    The speeds and range on router are very mediocre. More importantly, it runs so hot. When I first picked it up, I thought it was overheating and it probably was, since my wifi speeds dropped. Stay away from this router at all costs.

    5ghz signal cuts out randomly

    Legitimate trash, possibly the worst router I've ever used. Currently switched back to my last netgear router which only works at about 75% speed of the Asus one. On setup it broke all my Samba shares and my Phillips Hue system requiring me to reconfigure each. The 5ghz signal cuts out randomly and the 2.5ghz is painfully slow. After googling it, it seems this has been a problem for years with Asus' firmware. Flashing third party software (Merlin) fixes the issues on supported routers, but this one isn't supported. Avoid.

    Unfortunately, my highly dependable TP Link A10 router died today, and with a router being an urgent need I decided to run to Best Buy to purchase a new one. I thought I was making a good move by purchasing this Wifi 7 router, but I was very wrong. I spent nearly 6 hours today trying to troubleshoot why my PC would not connect to it. Most of my other devices did, but not my PC. I got it to connect a few times only to have it drop connections. At one point it even dropped connections across all my devices and had to be rebooted. All of this within 1 day… This thing was WAY too much of a hassle. Avoid it and go with a dependable router brand instead.

      Dear Ryan,

      Thank you for your comment.

      We do understand your disappointment with this router and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are experiencing 5GHz crashes while downloading games and playing online. To resolve this issue, place the router in the center of the area you want to cover,

      avoid placing the router near metal objects, electronic devices or direct sunlight, position the router on a flat, hard surface and halfway between the floor and ceiling. Additionally, dense building materials, such as gypsum, concrete walls and planks can affect Wi-Fi signal penetration. Check if your internet service is stable or working properly, ensure your PC or device WIFI driver is up to date, try to disable Smart Connect and set the channel bandwidth to 5GHz band. Additionally, we recommend updating the Mesh router firmware if it is running with an older version. Firmware is available for download at:  https://www.asus.com/networking-iot-servers/wifi-routers/asus-wifi-routers/rt-be3600/helpdesk_bios?model2Name=RT-BE3600. 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.
