Asus has made a fantastic router at a reasonable price.

While ASUS has released a "new version" of this router, I still recommend RT-AC66U as a good buy at the right price.

The Asus Rt-Ac66u B1 came out a clear winner, at an unbeatable price

This works for a decent price compared to other routers.

My son recommended ASUS and specifically asked me to order it from Amazon because the price was better.

I thought this would be a great way to solve teenager home network load issues with 2 nodes and 'Mesh' to improve coverage in the house

I was hoping for better coverage at the far end of my house

Added this to my 68U ac1900 to add additional coverage to my house and it works awesome! so happy with it.

The only thing that does not work as I would like is the url and keyword filter, but this is a known problem with filtering some webpages, as the router instructions say it cannot filter any secure website that use compression or https; although it will filter pages that have only http

Provides great coverage even being placed in the basement.

Relatively easy setup, includes necessary cables, works as advertised.

Very easy setup if your VPN service provider uses the OPEN VPN standard.

Needed a vpn client router, setup is not too easy but works great

Needed a vpn client router, setup is not too easy but works great

The setup was bothersome because to access the router via a browser I had to use an IP that I've never used before and nowhere in any booklet or on the router itself was there an explanation to this, I had to google for a good hour or two before I realized this awkward IP address was

Astonishingly, tech support was totally unaware of what was not

Tech support was useless

I did not rate tech Support because I did not need them.

Had to call tech support to set it up but learned a lot

I called tech support and they wanted $140 to "update software".

While its wireless performance was good in close quarters (i.e. less than 25 ft), as soon as I walked over to the next room, or upstairs or to the basement, signal strength fell precipitously to the point that an iPhone would switch over to LTE

ASUS tech support was completely unhelpful, suggesting the use of LEGACY which did nothing but slowed performance, and selecting channel 11 which also did nothing to resolve the issue

Solid performance and great range! Make sure and update the firmware right out of tht gate but thus far, no problems...

The only thing that does not work as I would like is the url and keyword filter, but this is a known problem with filtering some webpages, as the router instructions say it cannot filter any secure website that use compression or https; although it will filter pages that have only http

For the money it's a great router with good features and top notch performance

These were recommended by a friend, and have worked very well since installed

All 5 ghz wireless devices are working smooth, the 2.4 ghz has a great signal all throughout the house

I bought it because of the brand ASUS, and I am happy it is working great so far

Save yourself the hassle - if admin / admin does not work hit the reset.

I purchased this router a few months ago and it seems to really be working well.

Trust me if you want a new router with crazy range and easy to set interface/controls this is for you.

The Asus’ lack of range on 2.4GHz is very disappointing, 5GHz which characteristically has even less range is essentially useless

Router has great range and super easy set up, I eliminated the several extenders in my home.

The only thing that does not work as I would like is the url and keyword filter, but this is a known problem with filtering some webpages, as the router instructions say it cannot filter any secure website that use compression or https; although it will filter pages that have only http

Greater range would be overkill that only exposed my LAN to more of my neighborhood

For the money it's a great router with good features and top notch performance

(OFDMA a key AX feature) and may never be active if new firmware is not released and/or updated by the user.

Love the new router and all the new features of a more modern router

Also it has a lot of great features, (VPN, firewall, Traffic analyzer, etc)No more dropped calls with calling over wifi and improved speeds overall

It includes a very nice firewall and anti-malware features.

I installed this router today and can confirm that it is a great product

If you're like me---need internet working all the time---don't buy this router despite AMAZON rec---not user friendly and poor product support----and since I didn't know of the problems until after Amazon's return policy

A great product that definitely improved my download time!

Regular firmware updates means they are always improving their product.

Based on my experiences I cannot recommend this product.

Nothing but lost connections, stuttering streaming and slow speeds and 3 factory resets to finally get it to work

I hated my ATT Uverse wi-fi router because the speeds were inconsistent and not putting out the speeds I was paying for

With the dual core processor, this router should have been fast and able to handle many clients but it had very slow download speeds with only 26 clients.

I do recommend using "TCP" instead of "UDP" for a little better speed and performance stability for the VPN

Wired speeds as reported by lan speed test free to a NAS are also quite fast

I bought this to replace my 7 year older Linksys E2000 because it was having wifi dropouts and frequent overheating issues

The wifi is insanely inconsistent, frequently dropping out requiring me to toggle my connection to it.

Very good router and wifi and the Asus control panel works very well.

A very cost effective wifi router if you want or need the performance and features,

Easy to set up and I get better WiFi on my second floor than I did with my Belkin router

The AiCloud and AiProtection (Trend Micro) work as advertised and are also easy to enable and configure.

I ended up returning the devices since they didn't work as advertised.

Relatively easy setup, includes necessary cables, works as advertised.

The range is good, as I can use the WiFi portion in any room of my house as well as in my detached garage

The only thing that does not work as I would like is the url and keyword filter, but this is a known problem with filtering some webpages, as the router instructions say it cannot filter any secure website that use compression or https; although it will filter pages that have only http

I was going to use it as an access point but decided to replace the older Dark Knight.

and I am buying another Asus RT N66U Dark Knight for an access point.

The 5g is fast

Before setting up the RT-AC66U B1 as a primary replacing the Dark Knight, I was using an Asus RT N66U Dark Knight as the primary router and an Asus RT-ACRH13 as an access point.

Great 2.4 and 5G performance.

It performed well, but lacked the power to reach all corners of my fairly large house

But the power switch randomly broke, and doesn't stay pressed.

I bought a 3-year Square Trade warranty because of the problematic power switch

Potential buyers should be aware that this uses the same defective power switch as on the previous model, the Asus RT-

The device came with the wrong power supply

I have lots digital movies on external hard drives and pictures

The USB 3.0 port is also great because I use it to connect an external hard drive to backup the computers on my home network.

Hooked up a hard drive to it, I can stream movies from it.

However when I wanted to expand a little bit more by connecting a hard drive to it, I was not able to do it.
