    Setup was quick and simple. I replaced another ASUS router which had stopped functioning properly, and this one worked within the first couple of minutes of being placed.

    Since acquiring the ASUS AX5700 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Router, I have experienced significantly improved performance with faster response times, even with multiple Wi-Fi devices connected in our home. This has proven to be an excellent investment, and I highly recommend this router.

    Not suitable for TMHI (T-Mobile Home Internet

    I was hoping to have guest WiFi that did not share my computer internet. I was hoping to get QOS and shaping for better performance. Unfortunately with T-Mobile Home Internet (TMHI) this only works as an access point. So why 2 stars instead of one? The response from the support was good. Unfortunately the info they had was only bad news -- that I should put my gateway into bridge mode. My gateway will not do that. But that should not have been a problem -- just double-nat. The performance hit would be minimal. But this would not work that way. I bought an older Netgear that is doing that for me now, but it lacks some of the features that I should have gotten from the ASUS.

      Dear ThomasT,


      Thank you for your comment.


      We certainly understand your disappointment with the router and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are having issues setting up the router with T-Mobile Home Internet. This router does work with T-Mobile Home Internet as the main router, not only as an access point. To set it up, you need to disable the routing functions of the T-Mobile gateway. This router supports multiple SSID and you can setup a separate SSID for guest. You can configure QOS and for helpful tips please visit our Product Support page at:  https://www.asus.com/us/support/faq/1013333/ . Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at [email protected] and I would be more than happy to help. Or, you are most welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent from the link: https://www.asus.com/us/support/article/1135/.

      Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.

      Regards,

      Rodel

    Good product. Speed is much faster than my old router. Only complaint is that the range is a little limited. My previous nighthawk router had greater distance but this is lightning fast and adding more devices doesn’t bog it down.

    Router works well however the coverage is not the greatest. I have the unit centrally located upstairs in my home which is 2200 square feet. Coverage in other rooms can be spotty and sometimes very weak. My suggestion would be that this router would work well in single story homes under the mfg. square footage size and utilize a more powerful router in larger or two story or greater homes.
