reset a configuración de fábrica y mágicamente funcionó.No me atrevo a configurarlo ( cambiarle la clave o el nombre de la red) etc.Hasta ahora el funcionamiento ha sido estable, y en general tiene buena señal.

I have a master and two slave AP's. I have one Gig from Charter and on Fiber. From the Master AP, I have gotten speeds somewhat similar to a Charter owned single router. The great thing about the mesh topology is the two slave AP's that I've placed in dead zones. From just the master AP in the dead zone, from a device like a Firestick, I would get roughly 50-60 Megs on the 2.4 GHz band. With a slave in the dead zone, the Firestick is now getting a little more than double at about 130-140 Meg's on the now 5 GHz band. The mesh AP's do a really good job at switching not just between AP's when needed moving around the house, but also the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. There's only two devices in my house that support WiFi 6, and I have not seen much if any that big of a difference between 5GHz and WiFi 6 in terms of raw speed. Having 3 Ethernet ports available on the Master is really nice, since one port has to be used for WAN for the Modem. But since I have the Slave AP's wireless, I have 4 open ports on each of those.The "RSSI", which stands for Received Signal Strength Indicator is consistently anywhere from -55 to -63. If you're not familiar with this, this is basically the strength of communication between the Slave AP and Master, the lower number, the better. It usually jumps to -63 when all doors are closed. The Link Rate of the slave AP's are consistently at 650-750 Mbps.All in all, these devices are pretty good, not the greatest, but gets the job I need done. Any more questions or details, please ask. Did not want to make it too detailed.Ugrading the review to 5 stars since it is a great bang for the buck.

The sync between master and slave for all settings has to be done over wireless backhaul meaning the units need to be close enough for wireless communication. Wired connection is only for internet speed, not for sync between units. This took me some time to figure out as I started wired with the slave in my garage where the base unit can't reach (the whole reason I need a mesh system and have a hardwire between buildings) Their setup instructions didn't say anything about this. Also, if you configure your master unit for your wifi SSID and password (first thing it does when you log in over 192.168.0.1) before hooking up the slave, the factory sync will not work and you'll have to hit the WPS button on the back of each unit to pair them again.The smart connect system to switch between 5g and 2.4g connection for devices forced into 2.4g once the device was 5 feet away from the router. For the slave I never got 5g even with my phone placed on top of the unit.The online tech support chat on the manufacturer's website never connected to anyone nor did they get back to me over text or email, only the automated messages. The tech support email got back to me in a reasonable time but didn't offer any viable solutions. They suggested turning off the smart connect and having 2 SSIDs one for 2.4g and one for 5g and only connecting to the network I wanted per device. Which is basically saying their software just doesn't work. But either way since my slave was out of reach of the master unit once I made the change to test it my whole network was broken.I am returning this and I don't suggest anyone else buy it.
