    BOOOOOOOOOY this thing is sweet! I have a wife that works from home plus kids. I can group all their devices and monitor up and down speeds. The app has functions so that you can prioritize which devices you want to have better speed. Made me a little nervous when installing my own VPN but it was just resetting itself. Definitely do a little research and follow the instructions along with the app. Great buy and can't wait to add on more for a mesh wifi system

    Upgraded to this from my old Asus RT-AC5300 that I got back when 5GHz was still pretty new. It's a worthy upgrade, and my partner and I are looking forward to utilizing the 6GHz more for VR. One thing I was a little disappointed with was the fact that you can't link the dual 6GHz bands together like my old one can for 5GHz. It's very chonky, so make sure you have the space!

    It’s ok it seems to work seemlessly with my devices I had an ax 11000 worked great wit an ASUS 92 as a mesh. Now I have this be98 as my main unit and ax 10000 and ASUS 92 as mesh nodes. One router on every floor. No dead zones outdoor wireless cameras work beautifully my son PS 5 says it’s faster. I have 1g internet not much improvement in way of speed but the coverage is phenomenal. After a few firmware updates it’ll be fine. Oh out of the box the router had to be reset. ASUS walked me through it and setting up mesh on the phone. Very good tech support.

    This router is future proof for a good while. Components using wifi 6 and wifi 7 won't be going away for a good while. The router has a great deal of options for just about any situation you might find yourself in. The range is quite good also.

    Great Router not just for gaming but ive known businesses to use it as well. The settings may seem overwhelming at first glance but if you take your time the biggest advantage of ASUS Pro series routers is the free lifetime subscription for their AI powered Firewall.

    This is a great upgrade if you have a previous ASUS router, upgrading from Rog Rapture GT-AX11000, using this router as my main router and using my previous router as a aimesh node to boost my signal strength.

    This router is the BOSS! It easily covers my 2 story 2700 square foot home. One of my favorite features is that ASUS is one of the only router companies that doesn't charge a subscription to use parental controls for your kids using the network.

    NOT WORTH THE PRICE UNLESS THEY FIX 6GHZ

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Pros: Looks great Antennas are built-in Blazing fast Great range Good app and UI Cons: 6GHZ frequency will cause random restarts, losing all connections often throughout the day. The fix is to disable 6GHZ, which is dumb and doesn’t justify the price tag. I’m on the verge of returning if they don’t fix it. New firmware didn’t do anything to resolve. Gets hot, Make sure you have it in a well ventilated area.

    Holy CRACKERS does this thing have it all. Range (check) Speed (check) Coverage (check) Security (check) VPN (check) It's got not only it's primary Wi-Fi node, but also supports a guest Wi-Fi node AAAND a separate VLAN dedicated for the isolation of connected IoT (Internet of Things) smart appliances! Now all I need are some Wi-Fi 7 capable devices!

    It’s a beast but it delivers

    This thing is a beast and the factory packaging is excessive. It took longer to unwrap all the packaging than to set my network up. Once you’re plugged in setup is easy through the app or web interface and very user friendly. The router itself is a beast and the lighting is kind of obnoxious but that’s ok because that’s the target audience and besides, you can turn it off. I simply care that it performs and it truly does. I had an Eero 6 Pro 3 base station setup before this which worked great in my 2600 sq ft single story house. I just upgraded to AT&T 2 Gig internet and this router is exactly what I needed as most routers on the market will not cut it. Wired tests were phenomenal: 2300/2300 Mbps download/upload on Cat 6 cable and 940/940 on Cat 5E through a gigabit switch. I don’t have any Wifi 7 devices so I tested with my Wifi 6E iPhone and I got the following in order of closest to furthest distance from the router: Office at front of house(router location) 1230/1400 Living room (adjacent to office) 1000/600 Family room 580/190 Garage (adjacent to office) 1120/850 Guest bedroom 640/260 Bedroom 1 720/280 Bedroom 2 480/150 Master Bedroom 520/160 Master bathroom (furthest room to router) 50/10 Standing next to the router it will use the 6GHz band which is great but the range is minimal. Standing at the furthest room in the house it drops to 2.4 GHz where the signal will be great but the actual throughput on this band is kind of mediocre but still usable. There’s always room to expand as it can mesh with other Asus routers so that’s a plus. I highly recommend this router if you’re getting more than 1 gig from your ISP: this and Cat 6 cables are the ticket for the ultimate home network.

    Very good signal range

    Very good range in a two story town home. The walls and ceiling still provided a bit of a challenge for upstairs as I had to place it down stairs, but provided much stronger signal than the included ISP Gateway from Comcast. While it did its part very well I decided to return this and switch to the Orbi mesh system. For those not running mesh or on a one story residence I’d highly recommend this. The antennas are not subtle in appearance however
