Great router. I’ve had this for over 6 months and have had no issues with range or buffering

Awesome router. I do recommend it especially if you wanna check traffic on your network. Has good features within the router software. Range is Xcellent no problems. If learn to use the software & know about basic networking you should have no trouble setting it up it's Ez.

Love it! It's an upgrade to my RT-AC86U that I placed at the other end of my house as an AI Mesh node for better coverage. Now I have dual Internet connections with a primary 1Gbps and a hot standby 100Gbps, a guest network, and WiFi6 support.

I bought this to replace an apple extreme router. And this was cery easy to set up. I am not great with network setup but this was very easy to go in get my new network up and running. It has a lot of setting for customization its worth the money .

I’ve had this router for a while now. As a big homelab tech guy, it functions well, does everything I need it to, and handles load very well. The range on the router for WiFi is also very good.

I have seen nothing but great reviews on this product and I'm adding yet another great review! Love the design and the functionality. I have T-mobile internet at the moment and the speed are so un reliable but this router is making it bearable! I can't wait ti get it connected to my new spectrum service!

Coming from an eero mesh system to this and im impressed. Provides many of the things eero maked you pay for and the coverage is as good from this one unit as it was on a unit+ sattelite with the eero. Plus it looks amazing.

One of the best router I ever own. The price was fair, and for $200 bucks, you get a very reliable and fast router. I like the mesh feature where I can link multiple Asus router throughout my house.

Great product with great coverage within range, but unfortunately not too great without a mesh at my house specifically. The app was also great where you have the ability to see everything going on in your network.

Honestly really amazed by how well this router works. I used to use a Google Mesh system and was pretty happy with the results I was getting. It was a few years old now and I knew it was time for an upgrade. It wasn't a Wifi6 system, so I was really excited to try out this router. Once I set it up and adjusted my settings, I was shocked. In my living room, I was receiving about 125 mbps with my old mesh system. With this router alone, I'm getting over 500 mbps!! The router is located in the office which is a room over, but its amazing it's about to reach that far! We also live in a smallish apartment ~900sq ft just to put it into perspective. Super excited to have this router in our home for the next couple of years!

First of all It is very easy to use. And you can use dual Wi-fi , game play mode . If you want to play game I recommend it.

Amazing and great coverage for our average 2-bed apartment! App is convenient to use and have not had a single problem since purchase.

I have been using Eero and Netgear Orbi mesh routers for years and they have been working, but if you need granularity and control over setting up your network, the Asus AiMesh system cannot be beat. The main wifi on my network is through the Asus ZenWifi ET12 system which is phenomenal. I purchased this to wirelessly bridge from those to my Apple TV, gaming system and a few other devices. I'm getting speeds over 800mb/s to my devices with this acting in bridge mode with very low latency. All that being said, it does take some knowledge of how you want to use your devices and if I wanted to extend my wireless with this, the speeds would be slightly slower than just the wireless to wired bridge because it would need to use part of the wireless bandwidth to rebroadcast rather than dedicated communication only with my main router. I have no doubt this would also be a solid router, the Asus WRT software is phenomenal and the capabilities with VPN including openVPN, Wireguard and others is outstanding.

Excellent router for the money. Replaced my old Netgear XR500 with this, and it has better range on top of being able to handle 5 people's devices connected at a once over 3 floors. Do make sure to update the firmware after you unbox it before making judgement. When the router was freshly out of the box, my desktop PC had atrocious download speeds over ethernet until I updated the firmware on the router.

Love it, I can use a USB external hard drive as a cloud drive and the the speed is great. It also looks really cool.

if I need it again in the future, I'll totally buy it again. The wireless performance is just as good as if I had the Ethernet cable plugged in, even over 300mg. And the range is perfect for my outdoor ring cameras.

My last router was an ASUS RT-ARCH13. I used OpenVPN on it with TAP mode so I could access my home network remotely (remote desktop). I decided to upgrade the router because it's over 8 years old. Unfortunately, when I set up the OpenVPN (one of the built-in VPNs in the ASUS settings), it crashes every single time a client tries to make a connection. I've tried changes settings, yet it persists and I have duplicated the issue too even after exchanging for a new one. This was unacceptable to me because that VPN was one of the factors of purchasing it. While not everyone uses the feature, and it won't affect the majority of users, it is just a feature that is broken and yet to be fixed by ASUS as evident by online forums of multiple people having the same problem with THIS specific model. I have an ASUS RT-AX56U at my office, and the VPN on that never had any issues, so I will likely just get another one of that model for home use. Such a shame considering the strength of the WiFi is excellent, the design is cool, and the six ethernet ports of the AX86U model.

Easy to set up. Great and simple user interface. Like all the asus routers. Recently upgrade from a asus RT-AC68U. It has served it's time. A little pricey for what it is, but I do feel better about buying something newer.Range seemed to have shortened by one bar toward the back of the house but it seems fine.

was a huge upgrade from my last router that kept dropping connection

Great product. A little call to support and was up and running
