That is the other thing, the three bands working together on this router dominate all the noise in my congested neighborhood

This thing is awesome!

This thing is ready to boil some eggs

I can't say enough good things about this Tri-band AC wireless router.

and then what things I didn't find too great which was totally not a deal breaker at all

My God this thing is a true beast when it comes to range and speed, truly does not disappoint

The thing looks menacing, so it is not a nice addition to your decor, but it is amazing.

Thing is pretty and pretty reliable

I need a rainforest to kill all the trees in order to have enough paper to write all the positive things.

If this thing was stable, it would be a totally awesome router!

This thing is crazy fast...

but this thing has had no issues

I love this thing.

Since I installed the Asus, these frustrations are now a thing of the past; I' ve particularly noticed a dramatic improvement in my iPad's performance (an older iPad 4).

I read some great things about Asus networking products and decided to ignore some of the less complimentary reviews on this one and take a chance.

This thing is awesome

I had only been using the damn thing 5 days and BOTH wireless bands just stopped working for no reason at all

this thing is crazy

The only good thing is that it died before the return period was up and I had to deal with sending it to ASUS.

NOT ANYMORE!This thing is amazing

(My wife loves old things and we bought a house as old as America.)

Asus has revised this thing at least 5 times without fixing this problem

Cons...this thing is about as reliable as my dates on tinder

The best thing of this router is the power of data transfer, you can distribute the home devices work load in three bands (old devices in the 2 Mhz Band and new Devices in 5Mhz two bands)

WOW this thing is a rocket ship

Good thing is, it overheats so much it does make it cheaper on the gas bill

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.

It is a very satisfactory thing

Guess what, no more weird things happening to my computers!!

This thing is fast!

The most peculiar thing is that according to CrystalDiskMark USB 2.0 (second screenshot) can be faster than USB 3.0 (first screenshot) for my hard drive in some situations

so I suggested that maybe the proper thing to do would be to send me the replacement then I could return the bad router

I really can't say enough good things about this router

This unsatisfied transfer rate was not the worst thing for

This thing works so good, I no longer use my wired stereo for the back and went 100% streaming off an iPad to a bluetooth jam box!!

Can't say enough good things about this router.

You can set-up TM successfully only if you restore router to factory defaults and configure it from the beginning manually (NOT AUTOMATICALLY), one important thing – during configuration router cannot be connected to internet (in this case it will configure automatically)

The thing works, and has reliable WiFi 802.11ac as well as 802.11n.

You can see every device on your network and do things like limit your kids smartphone browsing

:I can VPN out to work and it doesn't slow things down much for everyone else

Good thing is, it overheats so much it does make it cheaper on the gas bill

thing is killer and gets the job done

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

Upgraded my network to a 500 down 50 up service and this thing works like a charm

This thing rips simple and plain

I love this thing

The only good thing is that it died before the return period was up and I had to deal with sending it to ASUS.

All of that said, the only real nice thing I have to say is that the signal does cover my entire home which is great, but I am making the switch to the nighthawk

I tried D-Link which I got on sale - it is a solid router but has very few options for parental controls and other nice things which you got used to on ASUS WRT (Tomato based) firmware

Really...the best thing is that connectivity is excellent everywhere

The best thing about ASUS is the Tech support is free unlike the other brands

Circle support tried many different things but no joy

This thing is awesome

Where before we had issues with online games dropping connection on the old router, one this new one things start rock solid no matter where we are in the apartment

This thing is amazing

this is the best thing

But the last two just can't finesse the finer things routers can do (like do dual wan -- though they claim to).

This thing never worked right

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

This thing is like a gaming computer, pretty nuts

On the down side, I'm sure beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but to my eyes, this thing is hideously ugly

Sad to say, heard many good things about ASUS routers.

When I got the router initially things were actually quite good.

After spending a lot of time customizing things, I ran a speed test and things were terribly slow

If you're not into it setting things up automatically, like every router you can dig up and set everything up yourself

Cool thing though Asus just added functionality and built into the firmware to be controlled by alexa

They force you to set up a wireless is and password, which tbh is a good thing

But shortly after that, Netgear firmware updates became very unstable and constantly caused me to roll back to an much older versions just to keep things somewhat stable and operational.

I hate this thing.

bought mine at Frys because my old router broke but this thing was quite a upgrade i used it for gaming using ethernet and wireless both of which were done three floors apart from

The most advanced awesome home router I ever had, this thing is feature rich

This thing is incredible

Can't connect, things go offline, like my surveillance system... JUNK!

I've heard and read many great things about this router only to be disappointed less than a month into utilizing it

I've heard good things about the Netgear Nighthawk, would probably try that next time.

If I end up buying another router - I don't want this awful thing back

but I have to say this thing so far has been amazing

This thing does a great job of providing coverage to the entire house as well as out to my attached garage.

Works so well and a lot of things to tweak, if you enjoy those things.

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

So far, this thing has wasted way more of my time than I should have let it.

Another nice thing is Asus' self-hosted DDNS service

Sad to say, heard many good things about ASUS routers.

This thing is worth the money.

This thing is crazy fast

This thing worked great, except only 2/3 of it was functional

n’t had not one issue at all

n’t go wrong with this router

, i so mad dont even want to replace it

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
