I needed better coverage,

Better coverage than an R7000, and the firewall software informed me of a PC with malware!

It's the monster of the routers and has a great coverage

Added 2 more of the other routers for half the cost and got great mesh coverage.

- This thing does have great coverage

Great wifi coverage, more than enough processing and memory for most users

One router provided (top floor) more than enough coverage for a two story + basement extending detached garage 62 feet away and front sidewalk at 27 feet.

Great WiFi coverage, much improved over the RT-N66U that I used previously

Truly awesome coverage, extremely easy to set up!!

Working well so far, seems to have better coverage compared to old router.

Linksys!)ASUS RT-AC3200 was a medium-priced choice and gives excellent speed and coverage throughout my small, single-level home.

Coverage is seamless.

I'm using this as an additional access point (AP mode), and the coverage is phenomenal

I was hoping this would boost coverage, but it is a no go.

Wonderful Router, great coverage, easy to set up

I was looking for a router that could provide better coverage for a larger home as well as some security features and parental controls

Good coverage, expensive

The dual band WiFi works great with outstanding coverage in my 3764 sqft house.

great coverage through out the house

Excellent coverage.

I don't recommend it, coverage is not good enough.

It's really fast and its wireless coverage is exceptional

Great unit, unbelievable wifi coverage.

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

The range is great - I get good wireless coverage throughout my home and well into the back yard too.

Love this router, finally have coverage in the entire apartment

Improved coverage throughout my house.

Works very well, great speed and coverage, used as main with RT_AC68 for Aimesh

Excellent speed and coverage.

and I was able to get great speeds and coverage all over the

The coverage was not any better than my R7000.

The wireless coverage and speed were very good.

Signal coverage appears great, I don't live in a large house

Wireless coverage is superb and we are finally getting download and upload speeds we have been paying for but never enjoyed

Amazing coverage every corner of my 20,000 SQFT house.

Great value product, easy to install and use, exceptional coverage, and great customer service

Fast, good coverage in house and up to distance checked outside (50 feet)

Provides great coverage everywhere and is easy to setup and manage.

Coverage is spotty when it works

This one has the best coverage of any router I’ve ever

I purchased the AC88U to replace a 5 year old Asus AC66U. After setting up the AC88U, the one thing I immediately noticed was the excellent 2.4GHz Wi-Fi coverage.

Coverage in our two story home has been great

Great Coverage - Purchased the RT-AC88U Router to upgrade from old

Wi-Fi coverage (even better than Ubiquiti Networks commercial-grade access points)Fantastic firmware with plenty of optionsCons:A very large box with lots of antennas sticking out

Excellent coverage and speed.

The coverage is excellent and connected speeds are excellent on both floors and even in the garage

Coverage and speed are excellent.

Coverage is great throughout the neighborhood and this thing is loaded with features and options.

Coverage is spotty when it works

Excellent coverage signal very strong much better than my previous router and looks very modern

Now my coverage is a little better but, not great.

The coverage for ASUS is much stronger than my FIOS router.

I can now get great coverage in my detached garage or anywhere on my two acre plot

Went outside to my detached garage and still acquired great coverage

But this thing's coverage is insane

The Netgear router I had before this one had better coverage

Works as advertised, extremely fast, whole house coverage in a 2200sqft rambler and good coverage outside in all outbuildings within 200ft

Good Wifi coverage and speed, whats more to want?

That said, this router works wonderfully, and has great coverage.

Fast, good house coverage

I don't recommend it, coverage is not good enough.

-AC66R.This new router along with ATT Gigabit Fiber I am getting blazing speeds and awesome coverage.

On my old AC66U, I had installed the Asus WL-ANT-157 antennas to boost coverage and those didn't provide the coverage that the AC88U does

Good coverage, expensive

This router replaced a Apple Airport Extreme and has much better coverage range than I hoped for.

Excellent coverage and performance.

They are extremely easy to setup and offer great coverage and excellent speeds

Good area coverage

Coverage wise, as good as Archer C9

Then did some research on what could be modified to optimize the router and provide the best coverage/service

Very easy to program and great coverage

The 2.4 GHz frequency reaches my entire yard with good coverage.

Went from a Linksys EA9500 to this since the Linksys' coverage was spotty

Router has great coverage and speeds.

Covers the entire house area, unlike the previous routers got a good coverage and high power signal all around

The wireless capability provides coverage throughout our two story house.

