    Solved my issue of bad range from the AT&T router. Was able to get service downstairs, and speeds don't slow when multiple devices are streaming

    I recommend this device to get more range in your environment. I have used this in clients that have larger homes and this eliminates dead zones.

    my house seems tough on routers. This one has worked well in the several months I have had it. So no complaints is a good thing.

    Let me begin by saying I read all of the reviews for this unit prior to purchasing it. It came highly recommended and was well rated. I've been in tech for decades and the D-Link enterprise class wireless I had been using was starting to show it's age, so I purchased this as a replacement. Update the firmware on this unit immediately. Do this before you configure it, because there is a good possibility that you'll have to do a factory reset after it's completed and you'll have to re-enter your config afterwards. My first attempt to use this was met with a bit of disappointment, as the wireless connections seemed very slow and unstable compared to my previous wireless unit (it's configured as a wireless AP and not a router). It was configured to use both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands together using the same credentials and such. I'm not certain if that contributed to the problems or not, but after the firmware update, I set it back up and segregated the two bands on their own SSID's. This appears to have helped, because my connections are a lot better and definitely more solid now. I can't speak for the router side of the device as I use a different solution, but I'm only giving it three stars based on my initial experiences. It's only been a couple of months so far, so I may increase the rating after it's been in service a while and proved itself in daily usage.

    This is a very good router with long range. I have two of these and use them as a mesh system. Range is superb.

    I have had other wi-fi routers that were not as strong and boosters as well but this router is strong enough to give a excellent signal throughout the house.

    Just purchased and very impressed with ease of set up. This is one of the fastest wifi routers on the market! Replaced a NetGear Night Hawk R700 AC 1900. The Asus - AC3100 Wireless just blows it out the water on performance! You will not be disappointed with the performance. Definitely worth upgrading if you are still using an N router or older AC model. Just check out the reviews on the internet and you will see why Asus is the most respected company for Wifi routers.
