Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was the best purchase ever. I’ve always used netgear. I’ve gone low cost to high costs on netgear. I decided this time to try a different company. This router is the best ever. I get full bars throughout my entire house, I have a lot of wifi equipment connected, and never get the scroll on my tv. This handles everything with no effort. Also very easy to set up and connect to. Also, my house is 2300 sq fr of living space and I get connection everywhere.

Nice, solid router. In depth app settings, still learning. Over 1GB/s in Playstation 4 through CAT6 cable non wifi. Strong wifi to top floor and basement. Easy app control to turn wifi on and off and manage users. No other options really, never go with company provided routers, nothing compares to this, and its a no brainer investment. The internet isnt going anywhere.

Simple to set up. Love the “scan QR code to join network” for when friends or family need access. Allows the password to remain secret. App is awesome. Range is great. Perfect for our 1700sq foot ranch. Signal in the basement is great too.

I had a Netgear Nighthawk R7000 from about 10 years ago (2013 maybe). It started getting buggy and constantly having wifi connectivity issues. I wanted a router that let’s you have both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands on at the same time and separate. The router that came with my new internet service provider only had the “smart feature” that automatically chooses the best band for the device, but my devices constantly disconnected and I’d have to constantly reconnect from a new setup or restart the router multiple times a day. My old Nertgear had the same smart band switching feature, but also let you have both bands on ar the same time but separately, except my devices would constantly disconnet and I’d have to restart my router all day too. So found out the old Netgear had other users complaining on forums that the firmware over the years had essentially bricked the router or made it super buggy, like mine. So I bought this Asus router and it’s been perfect. I’m back to normal and have had zero issues, either setting up my devices or keeping connection. I have several Apple Homepods, a Google smart speaker, several smart light swithces, smart thermostat, smart garage door openers, smart TVs, laptops, desktops, and a Tesla that connects to WiFi at home. So I have about 21 total smart devices, some which need to be on 2.4Ghz like the thermostat and garage door openers and lights, while others benefit from the 5Ghz like my iphone and laptops and HomePods. So thought I’d write a good review after having read another Review where someone had the same Netgear Nighthawk R7000 with issues and had upgraded to this Asus and liked it. So here you go, for anyone else it might sway.

Fantastic router so far. No real issues at all. Good range good speed good quality good price.

This router provides excellent signal strength, speed and coverage for my entire house. The Asus app to manage your router on a mobile phone is fantastic, easy to use but also has all the advanced user controls I would want, such as being able to lock an IP address or reroute one.

From using AT&T, Spectrum modems to this beauty. Good bye: * wireless connections lost (modems disconnecting devices with no reason) * weak signal. * slowness. I was thinking to build my mesh system, but only this Router was enough to cover all the corners of my house. Fast, reliable. The internet access can be controlled from the mobile app (very easy). You can configure a VPN server or a VPN client You will have WIFI-6

My previous router was a Netgear RangeMax which gave good service for 12 years until the 2.4 GHZ radio gave up the ghost. After reading nightmare reviews for routers from many top manufacturers, I purchased this Asus model based on its great reviews. My first impressions are that this is an outstanding router. To begin, setup literally could not have been easier. Connected it to my cable modem, powered it on, and completed the setup in five minutes via the mobile app. It was not necessary to update network adapter drivers on any of my PCs. Range is great - I get excellent connectivity from anywhere in my 1550 sq ft home. This includes two smart TVs, two wireless printers, two PCs, smartphones, wireless security with multiple cameras, and wifi connected lighting in multiple rooms. The app is the crown jewel. The interface is intuitive and fun to use. Using it, I can see real-time traffic, know every device connected to the network - and identify and label them. The best way to do this when their identity is not clear is grab the MAC address from the device label or from the app associated with the device (like wifi lighting) and match it to the MAC address given for the mystery device by the Asus app. The app reports connection quality for every online device so no need to use a wifi mapper. I am very satisfied with this purchase and would highly recommend this router for anyone with a network environment similar to my own.

