Not a single connection issue with the WAN for 1 week straight

It freezes constanly and looses connection to wifi, and I have to reboot the modem very often to acquire internet wifi connection

I have a 4000 sq ft house and there is good connection everywhere

I have the router wired into my PS4 and it’s still good connection without the wired connection

Enabling Any of these combinations causes all wired and wireless devices to lose connection to the internet

Walking around my property outside the house I maintain a consistent connection with the router it is simply amazing that this is coming from one router compared with my old hodgepodge setup of a router, access point and another powerline WiFi access point in the mix

2.4GHZ n channel gets me a connection 6 times faster.

By disabling smart connection you will choose which band to connect to at all time, such as 5Ghz if it's within range at all times, or you can connect to 2.4 Ghz at all times which is suffiecient for gaming, youtube-ing, etc.

I think I'll have to go back to my RT-AC3200, steady connection through VPN.Disappointed​ and frustrated.

The hub portion continues to work for locally connected machines but no connection outside the hub.

You never really get a good idea of what is currently connected to your router because devices intermittently come and go from the network map...frustrating...although the devices don't actually seem to lose connection.

2nd day after applying the update was still having issues keeping a stable connection.

at other times it would lose its internet connection

I have a unlimited internet connection but its still interesting to check out, and should be very useful for people that do have data caps

The hardware doesn't provide consistent connection and operation, and the software cannot tell me what devices are connected (

Wifi radios work sporadically, esp 2.4 connection.

An automatic firmware update caused our Asus laptop to have intermittent connection issues with this router.

Good for streaming wifi with a strong incoming internet connection and proper modem.

First the 2.4GHz band lost all connection to the internet or the router itself

I cannot get a consistent connection between my devices on my home network

you have a strong internet connection and you are looking for a best speed - DON't Buy this

-Wifi signal drops for a split second for a client who's far enough for the router to switch them from 5Ghz to 2.4GhzThis problem can be fixed by disabling smart connection (automatic change to wifi band based on distance, 5Ghz has small range so when you go abit further the router automatically switches to 2.4Ghz and for the switch gap -a split

Second issue, there are options to select within the firmware if you plan on gaming so that you have less lag and a faster connection; a great feature.

Keeping that 4k streaming you want a dependable connection

2.4G connections failed at 10 months

All connections are flawless in a 2,400 square feet home if properly installed in a right place

It just drops connections left right and center.

After I had a secure connection, I turned on my computer

However, it can't keep a stable connection, we have to connect/re-connect our devices all the time.

This thing replaced a Linksys router that I purchased about 18 months ago (I was getting tired of having to power-cycle the old Linksys router every few days because some devices would lose connection and couldn't reconnect

the GT-AC5300 solves my specific issue of having a pure high-band gaming connection

Initially, the wireless connection would work for a while, then disappears again

Game room upstairs (with no doors in-between the router and the devices) had spotty connection and slow speeds.

This wasn't an issue with the previous firmware, but now the printer can't join the 2.4Ghz (claims success...gets no IP from DHCP and falls back to a local-link address) but the router's client table claims it's NOT on the wireless ANYWHERE...so it actually silently fails Wifi connection

This router replaced a Netgear Nighthawk x6 r8000, besides this router being night and day faster paired with this WiFi Adapter, the connection was quite a bit more stable

I bought this router (RT-AC88U) to replace an Asus RT-AC68U. Main reasons were to get greater signal range and stronger connection for WiFi calling on my cell phone

It is packed with many features and performs just great -- fast connection speeds & stability!A nice feature is that there are 8 (!

Super fast connection on 5ghz with simultaneous 2ghz support for older devices

my connection is very fast and reliable

I aint lose connection yet 🙄

The physical connections work fine but the wireless is useless.

Called customer support, but the connection was poor--also their "wtfast client" is beta and only connects to a few PC games--no Xbox or Ps4 consoles

now i am constantly resetting due to lost connection

If, say, the child is watching a movie on Netflix, and I have the WiFi set to turn off for that child's computer, it doesn't actually shut off their connection; any active connection that is already open will stay active until the browser page is refreshed or the connection is somehow otherwise interrupted

I purchased this in hopes that it would give me better coverage and faster connection

2.4 gig band drops all connections every 15 to 20 min and refused to let devices connect again even after rebooting the device or router.

