This router gets the basics right, but the gaps are significant. Two major T-Mobile breaches: 76 million records in 2021 and 37 million in 2023. If any device on your Wi-Fi gets infected — a kid’s tablet, a smart bulb, a guest’s phone — it can reach your work laptop and banking app on the same flat network.
A C grade is not a sign-off. It means there are real, exploitable issues affecting this network every day.

A small gap that still touches every device on this network
A small gap, not an urgent one — but it still touches everything on this network: your work laptop, your phone, your security cameras, and any guest device that joins the Wi-Fi.
Show technical detail
Limited security configuration: No VLAN, IDS, or advanced firewall options accessible to end users. The gateway provides basic 5G-to-WiFi bridging with minimal user-facing security controls.
