The case bezel is highly flush along the seams and there does not appear to be any easily accessible screws to take it apart, they are likely hidden underneath the rubber feet, with the seam separating the top like a lid. On the underside there are mounting holes for vertical mounting and naturally the antennas can be manipulated in all directions. The sticker on the underside does not contain the wireless password, which for security purposes this is a good thing – it prevents anyone otherwise resetting a router and gaining access to your network wirelessly. The router has some nice aesthetic curves and a big wide open grille on the top, bottom and bottom leading edges. The four antennas are all connected and folded in the box, included is the power supply, a sexy and flat Ethernet cable (which typically cost more), a quick start card containing the unique Wi-Fi passwords, quick installation guide and the Google Assistant setup guide.

This router arrived with that fresh product smell, nice heavy rich ink on a well presented box with detailed information on the back. This is why the specs state that it supports multiple 4K streaming, because at 1500Mbps capable of being sent to four devices at once, it really does support it, based on the standard.

The OFDMA and MU-MIMO are components of the 802.11ax standard which basically mean that the router will be capable of dynamically optimising advanced signalling (avoiding your annoying neighbours’ Wi-Fi signals) and is able to send and receive multiple ‘streams’ of signal to multiple devices on your network at once. Referring to the Wikipedia article for 802.11ax, the table refers to some of the advanced features in further detail and in comparison to the previous 802.11ac standard – which in its own right is also a fast and less common than the older 802.11n standard. This is further aided by some smart use in the division of the bandwidth signalling within the signal spectrum, or simply again, the standard can ignore unwanted signals, send more data at an improved rate/timings and this means that more data can be sent in each transmission with less errors, avoiding wasteful re-sending. It is able to do this by utilising both the 2.4Ghz frequency band and the 5Ghz frequency band simultaneously as a single combined transmission. In the most simplest of terms, the 802.11ax standard is able to operate at 1500Mbps (Megabits per second), total transfer between the access point and the client. Wireless 802.11ax also called Wi-Fi 6 is the technology standard in question and it really does have a complex and advanced level of ‘goings on’ under the hood.

The good news is that if you have a new Galaxy S10, iPhone 11 Pro and a few other select phones then you are all set. This router introduces some newer wireless technology that many will not be familiar with, and even further will not likely have any client wireless devices that will be compatible with –for now. This app also provides step by step setup and configuration instructions to assist in first time installation.
