Do not buy. TRASH
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the worst router I’ve ever used in my life. It keeps dropping connection. Been back and forth with Spectrum trying to make it work and they even required my entire coaxial connection to the modem because I was convinced it was a problem on their side at first, but it turns out swapping my old router back in, the connection works fine. Unfortunately it is beyond the return period so I’m stuck with this trash router. Admittedly, it has a lot of features that are nice to have, but when the base functionality isn’t there, it’s worthless.

Awesome gaming router
|Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Blazing fast with my fiber internet. Getting over 4Gps down and up hardlined and up to 2Gps up and down on wifi 7. I highly recommend if you have the fiber internet connection to support the ultra fast speeds it can handle.

Spider in the room
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Time for an update and this was recommended. Very satisfied. Can run multiple devices without lag.
I would recommend this to a friend Best router in speed, coverage and stability
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best router I have ever owned, but it is designed for experienced users to set up. Once you set up the network and update the firmware, it’s necessary to perform a factory reset for optimal stability. After that, it works great for speed and coverage.
I would recommend this to a friendMixed results
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fast speeds close in but mixed results further away. Definitely worse signal strength at the far corners of my house than my previous asus router.

Nice
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit is really nice working really good and great connection
I would recommend this to a friend Great but pricey
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Faster speeds and better MLO connection than Eero routers, just a shame that the extra ports are only 1gb
I would recommend this to a friendElite home network
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works perfectly set up home guest wifi with fancy splash page to look cool infront of frends.
I would recommend this to a friendRouter
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the idea of controlling all devices connected to the network if you see a device connected you don't want it connected you can always disable it from your phone the only thing is that if you're out somewhere you can connect to the device that's the only thing I don't like about it other than that it's an okay device do I recommend it yes

Solid full coverage wireless router
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No issues to speak of. This replaced my existing wireless router. Figured I would “future-proof” myself with Wifi7. My old router was an Asus ROG and i just added it as a “mesh router” once configuring my new one. Ezpz.
I would recommend this to a friend 10 4
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have a big house and attached carriage house. This covers it well.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat if you have WiFi 7 devices
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good router, but unless you have devices with WiFi 7 capabilities it’s not worth the high costs. My failing WiFi 6 router had better signal quality at distance. So returned this and purchased the same WiFi 6 replacement.
I would recommend this to a friendWorks better than we expected
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So easy to use, so much power as soon as you turn on the machine. Picks up dust in all the hard to reach places. Glad i bought this one
I would recommend this to a friendGreat product.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great, coverage is excellent. I had to do a manual setup via browser on my phone. A computer would also work. The app wouldn’t ever finish the setup process for some reason.

slowly died over 6 months warranty is worthless.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Product died slowly needing to be restarted every so often to the point of 3 times a day. all lights showed working fine and yet nothing could connect to the router(wired or Wifi). I even reset the router to factory with no change. ASUS support is terrible so a 2 year warranty is worthless when the phone number on their site to call for router support has been disconnected. I have a 700.00 brick avoid this router and honestly avoid this company. If you have issues you're out of luck. I had a previous version of the wifi 5 version and it worked flawlessly. I guess i got lucky because i didn't need the warranty. I would not recommend this router to anyone.

Great all house coveray
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed something that had more range in the house and this was just perfect. The WiFi is super reliable and consistent for all my devices. Love it
I would recommend this to a friend Really wanted it to work.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This might be a great router, but I had issues getting it set up and the tech support is only available certain hours. When I was finally done trouble shooting several hours into it they offered to send me a new one or exchange it at Best Buy. They don’t have features behind a paywall and I’m sure it is a good product, but mine is getting returned.
