Enabling feature may force the packet back to the processor, essentially drop performance back to its real state. Such as detail traffic report, L7 QoS, etc. Will really need to see more deep analysis how Huawei design both the hardware and software.

If you want to set up a file server, do it properly with a samba share on a dedicated system. Otherwise, you're just asking for security issues.

                          "with my existing setup can be attributed the Honor Router 3 simply having more power to throw around, with its 1.2GHz dual-core chipset."

                          Does it have hardware NAT offload ?
                          How long can we expect the firmware support to be around ?
                          The usual 1 to 2 year is laughable if that is the case, as vendors like Ubiquity and Mikrotik will support their devices for 5 years+.
                          Although Mikrotik a great router need some serious work in the WIFI department.

                          With all that said, I would have WiFi 5 any day of the week over WiFi 6 on better supported equipment like Ubiquity Unifi, HP Aruba or Meraki.

                                  Good review and good price £80 here in UK. I do feel like In the past 12 months honor have upped their game and are trying to compete against Huawei. I know honor is a sub brand of Huawei but Honor MagicBook and Huawei matebook are practically the same. The Huawei GT 2 and honor magic watch 2 are the same. Honor Magic buds and Huawei free buds are the same. Apart from the phones it just seems like Huawei you're paying the same money for a more globally known brand

                                    Put a router in every house, made by a company that is financially sponsored by the Chinese government - that would be a great idea.
