    Best WIFI 6 gaming router ever!

    I have owned many different WIFI routers prior to this one. I was just amazed! Very easy setup, many customizable settings, and just plain lightening fast! I have Gigabit internet in my home and my mesh system prior to this router just was just to slow. With this router I get a consistent 750MBs+ on my WIFI 6 devices. My other other devices get 550Mbs+ consistently. On the dedicated gaming port on the router I get 950Mbs+ consistently. This router also looks really cool with customizable LED through the app on my phone. The coverage is also excellent throughout my whole home. I highly recommend this router!

    Coverage is much better than the Netgear unit I had before. Very easy setup. I don’t need an extender with this unit to reach an out side shop I work in.

    Solid Router for Gaming and Streaming.

    A solid router that gives so much coverage around my house. Speeds are far superior compared to the stock Spectrum router I've been running for a year until upgrading to this and this gave me low ping on games and zero buffering on video streaming. The app isn't too bad but has plenty of control for the basic features like rgb, etc. Overall a great value if you're also looking to get the latest WiFi 6 speeds as I can vouch that with those devices compatible, the speeds are simply great.

    Download the app and update the Firmware!! Replaced the Spectrum router with this and haven't looked back! Good range,a slew of features,and mesh compatibility. I was suprised to find how many of the hidden features I am using through the app. The parental controls are great if you have a tween. Also loving the guest wifi feature and the vpn. For the price, features, and how good it works cant beat it!

    Works great! It is really fast and like the way it looks. It has a long range signal. Wifi6 has worked fine on my phone. One important thing with WiFi mesh is when you put to 2 WiFi boxes together, the second one will have half the speed of the first one. With PS5 I had below the router and got about 450Mbps download on WiFi6 in speed test. Guess the WiFi in the PS5 is not very fast. Hooked it up to wired and went 1Gbps download in speed test. Xbox Series X it doesn't support WiFi6.

    Beast of a device

    Bought this beast after recommendation from a friend due to months of issues with Spectrum's wifi router (whole other story). Followed the instructions provided and set up was a breeze. Immediate improvement in network stability and wifi speeds across all devices (smart TV, cameras, gaming console, smartphones, etc). Couple of months after, we took the Verizon 5G Home Internet for a spin. Swapping between modems was a sinch. The router was easily able to handle the higher speeds. A little pricier than we are used to, but got it on sale and couldn't be happier with the purchase. Added bonus we are total tech members so warranty included!

    Very easy installation. Excellent access and control via ASUS app on either Android or iOS. Easiest router setup I've yet done. The speed and stability of the 2.4 and 5 GHz antennas seem to be a notable upgrade. My Lenovo Carbon X1 and Galaxy S9 will connect wirelessly to the router at 1733 Mbps -- about twice as fast as my prior router. I have 20 devices on the router between the 2.4 and 5GHz bands, including 2 game systems. This router is handling everything without any lag. Even my printer, connected by cable to the router, wakes and responds faster! The remote access to the router is a gift. Being able to reset the router or regulate internet access, etc. when out of the house is a major plus for parents, just sayin'. It is easier, in my opinion, to set up parental controls via the Android or iOS app rather than on the router interface via laptop. The laptop interface is excellent, in my opinion, but for the casual homeowner the number of choices and settings is overwhelming -- and can be messed up. This router interface does somewhat expect that you, the user, know what you are doing if you are changing settings. It won't ask many questions and will let you change pretty much whatever you want. I would consider myself intermediate to expert on computers and routers . . . but I am certain the average user will be most comfortable using the APP instead of the computer GUI because the full router controls are wideranging and a little complex. But if you want it -- especially for the advanced user -- you will have CONTROL of EVERYTHING you want to control. My prior router was an ASUS AC3100, but it died after 21 months, so this was a replacement/upgrade. My only reason for not giving highest marks for Quality and Value are the fact that my prior ASUS router did not last even 2 years -- but I did get a Geek Squad plan on it so it was replaced by Best Buy essentially free of charge to me. Thanks, Best Buy! So, I will have to wait to see if this router lasts longer, but so far no complaints regarding ease of use, speed and functionality. Definitely a superior router to the ASUS AC3100. And, yes, I did get the Geek Squad protection again . . . it has paid off for me a couple of times (which does NOT speak well of the quality of some of the electronics on the market currently). Not Best Buy's fault, but some of the electronics nowadays are just not much for durability. Sad. A final trivial note: my wife and kids love the "glowing eyes" effects on the front of the router. Looks really cool in the dark! Kinda works for a Halloween decoration, actually.
