Provides much better connectivity and speed compared to the router I replaced

However, I noted that my laptop often would connect to the 2.4ghz frequency which then limited the speeds to 50mbs

"faster" speeds over WiFi is through the processors on board these wireless routers.

All devices which need to communicate must run at the slowest speed among them.

Speed has been a considerable improvement over the previous Comcast-provided router

Easy setup and fast speeds

: when it worked, it was fast and improved my wireless internet speeds (around 120mbps)

There are times you can have bit slower speeds which doesn't mean you have any issues on your end

The remaining HDDs are inaccessible.- WiFi speed is very slow

Outstanding router, dual-band is fantastic, easy to configure and the speed and range are excellent.

Fast speed with unstable firmware

Wifi range is huge, no speed lost or network disconnections, great app with a lot of functionalities

It defeated its purpose of only using the ethernet because I was searching for better wireless speeds

Of course I get to hard-wired with many devices and probably get better speed

I am getting a solid speed of 53 down and 11 up

The speeds are amazing throughout the house and to date no amount of connected devices slow it down

But the slower network file transfer speeds, and the inability to actually enumerate nodes on the network via names rather than just IP's, makes this far less usable than they'd like you to think it is...

I'm not really much of a gamer, and i don't have a huge mansion of a house, so all the "blazing fast" speeds and amazing range of coverage isn't really high on my priority list

Worked better than expected with faster speed and longer distance.

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

Speed is actually slower than my Netgear Nighthawk X6.... it does make up for it in coverage, but not much at all

This router replaced my 9yr old router and the speed is unbelievable

Once you do get this working, the speeds are great and the function is solid

The best router I've ever gotten, boosted the range and the speed at my place

Worked for about a year, then would get slow speeds, disconnect clients, and lose network connectivity (even to LAN clients) after running for a couple hours

It improved my wireless speed by over 100mb/s

after a long timeline of a few days of buying a new modem from my ISP because i upgraded my internet previously and my old modem didnt support the new speeds, and got a new modem i still problems with super erratic download speeds

Can't even use the 5GHZ channel because the speeds are so slow.

But the speed is astounding.

Speed is very respectable

Plenty of settings internally, and I get good speeds thoughout my house.

2.4Ghz kinda sucks the speed is very erratic and unreliable

The speed and range of this router are phenomenally better than any of the other router's I have had

The bandwidth limiter feature is very nice, I can limit the internet speed of an individual device so that it doesn't hog all the bandwidth.

When things are connected, it works great and speeds are good, just can't get everything to connect as I could before.

And when they don't fail, I have been experiencing horrible speeds

Router has great coverage and speeds.

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

long story short the QOS (quality of service) thing in the router settings was freezing up my true internet speeds to do the complete opposite of what it claims

Listen, I would recommend this to anyone who wants great speed, and reliability

I am now getting better speeds through the AC88U then connecting through the Xfinity router/modem directly

First router I received had some major issues, 4 of the 8 Ethernet ports were not working, and although the wifi had very fast speeds, there was some instability of wireless devices on the network

After getting gigabit Internet at home I decided to update the firmware and try again so I could take advantage of the (theoretically) faster speeds on the 5GHZ

The speeds aren’t the issue- the dropped connectivity is.

Amazing, lightening speed

I am getting very fast upload speeds at 300 MBPS, which is way faster than the piece of junk wireless router that I received from Spectrum

Unfortunately, I had hoped that it would have boosted my DSL speeds greatly but what can I say

This router improved our connection speed throughout the house significantly

Awesome router, speeds thru the roof and coverage is unbelievable!!

The speed is great and the router panel is fantastic.

This router was great after first installation (as all technology is out of the box).The speeds were great and the wifi reached the entire household

The speed and coverage of the 5GHz band is so amazing I have honestly turned auto connect off on all of my devices for the 2.4GHz band

Now, when I have the ethernet cord hooked up, the speeds are phenomenal, no doubt about that, but that's not what I got this wireless router for

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

Great speed with no glitches while using several Smart phones, Smart TVs, gaming systems, laptops, Chromebooks etc.

