- Pros mentioned:Speed
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Range for miles (not literally, but almost!)
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this router to replace a 10 year old ASUS AC3100 for an RV we use as a short term rental about 100 feet from our house. One thing that ASUS has over the competition is they work well out of the box as repeaters. We have gig fiber optic internet with a mesh system provided by our ISP which is OK, but ASUS routers are able to pick up signals from further away that no other routers can. The old router was connected using the 2.5 mhz band which occasionally dropped connections and given its age it was time to retire it. The RT-AX82U is able to pick up the 5 mhz band from our house with a reasonable signal strength, so now our short term guests have access to fiber optic speeds without our having to run ethernet over to the RV. Very good router for the price.

Gamers and streamers beware!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.All the reviews you read about after a few months of ownership is true. After 3 months of having this we have had nothing but issues. My husband is a gamer and we have a Xbox Series X and he can't play online with friends because of the constant lagging of internet ( and his Xbox is wired in). We only got this because we thought we would upgrade our Netgear. We owned our Netgear for 3 years with no issues with service. Our internet speed from spectrum is 400. Asus customer service is lacking because they will just repeat every step they have already done to try to fix the issues which never gets fixed. I've asked for a replacement and they avoid the question. I myself stream movies and i have to constantly deal with my movies pausing and the picture quality degrading. Overall I wouldn't recommend this product especially for gamers or people who like to watch movies.

Did I get a bad one?
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As long time user of (2) Asus AC1900 (RT-AC68U) routers I was really disappointed that despite multiple attempts to install this router, NONE of the devices (20+) on my network will connect to it! Before doing anything I did indeed update to the latest firmware. I tried both WITH wifi 6 enabled and WITHOUT it being enabled, no change. My SSID's ARE separate (i.e.. MYSID and MYSID_5G). I also tried factory reset at least twice. ONLY My Galaxy S10, which is wifi 6 capable, will connect to this router. Oddly it shows/thinks? it is connected to wifi 6 no matter what settings are on the router (whether wifi 6 is enabled or disabled.) Perhaps this is part of the problem, that the router broadcasts in wifi 6 no matter what? VERY DISSAPOINTED ASUS! Will update this IF/WHEN things change, presumably after I spend hours on the phone with tech support because I have searched high and low online and can't seem to find anyone with similar problems or a fix that works, which is strange and further leads me to believe maybe I got a bad one.

Posted .Dear Valued Customer,
It's unfortunate to hear that light is very annoying to you. This is absolutely not the kind of experience we want any of our customers to have. You can enable or disable the lighting if you desire, the button is located at the very front above the aura lighting.
When the LED is on, press the button for 3 seconds to turn off the LED and Aura lighting.
When the LED is off, press the button for 3 seconds to turn on the LED and Aura lighting.

Slower speeds than I ever expected.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hmmm. Weird because I like ASUS as far as gaming goes. I had an ASUS pc. But this router was getting horrible speeds. I updated and tried everything to make it run to get better speeds. But this one is a no go for me. Especially at the price they ask. Note: maybe mine is defective but I won’t be getting another so I I won’t know for sure.

||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Never really worked correctly. Ended up going back to my old router. This one would not hold a Wi-Fi connection even when close or far away. Had to reboot it constantly. Upgraded firmware and still did not fix the issue.
