    Purchased to replace faulty Linksys router. Setup/installation was a breeze. Range far surpasses my previous unit. Wife enjoys the signal strength as she is usually farthest away from the router and is pleased with the connectivity. Mostly used for streaming and surfing the web. Extremely pleased w purchase. Would recommend.

    This replaces an old Asus router that no longer received security updates. I've been using this brand for many years and like it. This one is in the group with the longest-dated security commitment on an Asus web page for the UK. After reading a Wikipedia article mentioning trust issues with Trend Micro software, I revoked consent for it to be used in the router, which works fine without those functions. It's nice to finally get WPA3. The router works well. I like the ease of use and flexibility of the browser-based user interface.

    Had an ASUS router before switching to a Netgear router about 5yrs ago. I was frustrated with the Netgear router constantly going offline and issues with the app. Luckily my Netgear router just stopped working, and I decided to go back to ASUS. I’ve had the new router for 20 days now. Easy setup, faster performance than previous router, no connection issues yet, and the app is much better than Netgear app. User friendly, connects almost immediately, and no lag time like Netgear’s app. Completely satisfied and happy I went back to ASUS.

    I bought a modem with this Router and both were very easy to set up and very dependable signal. Increased my internet speed considerably. I ended up returning this only because Comcast gave me a free Modem/Router when I upgraded my Internet plan.

    I replaced my older version of this router because it was compatible with the lightning strike at my house. This new version exceeded my expectations and very easy to set up. I highly recommend this router. It is being used with my Starlink.

    This is a great router. The signal is very strong throughout my whole house. It reaches to my garage with enough signal to use my TV and phone. Setup was very easy and quick. I am very happy with this product.

    Excellent ease of setup, reliable performance — with a couple of trade-offs (no 6GHz band, dual-band only). If you’re looking for a router that is “future-ready” without going all-in on the top tier, this is a very good pick.
