Reyee WiFi 6 Gaming Router AX6000

Not disclosed anywhere in this product listing is the fact that Reyee is Chinese company. While many do not care, if you value your data and privacy, any such product is not for you. By law, the Chinese government has access to any data collected by a Chinese company. While Reyee offers cloud account and cloud-based features for management, and it is not seemingly active by default, there is so little in the way of configuration control in this router that you have no idea what is being sent to whom. If you use the app, you have to register for the cloud service. Use the browser instead. While they do advertise that there is no bundled security software, there are some other major items missing that are included with every router I have ever owned. You can “bind” or lock a device to a certain IP address, but you cannot name that device. Most devices do not register with a name but only a * symbol. Those that do register with a name are limited to full-blown OS installs and even then, the name will disappear given time. Even active devices connected by a switch may or may not show up but will drop off the list in a short time. Setting up a guest network is done by two different sections of the router for some reason and regular users will probably find it frustrating to find. The documentation is non-existent. Running the router thought several tests for leakage revealed none, but again, with such limited controls, you have no idea what is being sent where. The router defaults to using your ISP DNS and, again buried in the settings, you can configure another DNS, but there is no grantee that is what is being used. As a test, OpenDNS does see the local DNS set to them as being used when configured to use it. The main page will still state that your ISP DNS is in use. The signal strength is as advertised and covered all my in-house devices with no problem at all. Given the privacy concerns, the lack of configuration capabilities and basic missing features for management not to mention connected device management, it is worth it to pay $100 more or even double for a router with simple more features and established, reliable privacy policies.
