Good Buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent. Easy Setup. I did have one fail so make sure you get a warranty. Especially if you live in Oklahoma and have an unnecessary amounts of power outages...

better then any mesh system out there
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The wifi range is great and exactly what i was looking for as I wanted to separate my smart network from the rest of my devices. The app is easy to use but i would like to have more historical information in regards to how much data devices are using over a period of time.

I’ll Always Buy ASUS Router
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Thankfully it worked as I had hoped! I just set up a gaming room that is approximately 50 feet away and has to transmit bandwidth through thick concrete walls. The signal is strong!

Amazing Dual-Band WIFI 6 Router
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let's get this out of the way. This thing is expensive, but you get what you're paying for. If all you need is just a router, this isn't for you. You want all the bells and whistles then save up and buy it.

Great router
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The router was super easy to setup and has been running great for the last month. Was having issues with my previous Netgear router having to be rebooted 3-4 times a week. Has not happened with this router. So far no complaints.

Just a router today - mesh network tomorrow
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted a better router to give better performance and range instead of the ISP-provided one. I first tried another brand's mesh network system that included more than one node. After 1 month of different problems, I returned it and decided on the Asus. If I wanted another mesh network, I could buy any of the many Asus routers that would turn into a mesh network. Starting with this router alone, it has provided a better signal than the ISP-provided gateway with many more features available that can be used. The community support throughout the web is phenomenal for any possible issues. I know I made the rest decision. The only negative is Asus support itself. I wrote a ticket and 2 weeks later received an answer. Community support is the way to go for Asus.

Great Router, No issues that other people have
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It took me a long time to get my hands on this router. It was always sold out, but I am glad I finally got it. People who initially purchased this had issues, but with the most recent firmware I have none. All of the options to configure games and devices are very good. I have used Linksys and Netgear in the past as well, but ASUS has many configuration options that the others do not. This is why I prefer ASUS routers. I know you can flash other routers with open-source firmware, but I am very happy with this. The WIFI 6 works great, however, I do wish it was 6E, but that isn't really a con. This is by far the best value router in this price range and I expect it to keep me happy for 5+ years. I would consider myself an above-average user with routers, but definitely not an expert.

Great overall
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Slightly bigger than I thought but not too bad. This is connected to a router with very poor wifi so disabled that one and running this in AP mode. Range is decent but perhaps due to my walls or router placement it doesn't work very well at a distance. When in range, connection is strong and fast. Will probably need to add mesh nodes later. The admin console is clean and fast with many options like enabling servers and cloud connections. Haven't had a chance to try any yet or the mobile app so can't speak about them. Initial setup seemed a little intimating at first but figured it out after a couple tries.

Best router

Better than more expensive Netgear router
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This router replaced a much more expensive Netgear router (RAX120) and works much better. I'll stick with Asus routers after having a few Netgear that have not matched my expectations.
