    Basic, enough for a casual person

    Asus is a great company to get a router from, and this router is no exception. Wireless N, and 2.4G are both outdated technologies, but are good enough if you want to go for something cheap and need a wifi connection. The router has a great control panel with a bunch of settings, and makes it a great value for the price. If you can afford it though, you should consider something a little more expensive, with at least Dual Band 2.4G and 5G signals for the best coverage possible. Unfortunately it wasn't what I thought I was ordering at first, so I returned it. Doesn't change that the product was fine though.

    Very limited range, as expected for the price. Works ok but not fast.

    I needed this in additional to my normal router so that I'd have one with a dedicated 2.4GHz band (no 5G). My smart devices (outlets, lamp, door lock, etc.) would not connect to the 2.4GHz side of my normal router since it has both 2.4 & 5GHz. Works great.

    This may work with light duty use but streaming TV and 3 other computers it died and slowed down to 3mps. Had to wait for it to cool down for speed to increase.

      Dear Valued Customer,

      I'm truly sorry to hear that the router is unable to handle traffic. This must be frustrating, are you using it as a repeater? Repeaters are network devices operating at the physical layer of the OSI model that amplify or regenerate an incoming signal before retransmitting it but once there is huge amount of traffic on the network, each device will be affected.

      Another factor that can affect the performance is RF interference.

      Please ensure that you meet the requirements below:

      Place the wireless router at the center of area for the maximum wireless coverage for all network devices.

      Keep router device away from metal obstructions and direct sunlight.

      Keep router away from Wi-Fi devices with 802.11g or 20MHz only, 2.4GHz computer peripherals, Bluetooth devices, cordless phones, transmitters, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators, and other industrial equipment to prevent signal interference or loss.

      If you need further technical assistance, feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] and provide this link for reference. I'm here to help you and all others with these issues, as our customer loyalty department is dedicated to bringing a resolution to all issues related to our products.

      Thank you for choosing ASUS!
