Customer Ratings & Reviews

My 2014 R7000 Netgear Nighthawk was starting to fail (intermittently would lose connection with WiFi and Lan, at random for about 3 months), so it was time to replace it. I was originally looking at another Nighthawk, but then my friend started suggesting a mesh network for superior coverage. However a big caveat to those in both the Orbi, Ubiquity, etc is the lack of multiple Lan ports on the back of the moderately priced systems. Additionally, I was not having issues with coverage with my existing setup. So I decided to go with the Asus based off a recommendation from one of the Erie Store Supervisors/Managers. After about a week of owning it the RT-AX58U, I have no complaints. The range is superior to the Nighthawk (in both 5ghz and 2.4ghz) (2,000sq ft+) and unlike the Nighthawk, it is silent in it's operation. (There are numerous complaints about a high pitched noise coming from the Nighthawks when there is network traffic). The Setup on the Asus was straight forward and I was back up and running in under 15 min. The admin tool includes many extra features that the nighthawk did not have either, so there's a huge plus for those that like additional security features. Additionally this router is WiFi 6 (AX) but also has the ability to be disabled until your devices support it). I was always a Netgear supporter but it's nice to see strong offerings from other brands. Additionally for all the features you get in this router you would normally be paying double (close to $250-300+). I highly recommend this router as a mid-high range option for enthusiasts and those that just want peace of mind with reliability. Overall all excellent router. - Long Range (Both 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz) - WiFi 6 (Future Proof) - Compact size (compared to the enormous Nighthawk) - Silent operation - Easy to setup - Expansive Admin Tool. - Android App is dated looking, but simple and provides all the same options as the desktop web app. - Reasonably priced, even not on sale.

I bought this router back mid-December and it's now late February, and I've got to say, I LOVE this router. Wireless AX is a new technology that utilizes OFDMA (orthogonal frequency division) rather than TDMA (time division) so, for devices that have AX compatible adapters, every device can talk at the same time, rather than waiting on every other device to talk. This allows for a much faster connection to the router. Keeping in mind that your broadband connection is most likely still TDMA, though. I upgraded all of the computers in my house to wireless AX adapters, and both mine and my wifes phones both have wireless AX adapters. (galaxy s10 and s10e phones) You can buy a laptop wireless AX200 adapter on amazon for $20, and $30-$40 for a desktop PCI version. The router has an app on your phone that you can use, too, that I find VERY useful. It also allows you to set up DDNS through the router so that you can remotely access your router from anywhere. You can monitor real-time traffic, set Quality of Service policies, and even group devices so that you can schedule internet access and at any time block internet access. It has a LOT of advanced features, as I've already mentioned, including built in QoS, Security, Device Grouping, DDNS, USB modes, and more, which makes it kind of a techie dream router... Advanced features without having to configure a command line interface. But it can also be set up relatively simply, so I'm sure someone with little experience could also set it up. I couldn't in good faith recommend this router to someone who knows nothing about technology, though. It does take a basic understanding to set this up and use it properly and securely. That being said, if you know what you're doing around a computer, you should be fine. And the more you know, the better this router is.

The Asus Wireless AX3000 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router is an outstanding addition to my home network! The device was easy to set up, with a clean and navigable interface. Physical size was no issue, and the router fit cleanly in the space occupied by its predecessor. Performance was immediately recognized, expanding the the available Wi-Fi range within my home. A television approximately 80 feet from the source now streams as though it is in the same room as the router. Couple dual banding, 4 Lan ports, and forward seeking Wi-Fi 6, and this Asus router is a terrific value!

Excellent!!! My biggest concern was signal strength over a larger area, about 3,000 sq. ft. It works Great!! No lag or loss of signal while being used by multiple devices. You don’t have to be a technical engineer to set up the system. I had an issue, called the “help” number & they helped me resolve the issue. It works great!!!

I am very satisfied with the Asus router. It is very user friendly and has some great capabilities of protection and information of your WiFi. Performs flawless.

Great router I have 7 devices hooked up via wifi with no problem. Two of the devices are on the second floor. Have no lagging problem or connection problems! Oh, and I have a hard core gamer at home, with all the gaming gadgets and computers. So you already now that a great router is needed!! Very happy and satisfied with this ASUS router!

I have had it the router for less than a week. So far no drops in service. Why did I buy a new router and choose this one? I had just upgraded our internet speed to 500 mbps. With the Asus Rt- AX3000 I get very fast wifi speeds with wifi-6. The setup was pretty easy. Now I get speeds at about 450mbs all over the house. Slightly slower at the farthest point, 430 mbs in the farthest room away. One of the reasons I purchased this router I wanted a router that would be ready for wifi 6.