Great device so far. No issues. Easy to configure. Phone app is helpful. Coverage for my apartment and patio is good. Didn't give 5 stars due to the fact that I don't have any WiFi6 devices so I can't test those. I had a 8 year old Netgear router that I figured I should upgrade, looking to the future of replacing my older devices. I can say this I am getting slightly higher speed test results on existing devices. Very satisfied with purchase and looking forward to the time when I upgrade my devices because I will be ready.

Needed an update for my aging Asus router from years ago, and decided to splurge a bit and get a WiFi6 router. Difference is night and day, I get wired quality speeds on every device, wired or not. Signal on both bands is excellent, and Asus continues to have a very easy to use BIOS. It's a tad expensive, but the gains are worth it, especially if you do high bandwith stuff like gaming.

Excellent. I had an Asus router for many years with great service. It is one of the few that offers OpenVPN and used it when overseas visiting daughter to log back into my home system. Suddenly my service kept cutting out, blaming Xfinity of course. After multiple unplugging both router and cable modem several times, would work for a while, then quit, repeat process. Got fed up and went into Xfinity system and to my surprise had no problem reaching me on their side, and sent a reset signal. Problems persists. Upgraded my router from the 1900 to the 3000 and no problems since. It was an easy setup as I made notes (port forward, assignments, etc) to replicate with the new modem, however do wish there was a manual as there were some new fields that even recent YouTube didn't show the new layout. That said, loaded the new OpenVPN file in the laptop, went to Starbucks and tested it (can't test on same network). Success - had a secure tunnel from Starbucks to my home.

Setup super easy, support for advanced security. Good signal. Nice gui.

Loving this new router that replaced my 10+ year old Linksys router that could no longer keep up with today's internet speeds. Setup couldn't have been easier due to the friendly app, making it not much harder than swapping out all the existing cables from the old router to the new one, and we're off and flying at speeds we could never hit before.

I had a XR500, my second nighthawk product. Very cool looking, cool names, functional. There was an outage in my area for a few hours, upon reconnection the XR500 fried. Did some quick research on local modem options, as I needed the internet immediately for work. To my pleasant surprise, this ASUS router works better than the XR500, at half the price. Better signal strength overall and no drops yet. Really good software, pretty much plug and play with my Xbox.

Overall this is a great router, I have over 30 devices connected to it and while I'm not totally satisfied with 70 MBPS download at 2.4GHZ I'm getting well over 500 MBPS at my 5 GHZ to all the devices. It was very easy to setup, and it's even easier to control from my phone. I'm satisfied with the customization of using a VPN so I can remote into my home computer. I'm very happy with the router's performance.

This is a great router for people who want more out of their internet without having the limitations of a company provided router/modem. It has great range with the support of a lot of devices. Setting it up was a breeze, it came with a ethernet cord that connected to modem and from there on it was just setting up the settings. The only reason why i give this 4 stars instead of 5 is because sometimes the router randomly disconnects my devices but will automatically reconnect after a couple of seconds. Overall pretty good router.

Asus router is easy setup, fast reliable and has strong wifi connection

Everything works, range is awesome much better than what most say. 4000 square foot house 2 level plus basement, on 9000 square foot property I get signal everywhere. Router is on top floor and i get 3 of 4 bars in basement and 1-2 bars on farthest part of property. Thats all 5ghz band. Before had a 1200ac and that lost signal outside of house on 5Ghz. Average Wifi speeds around 600mbits and wired is 850mbps. Thats average not peak speed.

Works amazing for my parents and the ASUS app is amazing and easy to use and can go into a lot of detail. You can control every aspect of this router and it works like a charm. Looks great too!

Asus makes a premium product and I have used these routers for many years. The RT-AX58U provides top speed and configuration for whatever application you use it. I currently have 1Gbps fiber and it tests out to the maximum with a wide coverage area. I would recommend this router to anyone that wants a complete experience with speed, security and reliability.
