Customer Ratings & Reviews

This router was extremely easy to setup and works right out of the box. Wireless connection is fast and stable over a good distance. Cable connection is great for fast uploading and downloading.

I use this to extend wifi to a 2nd house, I have a cat 5 cable going from one house to the other and plugged it into the router and it's been even better than expected eliminating all dead spots for gaming, no lag extremely fast !!

I had intended on purchasing the RT-AX86U AX5700 Asus router but at the time BestBuy was out of it and I was in dire need of a new router since I had had enough of my older Netgear R7000 router bottlenecking my connection. This being the slightly smaller (in performance) version of the AX5700 and being in stock I bought it. Wish I had bought it sooner. After setting it up I immediately started seeing the speeds I had been paying for. Absolutely love the Asus app for the router. It is responsive and quick, unlike the laggy and slow log-in on my previous router. I have not done any testing in regards to the wireless aspect of it but I have not had an single issue with connectivity when I am gaming and I have 9 devices connected continuously. It has been money well spent.

I bought 2 of these to set up a mesh network using an ethernet connection. To do that requires the node router to be reset, which seems odd, but that is how it works. I tried the wireless smart connect, but I ran into trouble trying to connect various devices like my weather station; so went back to separate 2 and 5 Ghz. The roku did not see the 5Ghz channel since the control channel the router picked and what not what the roku was looking for. I did not bother to change the 5G for the roku. The samsung phones connected fine. The router has a lot of settings. It is a good feature that Asus provides a DNS server connection to for remote connection to security cameras. Some of the network analysis tools required sending router data to Trand Micro; I did not enable that.

Excellent WiFi, I have 400mbps at home, connecting directly thru hardwire from my provider I get only 250 - 400mbps, using WiFi or hardwire connections thru this router I end up getting 415 to 454 mbps... verygood off router, no complain so far

This router is one of the best right out of the box, I bought one for my house, then my parents was having freezing video with a net gear. Bought them this and it fixed their issues. Even though it says gaming router, it will work for anyone!

Our internet connection sporadically dropped throughout the day and we thought it was our ISP. After replacing our router with this Asus one we've had no further issues with connection loss and our speeds are much faster.

Great router! I had the Fios issued one, didn’t work with 1G internet, but this one does! Great speed and reliability! Can change the color on the display or have none at all. Easily connects to Mesh. Incredible wifi strength.

Wanted up upgrade from 4 yo router. This one is great. Coverage is excellent 30 ft from router no issues. Wireless speed is where it's at! Before I got 50mbps, now I get the full 250 I pay for!

Bought this thinking it was going to be like my nighthawk that I had which worked for like a week and than stopped working but honestly it’s been a month and couldn’t be happier

Excellent range, was a big improvement over ISP cylinder router. ASUS gui has lots of features, even the app can control most of it without have to log in from computer. Kids Love the colors.

It literally got the full speed of my wifi out of it. I was using netgear before this and it was garbage. Had me thinking it was my provider messing up my internet… it was their garbage router

Hands down this is the BEST router I have ever used. I’m a serious gamer and I hate lag. I have not had one incident since purchasing this monster. 11/10 would recommend.

ASUS products only have tech support for the "life" of the product; keep that in mind. I am rebooting this thing constantly and the app is... okay at best. Has a lot of bells and whistles but falls short on the basics.

I did not plan to buy this router. Now i am glad i did. This router is a big improvement over what i had. It works much better than I expected. It looks well designed and is a decent piece of eye candy. I am very pleased!

Ive had this router for a couple months now. So far it's obviously very much out performed my old Netgear Router. Love the features it comes with and the triband connection!

Finally no wifi issues! We’re using this to extend our wifi signal from the downstairs router and it works perfectly. No more low signal issues and dropping connection. The lighting is a nice touch too, my gamer fiancé likes it

Works really great. I have many items connected to it and they all work great. Love the LED future too. Super easy to set up and have a great app that goes along with it.

I was a little skeptical that this could meet our streaming needs but we haven’t had any issues! We have multiple Ring devices, IQ, 3 gaming consoles and computer with 3400sq ft to cover. I’m very happy with this purchase.

After quite a bit of research i decided this router met my needs and was the best value for the product. So far its meeting my expectations. I have a lot pf devices hooked up and ive been seeing excellent speeds.