If you just need good wifi in a large space with good speeds then this unit is okay

speed of the router is amazing, vpn works good, but basic functions are horrible, for example, using network map half the items connected to don’t show up.

The speeds get extremely slow and pings go way up, rebooting solves

this router just blew me away ,great speed ,great looks ,and best of all 8 ports instead of the standard 4 ,that's the main reason I got this router ,set

Used to get very fast speeds >

Not only are my overall speeds now better than my previous setup, but MUCH more stable as well.

Not only are my overall speeds now better than my previous setup, but MUCH more stable as well.

but I thought I should be getting betters speeds

Vast improvement over old Router, Great Range, Speed (for gaming), Couldn't be any more Satisfied

Covers 99% of our house and the speed is amazing

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

Covers whole home with fast speeds on all 24 wifi devices!

To get really great speeds you need to be able to match the wireless mode (AC), bandwidth (Hz), and also modulation scheme (NitroQAM/1024-QAM)

this router just blew me away ,great speed ,great looks ,and best of all 8 ports instead of the standard 4 ,that's the main reason I got this router ,set

I love the speeds it provides, I'm using WiFi and getting close to 100 Mbps on the 5 GHz line.

We have AT&T Gigabit and the Asus RT-AC3200 had the best speeds in the home and second best outside.

Lastly, once you are logged on, if you're not fighting slow, slow speeds... you're getting dropped and need to select a wireless network in order to continue your session

Good speeds and features

I may think about upgrading to the FIOS gigabit speed to see if that would increase speed sufficiently or if it's the router that is actually throttling the speeds

Now, when I have the ethernet cord hooked up, the speeds are phenomenal, no doubt about that, but that's not what I got this wireless router for

We have a commercial grade high speed connection over which the old modem worked fine.

Totally worth the extra money for the features on this router and rock solid reliability and speed

2 laptops, 1 desktop, 2 xbox, 1 ps4, 2 tablets, and 3 phones all connect at great speeds

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

then I noticed that the speeds slowed and trouble connecting by the fifth month I was unable to connect and the device was showing a red WAN connection which means it is not connected to the internet

Great Speed etc.

It's works good, fast wifi speed

Sent it back and setup old ASUS router until I find a decent replacement to improve wireless speed

The speed is amazing.

And when they don't fail, I have been experiencing horrible speeds

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

Speed - been noticeably faster than our previous 802.11ac compatible equipment.

I can't tell you if the speed is really much faster since I just installed last night

Good Wifi coverage and speed, whats more to want?

It also seems to have lower latency and faster speeds than my old TP Link 1750

and I wanted a router that could handle all that traffic and still deliver great speeds

Upload/download speeds excellent

We have had this installed for a month now and love the speed and range

after a long timeline of a few days of buying a new modem from my ISP because i upgraded my internet previously and my old modem didnt support the new speeds, and got a new modem i still problems with super erratic download speeds

Worked for about a year, then would get slow speeds, disconnect clients, and lose network connectivity (even to LAN clients) after running for a couple hours

Great Range and speed

We have a bunch of wireless devices and all connected with much better speeds and reliability

Among their favorites were: possibly too many devices on the wifi, the wifi is only as fast as the slowest device on the network, your equipment may be too old (uh, no…), possibly too many nearby neighbors with wifi, and the go-to escape clause: speeds are only guaranteed over Ethernet

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

This router would be great if it was not killing my speed.

and I was seeing good speeds.

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

AC3100 to improve speed, not to have so many connection issues

Speed wise it seems to have no issues at all handling a mixture of around 40 wired and wireless devices.

