Above expectations.
Posted .I really wanted a router that I could prioritize devices on from my room, from my phone, so I could stream movies to my chromecast and cut my roommates bandwidth off (he streams shows while he torrents) while I do it. I have a rather large 3 bedroom apartment and above 15 competing wifis, so the signal can get noisey. From my room I was getting 14 mbps on a good day. Now I am getting 80 mbps from my phone. Really did not expect that. All of the tp link reviews complained about poor reception at distances. I figured Asus would do a better job and boy did they.

Finally Happy With My WiFi
||Posted .I used to be a network power user, but as I got older, I just want things to work. I've tried several times and setups before biting the bullet for this one. 2 combo modem/routers from my cable provider (first mistake), a Tp-Link combo of my own (didn't seem to be stable for my cable internet service), adding range extenders (I didn't like how I had to keep switching SSIDs from my main to my extended network). Things were just getting way too complicated, my iot devices kept cutting out and staying disconnected, and the fastest I could ever get was when I was wired into my laptop, then the speeds dropped off on wifi. Fast forward to this OnHub. I did my research and I've read that the Asus had better antennas for larger homes, although there were less of them. I went for quality, not quantity. I also got this one price matched, as I found a better price elsewhere, so I called and customer service was friendly and helpful and got the better price. Setup was a breeze! You do need an iOS or Android phone to set things up with their app, which I didn't mind (some people who previously reviewed minded). It made things clear and easy to do. I was up and running in mere minutes! Keep in mind though, that you still need a modem - coax from the wall to the modem is your internet, then the ethernet cable from the modem to the onhub connects your wifi. The app itself managing your network is simple and clear. There's a dashboard to show your health of the network, you can see your devices connected and the data it's downloading and uploading. There's a parental control feature that lets you pause Internet to any device you want. There's also a device priority feature which prioritizes your data. So simple, I LOVE IT! This is how all network routers should behave - all automatic and smart. For the cons, I'd say it is lacking for the power user. There's no way to set up static IP (I don't really need that feature), there's no feature to add an external USB drive to it for a network drive, there's no WPS feature (not that I know of), and there's only one extra ethernet port to get wired in (you'll need a switch if want to connect more to it)

I am registering JUST to post this...
||Posted .First: I don't typically review things, but this router is the exception to my rule. I had purchased a Netgear "Nighthawk" router (AC1900) a couple of years back when it was "top of the line" and never managed to consistently get the performance out of it that others seem to. I decided to try this Asus OnHub just to rule out my hardware being the issue with my network (I was only getting about 30mbps down on a 300mbps plan). HOLY CRAT the difference the OnHub made... The moment it was setup I ran a speed test at nearly 220mbps, and have been averaging 200-300mbps ever since. I have a 3000sqft two story home, and this thing is fast EVERYWHERE. It was the only change I made to my network, so I am going to give it ALL of the credit. Is it the "fastest" out there? Maybe not, but at this point between the ease of setup (which is easy to the point of being too easy, but whatever, the app is nice for NON-network admin types and even has a decent network mapping feature) and the results (literally 10x the speed I was pulling out of that 2 year old Netgear, which in fairness must have had an issue), this router is a NO BRAINER at the price point. A+++ Asus!

IT JUST WORKS!
||Posted .I think I have owned 25+ routers over the years from just about every manufacturer using just about every configuration possible in all operating system environments. This was purchased with for use in a population dense NYC apartment where myself and my neighbors compete for wireless bandwidth. It was my intention right out of the gate to pair this with a GOOGLE WIFI unit when it became available. All I am going to say is that the device setup and interface are both intuitive and easy to configure and use. Beyond that the unit just works really well. Some might say AS DESCRIBED! It would have been nice to have these devices years ago. Folks this is one of those items that if you pay it forward (a couple of more dollars for the setup) you will not be disappointed. There is a very good reason why these units are hard to find. Think of it this way...do you know anyone that has a legitimate complaint about the way their SONOS products work? Probably not! These GOOGLE based WiFi Routers use the same "mesh" network strategy. Very effective!

Good router with some flaws
||Posted .This is a good, easy to manage router. It comes with an app for setup, which is the only way to setup the device. Makes it very easy, but you don't get as much customization (such as not being able to change the subnet of the device, it is limited to 192.168.86.* for some reason). The app also lets you check your internet status and manage the network on the go. The device is reliable but also not as high performance as some high end routers. I had a netgear nighthawk x4 and the streaming performance on the onhub was not as strong as on the nighthawk. So, if you can deal with the drawbacks of the device, you have a reliable, easy to manage router. But if the performance drawbacks or lack of customization gives you pause, maybe look elsewhere.

