One is setup as a WiFi slave since I don't have a wire in that part of the house.

n’t get anymore complaints about not connecting or dropped wireless

Easy setup to Aimesh, and signals are pretty good as well!

Setup was easy through the app, and I appreciate how seemless it was to re use the same ssid.

Leaving the router as a wifi 5 unit.(something to have in consideration if you want to get it as mesh system)As a single main router unit, nothing but good things for this small unit, specifically if your main thing is streaming and smart home devices

Split the home in half across 1 (2.4GHz) and 2 (5GHz) channels.

But with so many devices these days, that could really disturb a home founded on automation

With all the smart home devices we now have, echo dots/shows, phones tablets, laptops, game consoles and on and on

15-20 times a week the internet "drops", to the point none of my alexas comnect anymore, all my smart home devices lose their minds anf stop working.

48 hours later, I received an email from Asus tech support

Have no idea on tech support, have not needed to contact them.

I didn't want to contact Asus tech support as they are notoriously bad

I would not recommend this router for beginners, however, as the interface and features can be overwhelming.

It's not exactly the most intuitive interface, but you figure it out after a while

It lacks a

n’t go wrong with this router

But still even I do have tested the 2.4GHz and the performance was perfect.

the poor performance I've experienced from the GT-AX11000 so far.

Heat kills electronics and slows down their performance

For the price, this kind of inconsistent performance is completely unacceptable.

I wanted to be able to separate connections to try to improve performance.

It also shows which features will be disabled if you don't agree to letting TM crawl through your data.

I ensured the latest firmware was installed and changed multiple channels, changed multiple Freq's and even disabled multiple features to try and troubleshoot the issue.

The features are pretty nice too for this setup, it's so easy to configure any Asus router period

But it's a dual band, lacks VPN fusion feature and theoretical speed

Apparently Netgear was going to add those features in the future, not good enough on a high end router

No issues with the AT&T Gateway, and I've got good wireless speeds in all the spots in the house that used to have issues - around 250 Mbs with sub-20ms latency using the Ookla speediest app on my iPhone

App does not work if you have a space (" ") in there (this is the most secure type of password

The app is really good and overall was the one bright spot here.

You're device automatically disconnects and reconnects typically without you noticing, with some exceptions of apps/services that don't support roaming connections

Love this router, and the app and programs on how to use it is great.

However to ensure the two MESH devices have great connection and speed, they added the WiFi 6 chips in their routers so that the two can use the additional bandwidth provided

People say it hurts your wifi speeds and it's possible, but this didn't for us

So, if you enable the Mesh system in any way, at least on the most recent firmware, you cannot get the full ax speeds

I bought a Google Nest mesh router, and that has worked great, with faster WiFi speeds than the Asus.

I bought this router for the fast speed and the large ram; I don't have any wifi 6 devices yet

My 2G band speeds tanked after the update and doing the factory reset fixed it

Very good coverage in our house that’s 2400sq feet two story

Overall I'm very satisfied with how these improved the WiFi coverage in the house and how easy it was to set up as a replacement for AT&T's built-in wireless

I also live in a house that has metal framing which can act as a natural Faraday cage and destroy coverage

Has drastically improved coverage and speed in our home.

More powerful wifi signal than the previous rapture 5300

but I can't justify the purchase now because there are no weak signal areas in the house.

The signal is great in the farthest corner in the basement and upstairs

There are areas of my house where the signal is very poor

No issues with install or creating mesh with Asus AC5300 - now have a strong signal throughout the house (both floors & multiple walls) and backyard/pool area.

Best product and service, for the best price I’ve seen.

This is the most frustrating product I've ever worked with

I would not recommend this product because of the reliability problems and poor technical support.

Great product easy to setup asus customer care walked me through the set up

Having said all of this the product was real easy to set up, I am very happy with my purchase.

Is it worth upgrading an older AC router to this AX (wifi 6) model

Have nothing that is WIFI 6 capable to really test the router, but working great with all my existing hardware.

This is the best WiFi 6 router available, especially if you want dual 5 GHz bands

It is 100% possible to get your full speed (other than multi-gig speeds) with ax wifi, just not 100% of the time

It worked fine for 6 months then the wifi stopped working.

EDIT September 15th 2020: went back to dropping connections and having a weak range

The range is abysmal, likely because the antenna are garbage

AImesh is a sounds good on paper but is unstable, likely because of the poor range on these

(kill me now)Which is a shame because the Wi-Fi network is great the router speed is fantastic, and with my 2 old routers as nodes in a mesh the range is insane!

Was easy to set up, has amazing range and great features

Range is much better this way and connection is stable and fast.

Second:All wired and wireless devices randomly loose connection and you have to disconnect and reconnect to fix it

yr old wifi Netgear router in place instead and now the connection and wifi is solid but with slower speed

However to ensure the two MESH devices have great connection and speed, they added the WiFi 6 chips in their routers so that the two can use the additional bandwidth provided

Connection issues since it doesn’t have sticky connections.

even my hard wired pc has nothing but dropped connections

i seriously do not know what is up with these routers, when i plugged in my modem to it, it wouldnt pick up the internet connection at all i had to do the opposite of what the manual said an turn on the router first then the modem, finally got a connection got everything set up tried connecting to the 5g network nothing no connection when my pc tht is hard wired to

I'd say if you got the money to do it and you have good internet speed (wired

Keep them wired by ethernet and welcome to the 23 century!

