FAST WiFi 6 Router
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Where do I start? Great product that provides amazing fast internet across my whole house, without the need for boosters or extenders. The RGB lighting is an added bonus. Plus easy setup with the app makes this an easy recommendation.

OK for basic stuff, TERRIBLE range,
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.~2 months ownership. It replaced my fiber isp's leased calix router; my service is only 50down/50up as it is all I need. Good-no dropped connections, light adjustability, does a fine job for basic internet stuff, decent with gaming (wired), speedtest. Cons- range is TERRIBLE 5K sq foot home with this in center and doesn't cover even half the house, videos over 720 resolution pixelate and buffer (on a hard wired connection), WILD speed fluctuations, and broadcasting from a phone or computer to tv-forget about it. The isp's calix router was LEAPS and BOUNDS better than this one-it ran FLAWLESS for a year. I would (and am) look for something else. (and i'm not spending hours on phone tech support to "fix" something that should work out of the box). My second and last asus product.

Posted .Dear Shooter7,
Thank you for your comment.
We do understand your disappointment with the product and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are experiencing weak signal strength. Typically, the coverage of this ZenWIFI is up to 5700 sq. ft. To resolve the weak signal, place the router in the center of the area you want to cover, avoid placing the router near metal objects, electronic devices or direct sunlight, position the router on a flat, hard surface and halfway between the floor and ceiling. Additionally, dense building materials, such as gypsum, concrete walls and planks can affect Wi-Fi signal penetration. Also, we recommend updating the router's firmware if it is running with an older version. Firmware is available for download at:  https://www.asus.com/us/networking-iot-servers/wifi-routers/asus-gaming-routers/rt-ax82u/helpdesk_bios?model2Name=RT-AX82U. Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I would be more than happy to help. Or you are most welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent from the link: https://www.asus.com/us/support/article/1135/.
Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.
Regards,

So far So good!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I wanted to upgrade my router to take full advantage of my 300+ mbps internet plan and I decided to go with this one. Speeds are well over 300 mbps and its easy to manage. *Please plug in your router and modem into a separate power outlet than the rest of your appliances (TV, soundbar ...) for better speeds. I noticed that my speeds suddenly dropped and I couldn't figure out why. I was getting ready to have a tech come over take a look but before then I decided to separate the modem and router to a different outlet and sure enough speeds spiked. I had these plugged into a multiple outlet bar along with my soundbar and TV. Modem and Router weren't getting enough power plugged in with everything else.

Seems like just an average router to me
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Based on the other reviews here, I really was expecting to be blown away by this router. People here made it seem like the signal would go through 24 inch thick lead walls. Well, I have the router in a room, and directly beneath it, about 12 feet away is my Xbox One. The only thing between the two is a standard sheetrock ceiling / floor. My signal at that spot is Fair to Good. So... yeah. Also, the signal is not very strong just 23 feet from the router simply because I walk down 5 stairs and close my inside door which is just a hollow door. So, not sure if I am doing something wrong here. AX is on, I point the antennae every which way, no difference.

An affordable next-gen solution
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very happy with this router overall, and even happier that I can use my old router with ASUS's AiMesh to extend my wifi into my garage using the same network credentials. It all works seamlessly, and the speeds are great.

Fast and Easy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to replace a Netgear Nighthawk AX8 that was buggy. It was very easy to setup and I get descent coverage (not as much as the netgear). But it easily covers my 1,700 sq. ft. house. It just works.

Great small business Wireless Access Point
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This wireless router was a pleasant surprise as I used it in a small law firm office to replace an old wireless router which was weak with many dead spots. Used two in a mesh setup, they work perfectly together with no more dead spots !

ASUS continues to impress
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly, I've had dozens of routers over the past 10 years, I have a problem lol. I really like Netgear because they offer Bitdefender, and its easy to manage a bunch of them remotely for family. But for myself... I always come back to Asus, and this guy just makes me fall in love all over. I can't seem to make it angry, and trust me... I'm hard on networks being in Enterprise IT, and on off time streaming thousands of TV/Movies and hundreds of video games. I put these through the gauntlet downloading terabytes of data till they crash... and ASUS seldom ever do. If you are a gamer, this guy will be all you need for years.

Great and fast router
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s been great so far, I had problems with my old router. I game a lot and it’s been great on that and easy to configure. I attached a external hard drive to the USB port and been streaming movies off it at home.
