There was one review on this router that mentioned that the radio was not

Well I keep my 1900 in the basement and two floors above (in a 40 year
old townhouse) I have no problem with 2.4 and 5ghz connections to the
devices I have around.
It's better than the radio in any previous router I have had.
So not sure what some people consider good or bad radio. The cpu and
radio are both marvell. Maybe some people prefer atheros/qualcomm or
broadcom or intel (not sure they do anything on the AP side).
The trouble is that the "radio" is really just about signal strength,
quality of modulation and sensitivity, demodulation.
Received signal strength is about the radio power and the antenna
design/placement and stuff between and around the transmitter and receiver.
The only way to tell the true quality of the "radio" would be to get
some high quality RF test equipment.
So a subjective "the radio is not very good" is kind of meaningless in
and of itself.
