- A: AnswerYes, by following the directions in the box and with downloading and using the ASUS app, it's simple and easy to do. I recently bought this router to combine and AI-Mesh together with my ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 Pro that I purchased a while back. It's prefered to connect the to router together via an ethernet cord, but you can do it wirelessly, too, which is what I did and still am doing. For me, the two routers work together seamlessly and I have been able to extend and boost the wifj in my house!

Very fast download speeds. Very happy
Now getting 640 mbps download speed over WiFi on 5ghz leg. Getting 900 on desktop (only have 800 service from Comcast) super happy with this router, head and shoulders above my previous one. Paired it with arris surboard SB8200 modem. Tip for setup, use all the same WiFi names and passwords and your devices automatically work.

Worth the Purchase
This is my second time buying an ASUS router. My first one is still up and running and I've had it for about 9 years. Of course it's a different model. After reading up on this model I decided to buy it of course through Best buy, as I live in California and I needed to purchase this for my daughter in Texas. It was very easy to purchase this through my BestBuy app and have my daughter pick it up at a Best buy near her. Asus is very easy to set up with thier software and easy to access the software for their routers. As she set it up I was on the phone with her in case she had questions as I have been teaching her tech for many years. It was very easy for her to set up and adjust everything she needed. The range on the router is very good all throughout her house. Definitely a big thanks to Best buy for the ability to make this happen.

Asus is just AMAZING,..!
I have always chosen the other brand which shall not be named, but after encountering 3 failures in the past 2 years, I've decided to give ASUS a try. This has been one of the easiest router I've set up, with the Asus App everything is just seamless. I've had this model for over a year or so now, and it still funsctions really well. I am really impressed. I also decided to get the Asus RT-AX82U and set up a MESH in my house. Setup was really easy, everything went thru the app. I thought I'd run into some problems like conflicts or whatever. But the app made everything seamless,..! I am officially an ASUS fan,..! Highly recommended,...
