    So far been using this router in replace of the be92u triban router. And i use it meshed wifi 6g. So far i noticed my internet speeds faster in my room wifi off mobile and wired is just fine with this and before. Range is better for sure. Loving it so far. Is it overkill for me? Yes. Do i care? No. It is said this is better meshed up then main router and i like it. The be92u i hadwss good aswell but i think this is performing maybe 30 percent better

    So far so good. My old router was giving me 400mbps. This was has gone as high as 1700mbps. Would recommend Blazing fast and worth the extra money. Very high signal strength.

    This wifi router is the one. BUT, make sure you update the firmware BEFORE turning on QoS. There's a known issue a firmware upgrade fixes so the unit doesn't end up in a boot loop and bricking it.

    We have a 2 story house, about 1200 square feet on each level. We have always had problems getting a good wifisignal that covered the whole house. We have tried the mesh systems, before we got this Asus router, we had a main router and 2 wifi extenders. There were still dead zones in certain areas of our home as well as a lot of places where the speeds were like 20% of what they should be. I have owned a lot of Asus Rog products in the past, so I was excited to give this a try and see if it could solve our wifi problems forever! Out of the box, this is clearly a Rog product, it has the cool design, lots of square edges as well as a big light up logo on the front that can be customized with different colors and light patterns. Before I go any further, Asus, if you are listening, PLEASE add a brightness control to the front light. Its cool and all, but it is very bright! Yes, there is an option to turn it off completely, but I think being able to dim it would be very beneficial to still be able to keep it on, but not have it be so bright. Other than that, there are some status lights on the front and tons of ports on the back. In our house we have lots of desktop computers for home as well as a couple work from home desktops as well. Then we have the teenager with the gaming rig. We also have tons of security cameras, smart lights and switches, and lots of other devices that we need to connect wirelessly. Getting the router set up was very easy. There is a companion app that you can download on your phone to get it set up and handle all of the settings on the router. On the back you have 2 - 2.5G gaming ports, 7 - 2.5G ports and 1 - 2.5G WAN port for a total of 20 Gbps of Ethernet capacity. So, I would think for just about anyone that would be more than enough ports! I got everything set up, all of our desktops are hard wired and everything else is wireless. I was very excited to see how the wireless would be on this router. It claims up to 3300 square feet of coverage with the 8 internal antennas. I am very happy to say that it indeed covers our entire house without any repeaters or range extenders or anything like that. We have 1G service and there isn’t anywhere in our house that we get less than 500Mbps which we are VERY happy about. Not to mention we now can get wifi on our back deck and front porch which we never really were able to get before. The speeds for both wired and wireless have been amazing. We have had it hooked up for probably about 3 weeks now and haven’t had a single problem with the router or the internet going out or anything like that. Productivity on the desktops have been perfect, and the kids say gaming has been a lot better than it was before due to the increase in speeds. They used to constantly complain that online gaming was almost impossible to do because of the lag and slow speeds, and now that is a thing of the past! I have yet to find any major negatives about this router except for the insanely bright light on the front. It would be nice if it had VLAN capabilities because it would be nice to keep our work computers separate from the rest of the network, but that’s not a total dealbreaker. If you really want to dive into the settings there are tons of customization options like VPN’s, parental controls, as well as security from online threats and router intrusions. I very highly recommend this router to anyone! It has amazing coverage that far exceeds any mesh system or extenders I have ever tried (and I have tried a lot!)

    ASUS BE-18000 ROUTER, I'm a big fan of ASUS routers, this was a big upgrade for me. With its 6G capabilities all I had to do was get a 6G usb antenna for my PC and now my wireless speed has almost doubled!

    Has been solid so far! You have to download the app to enable the AFC feature; it uses your phone location to check if it's allowed. One of the few router's that have the function enabled! Has been very stable.