No reliability problems, coverage is amazing, and its loaded with lots of useful and neat features

I thought with as many good reviews and my previous good experience with ASUS products that this would help improve our wireless coverage with over 20 wireless devices in our household.

Wireless coverages is excellent.

The coverage is great when it works, no issues.

The Asus AC2900 is almost as fast, excellent coverage

Provides great coverage throughout the home, no dropped signals and super fast.

Having said that, I ended up not needing a Mesh as this router by itself has great coverage for my home.

Initially I was pretty happy with the router (signal was reliable, speed was consistent, good coverage throughout the home, etc.).However, after upgrading to Windows 10, I'm unable to use my VPN connection to access my work network

(and I seem to be on a never-ending quest for better coverage) but it’s giant honking gorilla of a thing.

Fantastic coverage, works great inside two story with basement, and even in the back yard.

Fantastic coverage, works great inside two story with basement, and even in the back yard.

This router solved those and we now have great coverage outside.

The coverage is great when it works, no issues.

Great coverage across my house and beyond

It also claimed a 5000sq feet coverage radius, but I got no better coverage than my cheap carrier provided wireless router

It has great range, great coverage through walls, great interface online, great support, great heat dispersion, great bandwidth retention... but I have then bought a Ethernet cable and only used this box for my phone ever since.

No reliability problems, coverage is amazing, and its loaded with lots of useful and neat features

If you want the most powerful WiFi coverage get this.

Anyhow, the farther coverage sounds great and should be a slam dunk for my house which is 1/2 the quoted square footage.

If you want a great router with exceptionally long, CONSISTENT coverage and can afford it, pick this up.

Have good coverage on the 5 gig channel over our entire 2 acre property, even inside out buildings.

Greatly improved my wifi coverage over my old unit I've have for almost 15 years

It has great range, great coverage through walls, great interface online, great support, great heat dispersion, great bandwidth retention... but I have then bought a Ethernet cable and only used this box for my phone ever since.

Good coverage for a 3000 sf two story house; even at 5GB

Very frustrating as I'm technology literate and have used an earlier model with similar firmware.

They will not give you a refund for the unit and will continue to send you a refurbished unit that is very likely to break as it seems these are hit or miss on hardware issues

Works as it is supposed to

The downside is that file transfers for my laptop to my multi homed NAS box (an 8 by Synology with network teaming) isn't as fast as with the Google OnHub that I pulled out to test this.

Using the smart connect rules, I was able to get the router to stabilize as long as I kept everything from connecting to the 5Ghz-1 (Lower) channel.

QoS and bandwidth manager works as it should

I'm really bummed as I was excited about this router and have had nothing but good things to say about ASUS from my experience with my old router

I asked for a warranty replacement instead because I have no other router, but they have to escalate it up and get it approved as that is not standard procedure

I've had high hopes of one day it may just start working as it should considering what I've paid for it

We have multiple clients attached, our labtop can finally work as it was designed

The 2.4G covered most of my house and the 5G covered much of it as well.

Love the features and the strong 2.4G signal

Normally this wouldn't be such a big deal but with media servers, TVs, AV receivers, security cameras, etc... relying on a stable 5g network, it's completely unacceptable

The 5G network worked only for 30 days but since then, it has not work

5G was working for me for a few

First the 5G failed, then the 2.4 the next day.

The 2.4G works

I have tried firmware upgrades, read all of the forums, worked with Asus support and cannot get the 2.4g band to work.

2.4G worked fine

Just like all the others 2g works fine

The 5G network worked only for 30 days but since then, it has not work

The 5g is fine.

Like the rest who are advanced users of networking equipment no matter what I've tried (thermal, firmware, bandwidth, location, control channel, etc) the 5g continues to drop while the 2g is rock solid

ac3100’s 5g network was gone and 2.4g became super slow, < 6Mbps down

However, yesterday the 5G radio failed so it's

Like a lot of other users - the 2.4G radio failed early

The 2G signal strength is amazing even with my metal roof, the 5G works great indoors but not so great a few feet outside.

I'm sure the tester turned it on and saw the 5g worked fine and then boxed it up and sent it back vs. reading what I had wrote and properly tested it for a straight period of over 4 hours

Got this router months ago after reading so many good things abt it, the signal really goes far way, control dashboard has so many functions, HOWEVER 5G band is very very unstable, it keeps playing on/ off line every hour, so if you are looking for a rock stable 5G band go for Netgear or Cisco.
