I’m kind of disappointed at the moment because I thought this came with AFC out the gate, but it did not have to wait for the update which who knows when that is honestly also, I have the previous flagship router, the rapture 98 pro and I feel like that one has a strong stronger signal, but whenever this firmware updates and enable the AFC (automatic frequency control) it should be a better signal it reaches my PC on a 6 GHz band all the way across my house, but the new one does not but currently it is a weaker 6 GHz signal range compared to the previous model. I would wait until that particular update comes out. I bought it too early because I’m stupid. And I thought it had AFC on it day one That is the only reason that I give it four stars and the price is also outrageous.

The experience with this flagship router wasn't ideal. The GT-BE19000AI now supports AFC and works very well; the 6GHz band is extremely fast and reaches almost as far as the 5GHz band. However, there are two unresolved troublesome issues with this router: 1. it constantly gets stuck at a blank page after login. ASUS has yet to identify the cause of this bug. 2. if you enable Adaptive QoE or malicious site blocking / tracker blocking, etc., some devices' 6GHz speed drops from close to 2000Mbps to just 400Mbps. ASUS has identified this issue but doesn't have an ETA for the fix. Overall, I don't think the extra features from this router is worth it over the previous flagship GT-BE98 Pro. Other than AFC and a 4GB RAM, the GT-BE98 Pro offers a far more stable and pleasant experience. Plus, it's 33% cheaper.

Excellent router but vastly overpriced. Noticing a bit faster 6GHZ wireless speeds compared to my previous 98 Pro router. Like the first review, I wish it had AFC out of the box but hopefully it won’t take too long to be enabled via a firmware update. The ai features are really neat and not too complicated to set up. Asus has an online tutorial to set everything up. Love the white look and the new white gui. Once the firmware matures, this thing will be a BEAST!
