Picked up an ARRIS SURFboard mAX™ Plus Mesh AX Wi-Fi 6 Router System (W130) that had a yellow tag listed $429, reg 599, not sure why, I scanned it with my Walmart app and it showed $124. I went and got the gal to open it to have her scan ot with her TC70, sure enough came up 124. I thought hmmmm.
Fast forward, about 30 minute's later I ended up getting very dizzy, to the point I had to sit on a cooler ledge and asked a near by person to page my wife on the walki takie over. She showed up and while a co manager was there helping to hold me up, someone got a power chair to get me to the front and the wife clocked out to take me home.
So that evening before the wife got off work she called me and asked what I still had left on the shopping list . I told her, and then was like "BTW" lol so she went back and sure enough it was still there and she "may" have felt sorry for me and showed up home with the Arris
.
I had tried with Two other router's I've had sitting around to extend my wi fi range since 1. The Motorola/Arris NVG510 is an ATT locked down crapper, 2. if I was EVER to shut down the "PC" apon restarting, it would Not have any internet connection. <ip conflict>
To say that the Arris Mesh is kinda a lil pita to actually install, since you have to use your PHONE to do it
But all said and done it worked and now have excellent coverage
Even just using the "wireless" back to the base it's 78 ft away and thru 4 wall's and one with metal and the 65" Tv in the way. Still has 1+Gb connection, wired it can do 7Gb back haul.
The test to the base was about 100 ft outside.
Since I only have a 6mb/768kb ISP it's nice to be able to at least watch stream's or movie's with out having to find a "sweet spot"