So pleased this was the router I chose for my home office and for the needs of my entire family. I have several devices connected to this router and so far no issues. I have been a Cisco Linksys fan all this whole but now sold out on ASUS

I've been using the Netgear R7300 router for a few years, but with the addition of smart TV's, Roku's, iPad, Android tablets, iPhones and so on, I've noticed some latency issues especially with streaming 4K content. Even with the included DST range extender I wasn't feeling good about the unit's performance. After checking various review sites and other due diligence, I opted for the ASUS RT-AX58U router. Even though I currently have no devices that support the new WiFi6 standard, I thought I'd give this unit a try. So far, it's been a great choice. Setup using the web interface was straight-forward and allows access to all of the advanced features. The ASUS app is just meh; OK for checking status but I certainly wouldn't want to rely on the app for a comprehensive setup. I left most of the router settings at default, but did opt in for the router's dual-band Smart Connect feature. This allows the use of a single SSID and the router automatically chooses 2.4 / 5G when the device connects. It works flawlessly for my mix of ancient to fairly new hardware. Streaming performance is top-notch, and I get better coverage now than with my old Netgear/DST setup. My house is relatively small with 1300 sq ft with two levels. The router is in my home office on the lower floor yet coverage is excellent throughout and even out to the back yard. Other than checking for a firmware update on first boot, changing the default admin password and configuring WiFi pass phrases, it's been a "set it and forget it" proposition. I've had the router for over a month and haven't had to finesse any of my original settings. And the WiFi6 functionality seems to work well; my son and daughter happened to upgrade their phones to Samsung S20 and S20 Ultra, and the ASUS connected via WiFi6 with no issue. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to run any serious speed tests on the WF6 band; but the devices did connect. Overall I'm extremely pleased and hopefully I'll be able to take advantage of WF6 operation as my hardware is slowly upgraded. Recommended!

Works great with Spectrum. MY old router was not going over 200 mbp. It was old and had other issues. So I decided to give this one a try. It was not easy to set up. Not sure If i did something wrong I had to call the customer service # to get it. Had to change things in the router settings. Not sure if the average person would know this or not. However tech support for them was good. But now my speeds are pulling around 430 more then double what I was getting before.

Welcome to the future. The Asus ax82u is deffenitly a big bang for the buck. Stylish sleek and innovative are a few chararistics about it. User friendly setup. Awesome app. Running 1gb net and this router delivers all of it. What are you waiting for buy it already. You won't be disappointed.

Night and day difference from my factory spectrum router. I play a lot of destiny and the server would drop literally every 5-10 minutes. I’ve had zero drops since using this router. I’m also paired with 500mb internet. Set up was a little confusing but had it up and running within the hour.

Love this router! My internet provider upgraded their equipment and when I tell you their router SUCKED….. It hand no range and could not even give me the mbps that I was paying for! With this router I was getting more than what I was paying for! The app is also so easy to use and looks clean. Very impressed.

This router is awesome! The GUI interface is intuitive, loaded with useful information, and how-to’s for every single setting that make setting up your own advanced home net work a breeze. One click set up is also an option for those who want fast and secure wifi thats plug-n-play. WiFi-6 gives this router longevity and blazing fast speed. There are so features in this thing that would turn this review into a dissertation just trying to mention them all—but all of them make this router so customizable that its a great option for just one person, the whole family, and everything else in-between. Honestly I haven’t found anything that would make me think “the [. ] could be better” or “would be nice if it had this....” This router has everything and it’s all packed into compact device thats easy keep out of sight regardless of where it needs to be placed to give whole home coverage.

Best thing i have bought have never had a problem and easy installation with app and boost internet by 20 to 50 mbs

Excellent Router - stable and consistent speeds on wifi and wired connections. Very easy to set up, minimal footprint and broadcast range is very good throughout the house.

This router has made my internet speed a lot faster. I switched from a spectrum provided router and seen a difference immediately, this router also reaches all areas of my 1200 sq ft home.

Set this up as our att broadband wifi was spotty. Upgraded from an older asus router that did the job but didnt spit out our current bandwith. Whole house coverage and no drops so far. Worth the money.

My experience with this router has changed the way I run my home network. Dual-band connectivity is fast and reliable, especially with WiFi 6. Great upload and download speed. It was easy to set up. This is the perfect balance between speed, security and user-friendliness, making it the best choice for a reliable and future-ready networking solution. I don't use cables anymore for playing.

So far, works great! Easy setup with the app, I get a nice strong signal all over the house. The app is really helpful to monitor how it's working also.
