Worst Router So Far
tclgottlc Posted
Weak signal, confusing setup, and technical hassles that plagued connection for days despite restarts. Switching back to old unifi router resolved all issues.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from ASUS Answers

Dear Tclgottlc,
Thank you for your comment.
We do understand your disappointment with the router and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are experiencing weak wireless signal. To resolve the weak signal, place the router in the center of the area you want to cover, avoid placing the router near metal objects, electronic devices or direct sunlight, position the router on a flat, hard surface and halfway between the floor and ceiling. Additionally, dense building materials, such as gypsum, concrete walls and planks can affect Wi-Fi signal penetration. Also, we recommend updating the Mesh router firmware if it is running with an older version. Firmware is available for download at: https://www.asus.com/us/networking-iot-servers/whole-home-mesh-systems/asus-zenwifi/asus-zenwifi-bd5/helpdesk_bios?model2Name=ASUS-ZenWiFi-BD5. Also, verify if the PC or device connecting to the router is working properly and within range to the router, the router is within 30 feet to the ISP's modem, if not wired with a network cable, and ISP's internet service or connection is working properly or stable. Legacy devices may not work properly with WIFI-7, please check updates for these devices. Also, try to disable "Smart Connect" and try connecting this manually to either 2.4GHz or 5GHz. Furthermore, try resetting the routers and reconfigure or set up the devices. For helpful tips on how to setup the router smoothly, visit or Porduct Support page: https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1045754/ .
