The wireless range doesn’t seem much improved over what I had with the 66U, especially on the second story

Range is quite good although I expected a bit better for the $$ paid, but I understand brick buildings are never a friend to wireless!

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.

The RT-AC88U has great range and signal strength

Lost WIFI numerous times, had to reboot system multiple times, range is horrible and had issues trying to connect an extender

Have used it for some time top performer no problems and the range is great

Good hardware and signal range

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

Excellent range, strong 5 gig signal.

Works kind of, all the features advertised do work the range is what I would expect out of a home router unite

The WiFi has good range and works for what I need (I don't stream anything over WiFi except for the Chromecasts I have).

It easily has the best range of any router I've ever purchased

Noted that it does appear to have a bit greater range than my RT-N66W.

I love that there are 8 ethernet ports in the back and the range is fantastic

This one works great, has excellent range and 8 ethernet ports

Great Range.

This one works great, has excellent range and 8 ethernet ports

Apart from one going bad the internet is the fastest ive ever had and the range is fantastic.

Works very well with much better range at the far corners of the house.

Awesome range, great options and customisation options, app works well, and a nice interface on the computer

Great range!

Incredible range

I had awesome range, and the software UI gives you some nice control in a fairly easy interface

If I had it to do over again, I would probably not buy this product as I am sure there are other products out there in this price range that would support a wider range of IPv6 functionality as well as SNMP (seriously, a router that cannot be inspected by SNMP - what's the point).

The range is unbelievable.

When I buy a $300 router that's touted as having incredible range, I expect to see full bars on my smart TV, which sits just twenty-five feet away, with an unobstructed line of sight

The range and throughput are great.

Range is solid too

Great range

Wow, this router is the best, it has incredible range and easy to setup

I was blown away by the high level of customization and the IMMENSE range

The good:=It's got great range on 2.4 GHz band, easily covering a 4000 sq

Range and features far exceeded expectations.

DON'T DO IT....if you don't like long range, fast internet

n now have super fast wifi n long range with this router (Highly recommended)

Great WiFi security and range

Amazing wireless router with pretty good range throughout my 2-story home, even in the garage

Good range fastest net I ever had

Range and speed are awesome

The range is also impressive an easily covers our entire place.

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.

like i said when it works its one of the best routers outthere with great range i can go to my driveway inside my car and still have 4 bars on the 2.4 ghz channel my gaming room is in the basement and my router is in the first floor and i get 4 and sometimes 5 bars of

Poor connectivity that drops constantly, 5 foot range on wireless, buggy as hell

Range seems good so far

Excellent range

Wanted a little better range and the 87r was first gen beam forming and related tech

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

Excellent range for all bands and very reliable

ABSOLUTELY worth the money, extended my range like 5x over from an

As many others have reported, the built-in WiFi from the Fiber Provider's box had very poor range

Great Range

Range is far greater than my old RT-N66U running Tomato or Merlin.

Range is better than the Asus and works perfect with Apple Air play, my Denon receiver, and every other device we have.

I was replacing Apple wireless network, hope for a network with greater range

Range is not as good as I thought it would be

The range on this router is insane

The range is the best I've ever seen.

8 Ethernet LAN ports, add up to 6 guests, great security, dual band, great range, this thing is awesome.

Superb range and no drops at all

Speed is great, range is great,

Since I have this router all my devices -10 between computers, mobiles, tablets and TV- work at full speed (240 mb/s) and the range is far greater that it was before (more than 10 meter, two brick walls in between with no problem).I'm very happy with the router and would highly recomend it

And much better range.

Limited range was also an issue (it had an internal antenna).We also have gone from casual web browsing with a 1 or 2 devices, to having 4 wifi security cams, 2 smart switches, 2 Amazon Echos, an Ooma(VOIP), cell phones, and several streaming devices

Easy setup, good range, and works seamlessly with all of my devices including an older Roomba that only supports 2.4 GHz

Great speed and range.

