On paper, that should be more than enough. In practice, it&rsquo;s been quietly frustrating me for months.</p> <p>The coverage is inconsistent: spotty upstairs, unreliable in the garage, and barely reaching outside where I need it for the doorbell and the grill area. WireGuard VPN isn&rsquo;t supported at all, which rules out a proper remote access setup. And the moment you want to do anything beyond basic home networking (VLANs, custom DNS, traffic monitoring, segmented IoT devices) you hit a wall. The interface is designed for people who don&rsquo;t want to think about networking. I&rsquo;ve reached the point where I want to think about networking.</p>