The hard wired gaming speed was substantially better with this router

It sounds like everyone else has reliability issues, but I haven't had any connectivity reliability issues with the latest firmware

Not quite as blazing fast as I was hoping for, but it's a drastic improvement

I wanted to love this new ASUS RT-AX89X router so much...but after spending 9 hours triaging and root causing the reliability issues, spending 1 hour with my ISP to eliminate all other known DHCP and WAN issues, rebuilding my entire IoT network of 32+ connected devices... I've come to the conclusion that this router performs the way it looks...a stinky dead upside crab!

Despite the reliability issue it is the best WiFi I’ve had in terms of concurrent device support and whole house coverage(~4500sqft across three floors)

Secondly, connecting thru 2.5G port worked really good, and was fairly easy to setup

and I was hoping the "latest and greatest" would solve lagging issues on streaming services

Not quite as blazing fast as I was hoping for, but it's a drastic improvement

None of my devices having lag issues, and all connections are fast.

My 2G band speeds tanked after the update and doing the factory reset fixed it

Big mistake, Netgear has a firmware issue that isn’t resolved that prevents DHCP from working correctly

Not quite as blazing fast as I was hoping for, but it's a drastic improvement

It lacks a

Tech support is really weak for both firmware issues and dual wan issues.

I am pretty sure this is a firmware issue and not a hardware issue as I just like many others, can reset the router and get them connected back again--only to have the issue crop back again

Not quite as blazing fast as I was hoping for, but it's a drastic improvement

think you will need to setup a mesh for a home 1500sq-ft or less.-Easy to setup.-Excellent web interface ( mobile app for your smart phone is also excellent):-Small footprint.-WiFi 6.Cons:4 flimsy non-removable external antennas

Not happy at all with the amount of money this router cost to have cheap antenna on it... come on

The range is abysmal, likely because the antenna are garbage

After researching this issue, I realized that many other people are having this same problem

There is a forum thread from Oct 2019 about how several people have reported the issue and it's still not fixed

Super easy set up for tech savvy people

People say it hurts your wifi speeds and it's possible, but this didn't for us

As I read so many people's difficulties I decided to set up the router before connecting it to my system.

One work around is to set a static IP for the new devices and force them to be within your range

It's somewhat like a static IP address, but without the hassle of all the extra configuration steps

This allows you to set the VPN up without a static IP or paying for a separate DDNS service.

You can do this by setting your dynamic IP address range like this

Also, setting static IPs or IP conflicts problems are commonly frozen your network

I updated the firmware right away, and have zero wifi issues.

Unfortunately after over a week messing around with various settings, I am returning it to Newegg as I consistently have wifi issues with the device.

I'm still having significant WiFi issues when using AiMesh.

It fixed all my WiFi issues so that three students could go to school (online) and two adults can work from home

I've been hoping that eventually a firmware update would fix the dropping wifi issues but things have gotten worse

Sometimes the media server only broadcasts one hard drive connected to the router (other times both)

I bought two new Western Digital black hard drives so it may be its hard for the router to identify since it labels them by their stock model name (which is the name) as opposed to what I named the drive

My link speed is 2.5G which allows me to backup my computer to a USB hard drive connected to the router as quickly as possible

NAS 12TB storage device (dual ethernet ports), 1 older 1TB networked hard drive (hardwired

My only issue is that I use a USB hard drive connected to the router as a Samba share drive for my network but the router only supports SMB1 for communicating with the drive

If you read the product description it does not support most wireless connections.

App does not work if you have a space (" ") in there (this is the most secure type of password

and I suggest that no one does until this issue is fixed.

WIFI 6 does not work when you use the wireless back channel.

I was hoping that it would lend itself to placing one RT-AX92U on the first and second floor of my home.when installing the two RT-AX92Us with a gigabit ethernet cable between them, the network speeds were mediocre to abysmal, compared to my old ASUS RT-AC3200.As a second test I disabled AiMesh, removed the second RT-AX92U, and compared it to my old RT-AC3200.The speed of my old router was significantly higher

n’t get anymore complaints about not connecting or dropped wireless

getting way slower speed test results after the switch and weak signals compared to Linksys ac3000/ac1900

On the 5-2 Band, I got the expected 1.7 Gbps link speed(fun fact, while testing this with aggregate wan enabled, every time I connected a 160 Mhz device the routers rebooted themselves, once aggregate wan was disabled this stopped happenning)

n’t get anymore complaints about not connecting or dropped wireless

A hard reboot or disable of the radio and re-enable of the radio resolves

It drops the WAN port once a week ( only a hard reboot resolves this )

It boggles my mind how something that is intended to work so well, with the number of antennas and the amount of power it is transmitting, just doesn't work

The idea that something that is supposed to be advanced will not allow you this basic functionality is mind-bogglingly stupid
