great router, looks good, range is good. It doesn't catch in the garage, which it is not far from. I don't think this is a quality issue or lack of signal strength, as I have brick walls. Good for everything promised. I connected this with the ZenWiFi 3 pack with this as the primary and the 3 pack as nodes around the house. Great setup.

Boosted internet speeds immediately. Wifi 6 blows the previous generation out of the water. Customizable rgb settings, but you can really only change the color for these settings on a few options. Easy set up through the separate Asus Router app, just plug in and play! Was slightly pricy, but you're always going to pay more to upgrade, and this model should hold it's weight for at least a few years.

Waited to review this router for at least a month before reviewing. It replaced a Linksys AC1900 that I had for 2 years that was not performing well at all. Installation and setup was easy and should not be a problem for a novice. Most notable improvement was my download speed that jumped from 86mbs with the Linksys to 261mbs which greatly improved the quality of Netflix, Amazon Prime and downloading large files. Secondly, my buffer bloat (lag between requesting packets and receiving them) dropped from110ms to less then 30ms for downloads and and 140ms to 80ms for uploads. This is one of the causes for stuttering when streaming video content. Coverage is now much,much better in my 1800 sq ft home where the router is centrally located. Highly recommend this router even if you are not a gamer.

I bought this router in April of 2025 with a 3 year warranty. On January 25 the 5ghz signal stopped working and the 2.4ghz signal only works up to about 10 feet away. I went to Asus and they said I needed to contact Best Buy. I chatted online and the agent said I needed to bring it in to have the Geek Squad look at it. I made an appointment and went I went in for my appointment I was told they can't do anything for me and that I needed to go to Asus. The chat agent should have told me that instead of having me was another day. Best Buy gets no stars for their customer service!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Brand response from ASUS Answers

Dear RickB,
We apologize for the complete failure of your router's 5GHz signal and the severely degraded 2.4GHz range, especially after only nine months of use and while still under a 3-year warranty. The runaround you've experienced between ASUS and Best Buy for warranty service is unacceptable and incredibly frustrating. Please know that all ASUS products undergo intensive quality control testing and inspections; this is a random problem. ASUS provides warranty coverage in order to fix or repair any product that may stop working prematurely under normal usage. Should you need assistance sending the unit in for warranty service, you can reach me at [email protected]. Please copy a link to this post as a reference.
Thank you for choosing ASUS!
Best Regards, Adrian ASUS Customer Loyalty – US Support

I live in a townhouse where my bedroom is upstairs and the modem is downstairs. My Wifi in my room sucked super bad so I bought this router as I do play games and need my internet to be good in my room. Best purchase ever. My WiFi has never been faster. It also has some really cool features on the app.

Originally got a $400 router on sale for half price during Black Friday, and I have never had so many issues with a router. Spent hours just trying to connect my printer to the wifi with no luck. Must have been a good reason the discount was so deep. I took it back after a couple days of wasted effort and exchanged for this. Couldn't be happier! Everything worked perfectly right away. On the 5ghz wifi band I can transfer files from my PC to my NAS at 40MB/sec, a huge upgrade from my previous Google Wifi router.
My only complaint is I would have liked to keep the combined 2.4/5ghz bands for cleanliness, but I just could not get it to keep my PC on the 5ghz band even though they're only about 20 feet apart. There are some settings to adjust and I poked at them a bit, but unless you're a networking technician the parameters are far too technical to understand. Being able to tie a mac address to a specific band would be a really nice and simple feature. In the end I just split the bands and problem solved, it just seems kinda silly how little control you have.
One other thing, MU-MIMO is a big reason I upgraded my router, and for some reason it's off by default. Be sure to go through your settings to make sure any advertised features you want are turned on.
If I had to nitpick anything else, the design is kind of dorky. It lives in our closet anyways so whatever. It also lacks mounting holes on the bottom, so you don't have the option of wall mounting in case you're wondering.
