Have installed 2 of these in two different homes one as primary router and the 2nd as a mesh node. Networks are super stable and reliable. These are not the most powerful Asus routers but they are reliable. Very rarely need restarting and get advertised speeds on both a 300 and 500 internet connection. Have good range to cover over 3000 sq ft as a router/mesh setup. Many security and configuration settings via the web interface. Had a higher end AX-3000 router and had many issues with the 2.4ghz dropping signal. These do not have that issue and work as they should. Recommend

The app is really simple to mesh numerous Asus routers together. I'm indifferent on brands. I'm pretty sure I bought a Asus AX58 router in a retail store and eventually as I've encountered dead zones at home, I grab one of these when they go on sale and hit the add button in the phone app. I've tested it streaming to a VR headset in the same room as this router and a desktop. Stream effectively lossless video over. I have one of these a floor lower connected to a mini-pc and a TV, no noticeable latency or artifacting streaming over the local network. I also work from home and instead of dealing with flash drives, I cable all my computers to routers and transfer over the network. So much faster. WebDAV or Samba to transfer files to/from phones. Someday I'd like to run cat6 through the walls with ports all over the place like I'm in office at work. That's a future dream. For now a bunch of meshed routers works well for me.

We have had over 10 different techs out to our place over the past year to troubleshoot poor connectivity. They've done everything from managing the box outside, ripping out and replacing cables in the walls and attic, swapping the router/modem several times and nothing consistently helped. Finally caved and bought my own router. The difference has been night and day. No packet loss, no random disconnections despite the modem having internet access, no getting interrupted in the middle of online exams..... It's been awesome. And with the money saved from renting a router, this thing pays for itself in 10 months. Easy decision. The setup was quick and easy but you do have to install their app. The interface was fine on the app and everything was easy to navigate. I looked around for a while before settling on this one and it works great.

Controls will intimidate the user that thinks "everything" is WiFi. But they are the controls a high-end user needs. Note that it does NOT have a USB port for a flash drive. It DOES have SSH access, but limited NV space, and most of the storage is read-only of non-persistent across reboots. This of course is only relevant to the very high-end user. Edit: Router is working great. Best 5GHz indoor range I've seen. OpenVPN Client to CloudConnexa was painless - from the ASUS side (CloudConnexa itself needs major documentation help). ASUS could better document some of the settings and how they affect things. Notably, ensure the "Enable WAN down browser redirect notice" setting is "NO". Otherwise, when the modem is sick, you will be blocked from accessing the modem's web controls.

I've been looking everywhere for a router that allows me to disable or configure IPV6 firewalls so that I can host a website behind it. I tried the default Spectrum one and a custom T-LINK one, and neither of them supported this feature. Asus does and I'm super happy with the product. Affordable and it does the job.

I now have 2 of these dudes (1 I bought a while ago, and 1 more I recently bought to expand WiFi range). Easy setup, standard features. Speeds are always solid. Added a 2nd one to increase my WiFi area. Added to the AiMesh with the first router insanely easily.

It works good when it works. Using two of these with one in AP mode you might as well flip a coin on if it's gonna connect right. Randomly devices will not have Internet access while other will. Sometimes it'll cause your devices to forget the WiFi and you'll have to reenter the password. There's no time or reason to it. It'll work for days not problem then pick a device at random to wipe or not give internet to. This is without adjusting default settings at all beyond setting a name and password that's the same for both routers and selecting the "AP" option for one of them. I believe this is a failure of whichever router acts as the main router as the problem persists when I used an older Asus router as AP. The older Asus router I used for this same setup had none of these issues. Unfortunately they don't make that version anymore and now I'm stuck with these newer models that can't seem to work as well. Update. The router has constant connection drops. It will disconnect all wifi devices and refuse to reconnect until rebooted. The need to reboot becomes and more frequent over time. The router has been in operation less than 6 months. I have used Asus routers for many years now but this will be the last one I ever own from them.

This product will increase the speed of devices that are connected to it compared to older models. You must use the TP link app to set it up properly. Best thing is that you can get help from a live support person who will walk you through the process step by step. Once connected properly you will have full control of your devices that are paired to this WiFi modem using the app to monitor or make changes in the future. Extremely satisfied with the product.

Bonjour, Je tiens à dire en premier lieu que le produit est d'excellente facture et permet de s'adapter à une multitude de configuration, sauf à la mienne et à tout ceux qui veulent se connecter via se routeur au réseau Mesh NordVpn ( a ne pas confondre avec le système Mesh de Asus qui lui est fonctionnel) . Si vous voulez utiliser seulement la protection NordVpn derrière ce routeur cela fonctionne sans problème après l'avoir paramétrée. La protection NordVpn activé sur ce routeur ne permet pas d'intégrer ce routeur au réseau Mesh NordVpn lié à votre compte ... Donc ce routeur reste invisible dans le réseau Mesh NordVpn de votre compte et reste donc inaccessible pour un accès distant. Pour finir, certain PC portable comme Mon HP EliteBook 840 ne peuvent pas se connecter au nouveau Wifi de ce routeur !!! De ce fait, Retour à l'expéditeur... NB: en cas de refus de publication AMAZON, merci de préciser CLAIREMENT le motif... Cdlt

I’m quite happy with this ASUS router as I’ve used other products from them for years and have never had any issues. I loved that it updates its software settings and that you can even control the led brightness. It is pretty good for a medium size home. I would definitely recommend this product! :)