We also found unreliable speeds on both 2.4 and 5GHz networks

Unfortunately I seem to have to continuously reset it to get the right speeds

The speeds are amazing throughout the house and to date no amount of connected devices slow it down

After the initial setup connectivity and speeds good

When it works it has great speeds and really long range

fast speed and no internet hick-ups

- fantasticRange - not as good as the TP LinkThe speed when you have full

In such cases, just split them up manually and set the channel band to 40Mhz, this should boost up your speeds a bit as well

I gave up on that!- Unbearable startup speed

I bought this thinking it would deliver blazing fast speeds (as advertised), boy was

The router works well in the house and has good speed as much as 20mbps to a user download and as much as 6mbps upload

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

AWESOME SPEED!

ASUS has a great Management Console UI, reliable and top notch fast speed

In hindsight, the mesh may provide me greater speeds downstairs, but those are the trade offs I had

4 years was a good run and I got respectable speed off the Apple network.

No devices being dropped, better range, and faster speeds.

Great reouter speed and best signal

However, the speeds inexplicably slowed down dramatically after a short while and we also started experiencing random wifi drops

Great speed and range.

Basically I lose no speed at all when connected to the 5 ghz band

Great range, and I have improved the speed and consistency with which my smart home devices connect.

Terrific router! great speed!

Speed is great, range is great,

Keep in mind this will not paper over poor internet speed or bad service from your provider

internet surfing speed tons of wifi range and very secure.

Does not give me good speeds at all

Initially I was getting excellent speed even when we had the TV streaming and 3 computers running resource hogging apps and games, then over the course of the next 3 weeks things started slowing down to the point that I was feeling like we'd stepped back in

Still reviewing, wireless speeds do seem a bit slow, and the main reason I gave it 3/5 is because of their customer support, it is horrible

After a clean reboot speed was restored again

Excellent speed and easy to set up

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

This router is more than capable to support this and the speeds have been excellent and impressive over WiFi, pictures attached

Great speed however has issues with Chromecast you must enable

Speed excellent

They always appear to be consistently high quality / top speed products.

The TP Link on the other hand retains fairly consistent speeds as long as you see signal strength, and the signal does seem to have better range.

wireless speeds, faster internet speed (now able to squeeze 1.4mb down and 1mb up more)

Great speeds and performance.

Great speed however has issues with Chromecast you must enable

Getting 10x faster speeds than I was with my old router which was almost 8 years old.

In fact, after subscribing to gigabit internet, my speeds became worse than they were on my previous 100/100 plan

and I am CONSISTENTLY getting 8-20x faster DL speeds to my devices.

Great range fast speed

Pros:Speed of wireless, unquestionably, off the charts good.

Out of the box, this Asus RT-AC88U has even less consistent speeds (bounces all over between ~75 Mbps and ~300)

My Internet service provider limits my external speed to 100 MB but my internal network speed is reading 975

Initially I was getting excellent speed even when we had the TV streaming and 3 computers running resource hogging apps and games, then over the course of the next 3 weeks things started slowing down to the point that I was feeling like we'd stepped back in

I didn’t have to seek help, price was awesome and speed was incredible.

The Asus router solved all the issues I had with wi-fi signal and the speed is so much better

and I initially got excellent speeds up and down, even without attaching the four antennae

The ASUS router is better, because the coverage goes further and the speed is faster

I was getting some slow speeds especially on the 5ghz bands until I released that IGMP snooping had been enabled by default

The main problem, as is stated in many other reviews is that the 'auto' function will assign the router to a channel that will conflict with other routers in the area, like your neighbors, and limit the speed

This is a bada$$ router has tons of functionality and just works, amazing range and speed.

This beast just works!The speed is blinding

Excellent speed and coverage.

since then i've tried every combination of wireless setting under the sun, but simply refuse to use the settings that limit my connection speed to less than a good N router would give me

Strong 2.4 GHz signal with good penetration, and the usual somewhat reflective 5 GHz performance but still good speeds throughout the house.

Speed is great

We have slow internet (8Mb/s)

I will likely just write this POS router off as a loss, trash it, and buy a good Netgear or D-Link.
