Do not recommend.
convenient web interface.
After the firmware update, it doesn't work. Rolling back to the old firmware is not possible. It's discontinued, the software is unfinished and remains at the same level. In general, you can search in Google and find detailed information about it.

It doesn't do anything extraordinary, but it doesn't disappoint either. The original firmware lacks DualAccess mode, so I had to install an experimental one using a link from http://donnet.ru/manuals/diseltv/iptv-routers. Other than that, I've been using it for about 3 years and I'm satisfied.
Very easy to set up. With a relatively low price for home use, it's just right.
Did not notice any particular drawbacks.
