but then only the 5ghz radio worked but

The first one I got had a bad radio (1/3 and if I hadn't just bought

5 GHz radio broke shortly after purchase

I've had to resort to disabling the 5Ghz radio all together which makes me very angry.

I tried rebooting, downgrading firmware to previous version, powercycling router, enabling/disabling radio in router settings....

The first router I bought had a bad 5ghz radio,asus said just return

I'm using adaptive QoS for VoIP on my iPhone, I've using the traffic analyzer, I'm not using ANY guest network or patently controls, I'm using OpenVPN functionality (defaults don't work...which ticked me off), I also disabled the third 5Ghz radio from the start

The 2.4GHZ radio is now completely dead and it doesn't broadcast that SSID

One ended up having a permanent WiFi issue - even after reverting to the old 380-series firmware and performing 8 factory flush resets, the stupid WiFi radios refused to broadcast

The number 1 5GHZ radio just went out and stopped broadcasting

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

The radio is suspect, the coverage range is awful, ASUS support is infuriating, and radio burns out

The 5GHz radio died after about ten days.

The two radios are really nice for moving wireless networks around in their frequency spectrums to isolate traffic to clearer frequencies when needed and to keep my public devices (and their congestion) away from my protected and private devices

The first one I received had a bad 5ghz radio and was acting

I can only get the 5GHz-2 radio up, after a reboot, power cycle, factory reset, nothing worked.

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

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

Works as it is supposed to

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

QoS and bandwidth manager works as it should

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

, i so mad dont even want to replace it
