This is a far superior router than any Cisco router! On par with NetGear, but a bit better for the price.

I had high hopes for this router.
The ethernet connection between the router and cable modem was as good as other routers on the market today.
The wireless at 4.2GHz was good but at 5GHz it dropped, locked up the router and was very unstable. I returned it and hooked my Netgear AC1900 back up and it is running good.
I was looking for faster WiFi but this router did not provide it. If I did not have the 5GHz issues I would have kept it.

Was looking for a router with good coverage that could handle multiple devices (family of 6). Was recommended this Asus RT-AC3100 router. Worked great for mounting vertically on wall and able to move antennas. After a couple days of hooking up it quit sending out 5ghz wifi, turned off & turned back on, working. After another day quit sending 2.4ghz wifi, turned off & back on, working. After another day quit working completely, power light on and that's it, turned off & back on multiple times, pushed reset button ... nothing, dead. Returned and exchanged for another one, hooked up, after 4 days of working fine Internet stopped working, it stopped communicating with my modem. Called Asus support, took like 10 minutes just to go through automated system to get to router support, then on hold listening to some guy say how good Asus is and their products, but nothing saying I'm on hold waiting for the next available representative, so put phone on speaker and waited to see if somebody answered. After several minutes got customer support. They said there was a firmware update causing the communication issue and I needed to install the previous version of firmware. They emailed me a link to the firmware and instructions. Did what it said trying on my Mac and a Windows computer, kept getting Firmware install failed. Called back to Asus support, remembered prompts (5, 3, I believe) and was much faster. Talked to a new person, told me I had to be hard wired to the modem, which the previous person and instructions didn't mention. Tried but still got same failed message. Support then told me to return to Best Buy which I did. I'm done with Asus and going to give the Netgear X6 a try, which is the one I was going to buy originally until the Asus was recommended. I didn't like the parental controls on the Asus either, you couldn't blanket the controls, you had to add controls as each device was added to the router, which when the kids have friends over with their devices becomes a pain to go in and add parental controls, and can only have a total of 16 devices on parental controls. With adding parental controls to my devices that have internet access, 3 smart tvs, 4 smart DVD players, 4 iPhones, iPod, 4 tablets, 4 computers I'm beyond the 16 devices ....