What is worse, I could not get a stable 2.4 connection on most of my devices

The connection is steady, it definitely improved my internet speed as my old router was just a manufacturer router from the ISP which was terrible

The most important feature, it is realy realy fast connection

So in order to print on my Canon InkJet or my Brother Laser, I have to power cycle them before each print job to refresh their WiFi connections

Ridiculously fast connection.

2nd day after applying the update was still having issues keeping a stable connection.

Great, haven't lost connection like my old router.

The actual connection was fine, it simply directed into a black hole

Great range, blazing fast connection, immensely feature rich

With the old box, I would be getting 55/60 db level signal and a connection stable as a rock

My son can go across the street and still have an awesome connection to our router

I set up an OpenVPN server for tunneling into my home network when away and an OpenVPN client for selected outgoing secure connections

My final straw was when he was asking me to look at available WiFi connections and to look for a particular one

I worked great the first three months, now I can't get a connection.

i get about 15 feet before I lose connection.

However, the problem it has, at least with the unit I received, is that the wireless connection is great while it works

Our household has multiple network clients, including security cameras, home automation devices, smart thermostats, etc., plus I work from home quite frequently and need a reliable connection

When it did work the connection would often drop

I hope you don't want to back up your computer wirelessly, because this router will just randomly lose connection during a backup

Just plugging this baby in boosted the performance of my wife's Ipad Air - she used to have a very slow connection

Nice router, super fast, reliable connection

The AC2900 tackles all workload I have with a more reliable connection with higher download and upload with QOS active.

It manages to reach the connection around 130ft (40m) to my backyard (naturally *much* slower connection, but it works), and keeps the wifi internet speed 70-100 throughout the house.

What a awesome unit which supports remarkable internal access, 8 lan ports supporting giga bit, good appearance makes your living room more valuable exclusive wireless internet connection

Although they recommend a "hard connection", I used the wifi connection

I was able to get the HP to connect for about 30 seconds before the connection was lost

Around the 6 month mark, things started acting up, the connection would be slow, drop random devices at random times

We have wanted a better connection upstairs for years.

So far very dependable connections

Have had really good WiFi connections and works like a champ.

But you have caused the antenna to loose the connection to the router because it has lost it's connection inside on the board

My ring doorbell used to work perfect with all the alerts to my phone and live video.. now no connection.. and my printer

Speedy connection

Some devices are connected at random times, some devices don't get a good connection and sometimes the router itself crashes

My connection was super fast and rock solid for almost 2 years and then suddenly these issues cropped up.

I selected the smart connection, which enables a single SSID for all three bands

Coverage in my apartment is definitely better and connections are faster

and wow... greatly increased network throughput and very stable and reliable connections

I kept losing connection over night and sometimes in the middle of the day

Bought the router and set it up, wired connections seemed to work ok but the wireless connection refused to connect to devices even resetting the devices and re-establishing the wiress connect

Some devices are connected at random times, some devices don't get a good connection and sometimes the router itself crashes

I only had one bad connection over a 3 hour gaming session and it was completely playable

On top of that, my wife needed a stable connection for her work, and it was dropping out, all the time.

And at the prices you can get it for today, it's a great value if you care at all about having a good network connection in your home without having to go to the effort of connecting multiple devices to get the benefits of one of these out of the box.

The connection is excellent

Very fast and easy to configure and like the ability to setup the smart connection and the router decides what band will be the best to have a device connect to.

It manages to reach the connection around 130ft (40m) to my backyard (naturally *much* slower connection, but it works), and keeps the wifi internet speed 70-100 throughout the house.

Then all a sudden the 2.4GHZ connection stopped working

One issue I have with it is when I have my SSID's hidden, it is almost impossible to connect new devices and already connected devices will lose connection and refuse to reconnect to the same SSID

My wireless clients had difficulty maintaining connection with the router.

Right after the new firmware was released and installed, I started to lose network connections

n’t go wrong with this router

n’t had not one issue at all

, i so mad dont even want to replace it