Great router
||Posted .I've been using this router at home for about 6 months now. When I first bought, I did a lot of research, my old router was old and it wasn't handling all the devices that needed the internet in my house. When I first bought the onHub, it was really easy to set up, it took me less than 10 minutes. All my devices (I have about 15) are connected and I still get good speed in all of them. The best part of it is that through the app, I can check the status and speed of my connection, I can check what devices are logged in, I can create a guest account, and I can prioritize a device over the others. My connection also improved drastically. Now, I have internet even outside of my house! If you are looking for a good router, and don't want to mess with complicated setups, onHub is for you.

OnHub in mesh network
||Posted .Got 2 Asus OnHub on sale for use at home in mesh configuration. Setup: Must update to latest firmware for both units inorder for mesh support. Plug each unit into modem and follow setup procedure using Android Google Wifi app. After setup primary unit for network, 2nd unit can now be added as a mesh node. So far, it's working well. I am able to get wifi in the backyard where signal was in out using my old RT-N66U. I highly recommend it. But do keep in mind that total control of routers are lost. Google control everything. Planning to add 3rd node soon.

Best signal ever, but not able to choose much
||Posted .I really enjoyed the reliability and strength of the signal, measuring higher in corners of my house then ever before. But my doorbell needs to only connect to the 2.4 GHz band, but it is COMBINED into one singe band or WiFi ID to connect to. Beware if you have certain products like my doorbell with a limitation. But if looking for something super simple or reliable, I would go for this one if I needed WiFi in all directions to be strong. I believe the other one may help if you are startling in a corner and directing it one way to rest of house.

Q: QuestionIf I buy this product will I need to still have my Century Link modem? If so, is there a monthly charge for Google WIFI? My Century Link requires me to power the modem on and off almost every day.
Asked by Patty.
- A:Answer Yes, you will need a modem. I don't know about Century Link, but I have a recent Motorola and it works very reliably. I restart it once in a while because it's suggested, but hasn't frozen yet. Think of the two this way: the MoDem (modulate-demodulate) converts the signal in the cable or whatever to a signal your computer can understand. If you wanted a single, hard-wired connection, you wouldn't need a router because it outputs to one Ethernet port. The router allows you connect multiple devices to the one router, whether wired or wireless. There are routers (and switches, but I won't get into that) that are only wired, for situations where there are multiple wired computers connected to one port. Hope that helps.

Q: QuestionMy modem and current router is in a closet on one side of the house . Do I have to locate the Hub there or can I locate it where my current smart repeater is?
Asked by EdJ.
- A:Answer If it's another google router that is your original router the new one can be placed anywhere within signal to create "mesh" and extend the network.
Answered by Kumar
Q: QuestionHow many ethernet out plugs?
Asked by Jeff.
- A:Answer There are actually 2 ethernet ports on the device. The first is the WAN connection (to cable modem/Internet). The second is the LAN connection behind the firewall. So there is 1 ethernet out - if you need more you can chain a switch behind the LAN port.

Q: QuestionDoes the router provide parental control?
Asked by BIGRED.
- A:Answer Not yet, but it can turn "off" internet to devices during certain times at night or dinner.
Answered by Kumar
Q: QuestionI have wireless Ethernet Service and do not use a cable modem. Will this product work with that.
Asked by Chowman.
- A:Answer This device requires and Ethernet input to provide Internet Access. An option would be to use a Netgear WNCE2001 to connect to the wireless Ethernet and provide the wired connection the onhub needs.

Q: QuestionDoes the USB port support use of Air Card 4G modemTried finding details on the USB port. I do not have wired broadband and rely on a USB Air Card. Could not find on Asus web site or any manual. Does the USB port support use as WAN over USB modem?
Asked by obx_bum.
- A:Answer No, the USB port is for making USB peripherals accessible over your home network i.e. printer or external HDD. You should look at Cradlepoint routers.

Q: QuestionI have a comcast gateway modem/router but my WiFi is very slow. Can I use this to enhance my wifi speeds?
Asked by Ajohnson89.
- A:Answer That's a tricky question. your speeds depend on 4 things: 1- The amount of speed you pay your provider (1MB/s; 10MB/s; 50MB/s; etc.) 2- Your modem needs to be compatible with your speeds. If you have high-speed internet but an old modem, you might not get the full speed. 3- Your router. OnHub is a good option for a high-speed internt. If you pay for high speed, you have a good new modem, but your internet is still slow, your router might be the problem. 4- Your device. If you have an old computer or even a new one with a slower internet card, you will not get the full internet. I'll give you an example. I pay Comcast to have 60MB/s. I was getting 14MB/s. I bought a new modem (not the one they rent to you, I bought my own, it is worth it!), and I bought onHub. Now, I get a solid 87MB/s. The internet was there, the only problem was my router and modem that were throttling my speed.
