    My old Asus router died suddenly. This new one is noticeably faster. I hope the new router lasts a long time.

    I didn't want to write a review before I really tested this unit, but I have tested it now for about 4 months. This unit is a beast. It provides you with multiple tools to monitor, restrict, adjust what it allows to go through it. Has parental controls, ability to form a mesh with an older router if you want to upgrade your unit now. Great value for the price. Would definitely buy again

    Fantastic Current Generation Router

    Purchased this new router to replace an old gaming router from 2017 that did not have the current generation of signals nor the most current updates. Installation was straightforward and the only hiccup I had was one day all my wireless SSID's were completely removed after a restart and changed to 1 which required a complete wipe and reconfiguration.

    Best wireless router I’ve owned tk date aside from the old apple wireless routers but ohh well. This one was simple to set up with the app and everything. My speeds honestly went from 116mbps for download to 356mbps and that’s just from the wireless router. The app is really easy to use as well.