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

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

When I buy a $300 router that's touted as having incredible range, I expect to see full bars on my smart TV, which sits just twenty-five feet away, with an unobstructed line of sight

Just prior to this purchase, I had purchased an Eero mesh network system (comes with main unit and two beacons), which worked good as far as range and signal strength.

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

It has an awesome range, but still have wireless connectivity problems even with the latest firmware update

Great range, blazing fast connection, immensely feature rich

Range is great.

Positive: The range is very good

The range of this product is good and the set up was easy.

Wireless range of the two were decent but would start degrading outside of the house from the door step

When it works it has great speeds and really long range

Great Range and speed

Overall performance is excellent, signal range is superior to my previous device, and I am extremely pleased with this purchase

The only reason we did not stay with the Linksys EA9500 is because the features were bland and it had to connect to Linksys for certain features to work but its range was bar non the best

Good range, easy setup, reliable signal

Great range.

Excellent range.

The WIFI coverage has pretty small range as well

Great router with excellent range

The day I had it, the range was better, the average throughputs were about the same, and overall I was happy

Works very well in my house, great range and replaces a router and 2 extenders

I chose this router because it was suppose to have good range

This thing is awesome as far as range and speed, but only after 3 weeks it puked on me.

Great range.

Easy set-up with improved range and signal from my former Nighthawk AC1900.

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

Also, the range was quite disappointing.

The wireless range of the previous router was pretty decent

Awesome well worth the money great range very easy to setup

Awesome well worth the money great range very easy to setup

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

so far i got my tv ,ps4,xbox1,my reciver, and media player plus my CCTV DVD all hardwired into the switch and its working flawless not one drop at all ,, i started connecting my wireless devices next ,mostly phones and tablets and media players and stuff like that ,range is awesome ,i can walk to the back of my house with my tablet which i would say is about 35 feet away and through 2 walls and i still get 55mb down on my tablet ,,i just turned on the ai protection ,which i was worried would start blocking my sites or use bandwidth and etc.. but so far i don't notice it .,seems to run fine and also set up a 32gig flash dirve and a samba share which went well too

The range goes clear out past my neighbor's house which is 100 feet away

I subscribe to gigabit internet service but never see anything close to that speed over wifi due to the extremely weak range and poor wifi performance of my so-called quantum gateway

Previously using Comcast modem without a router and wifi range was poor.

This router has continued to drop 5ghz radio and has poor range.

The AC3100 really seemed to be very overt with it's antennae, so I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a better range on it than its 8 year old counterpart.

The features it has, along with the incredible range, plus it is REALLY easy to use compared to other routers... makes this router the best I’ve ever seen or heard about(provided it continues to work this way.

good product, WIFI is fast and range is good for 90m2 apartment

Live in a small apartment so range is not an issue.

Great range

I really didn't need anything more than I had in that other router (which was 8 years old), but was kind of hoping that this one would produce better range.

I never had a problem with the connection on the Comcast router but the range on that unit was not good

Overall, besides the options for a geek like me, everything else is pretty good and the range is good also.

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

The range is better, but Sonos won't

Excellent range and tons of features.

Wireless range is much improved, devices that only showed one bar now show 3 or all four in the same location.

Bought based on PC Mag comparison & recommendation to boost speed and wifi signal range at home

The range is AMAZING and we are finally getting the speeds we've been paying for but our old router just could not handle on multiple devices

It doesn't get hot and has great range

Excellent range.

Great range.

My home is only around 2800 sq feet but my router is in the corner of my house so range is always an issue.

Our 7 year old Apple router works better, never dropped the network, the range was pretty decent, and devices connected to it seamlessly

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

Good range.

5G range is very good.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The 2.4G works

2.4G worked fine

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

Just like all the others 2g works fine

The 5g is fine.

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

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

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

5G was working for me for a few

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

Love the features and the strong 2.4G signal

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

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

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.
