Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers consider the R6700 a solid mid‑range AC router with strong near‑field speeds, a powerful 1 GHz CPU and useful QoS features, but they criticize its weak long‑range 5 GHz performance and note that its scores for throughput and range are modest, making it less appealing against newer Wi‑Fi 6 options.
What Users Say
Everyday users generally praise the router’s reliable coverage for up to 25 devices, smooth 4K streaming, and convenient USB‑3.0 sharing, while recurring complaints focus on long‑distance signal loss, occasional firmware issues, and reduced speeds when many devices are connected.
Common Complaints
Weak long‑range 5 GHz signal, occasional firmware glitches, modest overall throughput and range scores, and lack of Wi‑Fi 6 and Energy Star certification.
