Customer Ratings & Reviews

My router died and replaced it temporarily with a $70 TP-Link which has dropout issues. I have over time used all the major brands of routers except for Asus, so after reading all the great reviews, I was excited to give this router a try. Upon setup, my two desktops, my laptop, phone and I-pad all connected. Then the fun began. None of my echo products would connect. Found a workaround on the net of putting them on a guest network. It worked, but a dumb solution. My two TVs would not connect to either network nor would my VOIP phone. At this point, I am having way too much fun. Boxing this sucker back up to return. By the way, I compared the range and speed of this unit with my cheap TP-Link, the speed was marginally better, but the TP-Link has better range.

Easy setup dashboard user friendly. Using for business network connecting 15 PCs

Seems to be working fine. Can't really tell if it is any faster, but works good. Like other asus routers it will some times drop the internet connection for no reason, then it comes back. Not often, but it does drop internet. Otherwise so far so good.

We had added a couple of exterior wi-fi cameras and this fit the bill for the extra distance coverage we needed. My son is an IT guy and he searched thru a number of different makes and chose this model. I agreed.

as usual asus provides an excellent router with all the latest features and amazing software geared towards gamers. which this doesnt dissapoint. i was able to quickly and easily setup my network with all the features i want and deep advanced settings that all the networking fuds like me enjoy.

This new Asus router replaces one that was eight year old. It was recommended to me instead of a Mesh network - and I have to say its lived up to my expectations. Best of all, I no longer get the 'your network is unstable' message while on Zoom calls. That alone was worth the price!

Considered a budget router, but it has been comparatively phenomenal. I was just using a the combo modem/router compatible with my ISP. The wireless speeds were abysmal. I upgraded to this and my wireless speeds are matching what I'm actually paying for now.

It constantly needs to be rebooted to improve WiFi performance, and has completely froze up at least twice in 6 months. Asus routers used to be reliable, now they are as useless as Netgears.

I used to be a Netgear only person. Bought a $300 netgear router and it died on me after 1.5 years. It just sat there! This is such a better build and honestly, I must have to reset it every 3 months or so — which is nothing. Only thing I don't like is how you have to share your data with third parties to enter gaming mode. That's sketch. So I took off a star. Still recommend.

I was looking for a gaming router and this was not it. It was more flash with the lighting than anything. It actuslly decreased my wifi and ethernet speed. Would not recommend.

It’s pretty simple setting it up. Really likes the looks of front light

We have midcentury fiber. We have the 250 mbps plan. We were only getting 80 - 110 mbps with their router. This one was recommended to us by a best buy employee. After hooking it up, we were getting 148.88 - 186.30 mbps.

I had a 4 year old router with 300 Mbps Wifi however as it got older, the speed was around 160 Mbps. I have 400 Mbps service and now I get 400 Mbps on Wi-Fi using the 5G channel. The 2.4G channel distance is longer than the older router.

I like how you can customize the lights I also like the gaming options it has but other then that there is better routers out there infeel but this one is still cool I’ve yet to use it to its full capacity.

Not too fancy,maybe not the BEST router, but still works if you have stable wifi

Compared to other routers with similar specs, this one is priced far more competitively and just gives you more for less $. Solid companion app, nice feature to change colors (was able to seamlessly match my desktop lighting) and excellent reception in a 2,500+ Sq Ft home.

Bought this as a replacement for another ASUS router (dark knight) that had passed it's time. Was shocked the first time I tested the download speed compared to the old router - WAY faster. So far it's been working fine with no problems

Nice router. Fast speeds. Works well with Aimesh and hardwired.

One of the best routers you can buy to work at home with a built-in firewall. You can also throttle bandwidth for guest and give your gaming devices advantage over all other devices. Highly Recommended.

This is exactly what I have needed for some time and I am so happy I chose Best Buy as my place of purchase. And, I also want to commend Samuel on his professionalism and for sharing his knowledge when installing the WiFi. Great job and I thank you.
