Not me. I don't go for MIMO and speed. I want reliability and
features.

Some reviews:

Page 2 has some nasty comments about the quality.

VPN only between routers and requiring static IP? Yech.

Hi,
This router seems running OpenWrt which is interesting.

Well, they did give a bit of a clue with the naming - NBG...

Yep:
<https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=151841>

No source code in the "opensource" directory:
<ftp://opensource.zyxel.com/NBG5715/firmware/>

Looks like Zyxel has donated a unit for porting:
<https://dev.openwrt.org/wiki/HardwareDonors>
but the NBG5715 isn't on the OpenWRT supported devices list quite yet.

Hi,
It has Luci and heavily patched OpenWrt for sure when f/w source list
as well as memory dump suggests. Definitely this is a router with the
case of WIP. I ordered one to play with it.
