Reasonably reliable Speed just below contract nominal Tech support poor

Initial setup was OK. Disappointed with the router, not easy to navigate, and limited options (I'm not a basic user), although access via the app works well. Android reports no Internet on occasion, but I'm unsure if that is actually a local issue.

Speed is consistently marginally below nominal contract. Reliability generally OK. Tech service is poor.
