My nighthawk bit the dust after 5 months in my house. We had a smart home with over 80 WiFi devices. Developed a problem where everytime the power flickered it would issue duplicate IP addresses to devices. I had to go to the breaker box and turn zones of the house on one-by-one to keep it from getting overwhelmed.

I know that’s a lot of devices, but this was a pro-sumer level router and wasn’t cheap. I could have got an entry level Cisco or Ubiquity for the same price. (I didn’t know about Ubiquity at the time)

It finally fried itself and in desperation I bought a Google Nest WiFi Pro 6e set of 2. Flawless for a year. I don’t like the limitations of the Google gear though, which is why we’re transitioning.

At this point, I pretty much recommend Ubi or eBay Cisco stuff to my family or friends, unless they have truly low usage.

For sure have seen duplicate ips as well. Seems like they still don't test firmwares before pushing 😂
