Expert Opinion
Professional coverage is limited but generally positive, emphasizing the AmberPRO’s fully fledged AC2600 router capabilities, all‑in‑one simplicity and the CES Innovation Award. Critics point out the lack of Wi‑Fi 6 and question whether the AC2600 performance matches higher‑end routers.
What Users Say
Everyday users highlight the convenience of a single device that handles storage, networking and media streaming, especially the automatic photo backup and Docker‑based apps. The most common complaints revolve around occasional app restarts, the absence of Wi‑Fi 6 and modest streaming bandwidth limits.
Common Complaints
App interface requiring restarts, lack of Wi‑Fi 6, limited streaming bitrate on 5 GHz Wi‑Fi, modest 2 GB RAM restricting heavy Docker usage, and limited third‑party editorial validation.
How It Compares

vs. WD My Cloud EX2 Ultra
Advantages
Disadvantages
WD My Cloud EX2 Ultra is suited for users who prefer a traditional NAS with flexible networking choices, while AmberPRO is better for those wanting a single device that handles storage, routing and media.
