    SUCH An Upgrade, Simple to Install

    Compared to our old router (one of those $20 Netgear routers that you pick up when you're poor and desperate for any form of internet), there is absolutely no comparison. Setup was really simple, and our download/upload speeds tripled instantly. (I've been paying for Utopia fiber internet for way too long without a router that can actually use the speeds.) We can also use all of our devices without worrying that our streaming or downloads are going to make everyone else in the house stutter and pause. If you're like me, starting at the bottom of the barrel but worried that your networking inexperience will get in the way of finally gaining access to the internet you've been paying for, ASUS is an excellent choice.

    This is probably the best and easiest to use router I’ve seen in a long time. We have two meshed together for a wider range and the set up was incredibly easy. I manage both via the ASUS app and can see who is connected to them.

    It has really neat lights on front. The range is really far, covered me entire apartment in 3 bars of signal, walls don’t seem to upset it. I even get signal in the parking lot before I even park. Speed is great for streaming and gaming as long as your provider can keep up

    First time using an ASUS router! Let me say this thing is amazing! I use 5G connection only for gaming consoles! But even 2.4G connection is enough for all your devices! The app is useful as well to setup your router! Plus WiFi never disconnects, unlike other routers I've expiernced with!

    Worthwhile upgrade

    I purchased this router as an upgrade for my previous Linksys. I had been looking at mesh routers for quite a while. My old router would not consistently make it to all corners of my house for any high bandwidth applications. The options to add nodes to the mesh network did negate the cost of the upgrade; expanding network with nodes does provide a bit of future proofing. I expect to be able to upgrade my network without having to upgrade this router if he need arises. The cost was a factor but it quickly became moot as router exceeded expectations. I have noticed a considerable speed improvement and range has indeed improved. Video communication how has no gaps or freezes in the areas where it was spotty before. Setup was easy and the phone app has all of the options necessary for network monitoring and security. Even though I am not a gamer, this router has everything that I need or even wish for in a router. As of now, it was a perfect upgrade that I hope will provide service as long as my Linksys did.

    Worked out better than expected. Using it as a part of a aimesh setup. Filled a big hole in the coverage. Setup was a breeze with the app. The breathing color is not that offensive, and would be a plus to a Egbert setup.

    This is a great router, almost sets itself up. I will say that the first one had an issue and this is the replacement. I use it for home automation and security and it is compatible with 2.4 and 5 legacy electronics. The app is nice too.
