Customer Ratings & Reviews

The coverage and speeds of this router paired with a 2.5 gb modem are great! I get coverage throughout my whole house , 1,800 sq ft, and even outside in the back yard. Definitely recommend

Great range and speed. Much better than the last few routers I have used. Options to change the front colors are a nice addition. The app is extremely useful and easy to navigate.

This replaced an old ASUS RT-AC66U B1 which was first released way back in 2012. This router is a wifi 6 and boy what an upgrade. The old router would have problems in the farthest reaches of the house. 40 feet and two walls, one being concrete block. Range is no problem and I wished I would have switched sooner. Even though release date was about four years ago, this is still very good. The only thing missing is that ASUS seems to have stopped putting native VPN's in their routers.

This covers all the rooms in my 900 sq ft home without issues and has had no problems. Honestly it's a little overkill for my space but price was good and I didn't want issues with passing signal thru walls.. This delivers

The price is worth every penny. Set up was a sinch. It is an amazing upgrade from my last router, and quite pleased the speed. I’m not a gamer, but I do recognize this router as a definite upgrade.

This router is absolutely unreal! We have close to 70 networked devices in our home (tons of smart home devices/switches/bulbs, etc...) and multiple phones, tablets, laptops, consoles, gaming pc's...it's 2020, you get the idea. We. Have. Tech. TO THAT, we were previously using an Asus Blue Cave w/ an Asus AC1900 in the AI Mesh (with wired backhaul) network. That would work OK at best, with constant router vs ap conflictions, even after multiple complete resets (not reboots) of the whole network. After finally giving up and deciding to throw money at AX, I wanted to stay middle of the road for pricing and this Asus seems to have great reviews and be around $50-$100 less than comparable Netgear models. Again, we have 60-70 networked devices in our home, maybe 10 of them are wired (xbox ones, ps4, theater receiver, Apple TV...not much). The rest is all on the 2.4/5 wifi signal. This thing immediately picked every device up and we saw signal dB improvements across literally ALL devices. That's a singular AX router besting an AC 'mesh' network. I was very impressed. The web app is mostly lacking in UI but it's fine, everything is easy to adjust, it just looks very early 2000's. The mobile app, though, looks more polished. BUT, you get more options via the web portal. If they could combine the access of the web portal to the UI of the app, I'd easily give that side a 5/5. Right now its more than functional, just not very modern and could be confusing to folks not familiar with routers. The app, though, is probably all most will use and the basic features are well placed and named, so most won't have an issue. Setup is about 5-10 minutes tops, including an off the bat firmware update. We reused our old SSID as to not spend a day tracking down the 60+ devices to rejoin a new SSID, so that made the swap over a breeze. I can't say enough good stuff about this router. I was hesitant to jump into AX since we only have 1 laptop and 2 iPhones that support it, but it seems the added throughput across the bands assisted in giving our other devices better connection, even moving down to 1 router VS the 2 in mesh. Our house is around 2,000 sq.ft. with an over garage bonus room. We have this centrally located in the main living room on the first floor and almost all devices that are connecting are within 60' line of sight. I've not tested range outside the house yet, but again, even the cameras on the corners of our house have an excellent signal now, loading faster than before and almost no lag OR buffering. 10/10 would recommend if wanting to move to AX without breaking the bank.

After being impressed with a couple of Asus laptops I reviewed for BB's TIN program, I decided to give an Asus router a try. Especially since my 14 month old Netgear router I got at BB died just out of warranty. It was my second Netgear to die but the first one did work 4 years. After setting the Asus up and loggind the rest of my wifi gear into it, I was impressed with its performance. It wasn't dropping out all the time, much better coverage and faster speed too. It smoked the Netgear router it replaced! Until February 2021 of this year I had been stuck with Satellite internet since 2014 with a top download speed of about 15 mbps and 760+ ms ping times. Upload was often less than 1 mbps. It's a long trip to a geosynchronous orbit 25,22,236 miles above Earth's equator and then add some more distance depending on your location's latitude and longitude in relation to the satellite. Then the local power company, local internet provider via TDS offered 600mbps fiberoptic internet!! Oh yeah!! I don't think the Netgear router could handle it. In fact I think some of the problems I was having and blaming on satellite internet was the router. I been using this router for a few months now without any problems. I'm not going to list and quote every spec because that's covered in the info above. What I do want to say it that it was easy to set up and works great. There's an app to use on your phone to set it up and it will guide you though the steps. I think that it being designed for gamers is on of the things that gives it a speed edge and it's WiFi 6. So if you have newer gear that is WiFi 6 compatible you will get better coverage and speed performance. Being a gaming router it has RGB LED Aura lighting and looks like an alien scout ship or something. Pretty cool if you're into that but I wish there was a version that has the same guts but in a "normal" case at a lower price. It does look cool and kinda threatening! It's an attention getter!! Especially if you hang it from the ceiling or put it on a shelf up high like I did!! Looks like it's watching you!! The only issue I have had with it is not being able to select 5 ghz or 2.4 ghz band. The has kept me from setting up a couple of wifi devices that require my phone to be logged into the 2.4 ghz band. That may be something I'm doing wrong but I have been busy and not taken the time to research it and it's not been a big enough problem for me to make the time yet. This is the best WiFi router I have owned and I would highly recommend it.

Seems qorks great improvement over the other one . I can actually have coverage Quick shipping.

Perfect upgrade for a whole house wifi. The wifi has a stronger signal that covers my three story house without extenders. Excellent purchase.

I needed a new router since i upgraded my service and this was super easy to install and get running and it reaches my 500mbps speeds and the range is great

Good product, and easy to install except for adding a guest account. Somewhat confusing and instructions are not clear.

My home office network has grown a decent amount in the last two years. My previous ASUS router was being maxed out almost always with several work stations used simultaneously along with the kids gaming and websurfing/streaming. This new router has brought the bandwidth utilization down to about 1/4 of its capacity instead of almost 100% of the old one. Wifi coverage seems to be a bit stronger in the far ends of my home as well. Speeds are great and virtually zero lag when accessing my servers. Great investment that’ll keep me running efficiently for a couole more years! Highly recommended!

Works good, looks good, reasonably priced, no complaints!

Was my first time buying a router for my pc and it was so easy to set up run great 100% recommend

It gives good coverage around the house. The employee explained the qualities about the device.

Amazing product. My old nighthawk router stopped working so I replaced it with the nighthawk xr1000 even though it has mixed reviews. Xr1000 was okay, but some of my devices wouldnt connect. First night I kept losing my wired connection but wifi was strong. Connection was unreliable so I brought it back and got this Asus. I have had zero issues. Very happy with my purchase.

I got this to replace my Norton Core router which was discontinued and I’d say it’s fairly comparable in performance. This router is highly on other 3rd party reviewing sites, which led to my decision to purchase. Sleek and easy to set up—I was done in like 10 minutes. The lighted effects are cool but not as customizable as other LED products I use with some choices not having the option to change the color. I’m nitpicking because this is a $200+ router but as far as performance goes, it does great. I can play online with my PS4 and my laptop with no lag. Has good reach too. I was actually in my car at one point and still connected haha.

Easy to set up, has excellent coverage through my house. Compatible with my modem, and gives me very fast speeds on all my devices.

Solid connection, long range, easy to set up, looks really good in a room. No complaints.

Super easy install Good features and coverage. Easy software interface.
