I give it 4 stars only because it lacks some features on the more expensive routers I feel like the router could have handled like the TrendMicro suite and the security review (which actually be a Merlin firmware function) and there is no Merlin firmware for it

The router has a lot of neat features: File Share, VPN, Cloud disk (similar to Dropbox, but the iphone app is terrible)

Feature rich.

Unfortunately it does not support some advanced features like Print Server support, even after firmware update

Another nice feature of that is that it allows you to store multiple VPN server address (location) profiles that can be changed/switched between with just a mouse click in firmware

I wish this cute little router would work because of the many cool features, but alas, it is VERY VERY VERY unreliable.

Lots of neat features and great reception throughout the house.

It's fairly stylish, performance and reliability are excellent for its price, and the included firmware is very feature-rich for a stock firmware

You can set this thing up if you're not technically inclined, and has great features if you know what you're doing

A nice feature is the Access point

I like the Dual Band feature

Our needs aren't too intense, but it does have a guest network on both frequencies and a bandwidth monitor which we wanted as well as QoS features

So much better than our old router and multiple channels is a great feature.

Currently, as this is a new device and ASUS is still actively supporting it, this is a minor issue as the OEM firmware has decent features.

The features it offers at this price point make it worthy of consideration for your wireless network use.

One nice feature too is that the LEDs can be turned off

Absolutely wonderful router with decent features.

Nice feature that you can turn off the LED lights

It even has several additional "neat" features like network testing tools and user-selectable USB port functions

Very, very, very easy setup, great web interface and very useful features like VPN and AiCloud

Great features.

Offers some neat features like compatibility with RADIUS and ease of SSID broadcast management

Last, another nice feature with the ASUS router is it gives you the ability to set up guest user profiles/SSIDs, with separate passwords, on the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands

It has good range and all the basic features you expect from a router

it has plenty of great features for the average home user

Best features

Most of all, I love the QOS feature and capability.

Just irritates me they left such a basic feature off, not like it is a $40 router

This little router packs a huge punch - it's fast and full of features!Seriously, the features do work and ASUS even added DDNS tools in the router itself.

The features are great and easy to use

A well-designed, reliable unit with good features and security.

No change in any of the previously described good features

First, some of the positives:* decent feature set for stock firmware* easy, quick setup and a fairly nice web

I always buy ASUS routers, they always work well and have tons of nice features like VPN servers without the need of putting on custom firmware

The wifi is outstanding, I have a much bigger wifi signal and the dual 2.4ghz and 5.0 ghz is a great feature although I primarily use the 5.0ghz for the faster speeds

It has many useful features

Fast, nice features, reasonable price

I bought this router because of the good reviews, the features and the price (wireless AC router with built-in gigabit switch and MU-MIMO under $80).

Great features for price, works well.

Great features for price, works well.

I have only one MU-MIMO capable device, so i cannot tell if the feature is useful

I could tell you other outstanding features of this device, but the bottom line is this: If you are looking for a powerful high-speed wireless router at an unbelievable price, buy this one right here....you will not regret it.

Even in Access Point mode there are nice features that allow you to host USB drives, reboot the routers on weekly schedules at specified times, remote log, and see basic details about all of the connected devices

The fact that you have the option to setup a guest network is a nice feature

This router have a lot of very nice features and is close to being professional grade

This unit has some nice features.

Great range and more features then most people will ever use.

One feature I especially like in the router

Its a dual band router with some flashy features that in the end just make it kinda tedious to work with

2.4 band just as weak as the 5GHZ.

but the range isn't as great as I would've imagined

The dual-band is amazing and I've had great coverage all over my home, as well as quick D/U speeds on my mobile devices.
