Reviews around interface (4.27 of 5)

  • , it's super easy to manage, and comes with a user-friendly interface to do so.
  • Works as advertised with very easy setup and intuitive interface.
  • I took a lot of time to really research routers as we have AT&T T-1000 fiber that just screams.
  • I believe now that the interface is unable to actually control the router for anything more than creating a wifi network, beyond that point the software engineering completely fails and is very, very, broken.
  • but I really like the software interface, its easy to use and set options on

  • The ASUS AC1900 Wireless router is working very well, the area of coverage has exceeded my expectation by far

Reviews around performance (3.95 of 5)

  • As a side note, the router has outstanding performance otherwise.
  • If you are looking for a sub-$200 wi-fi router with great range, performance and features then this is the best of the best.
  • since this costs considerably more than $50 I am not quite happy nor would you be with sporadic performance
  • I replaced it with has much better range and performance.
  • The specs on this router should surpass this demand, but even with pretty much every perk disabled performance is poor.

  • It started out great, easy setup, very fast speed (on par with wired connection)
  • This router has a ton of features, and paired with high speed internet, you can get really fast speeds on wifi, even on the 2.4ghz band

Reviews around line (1.95 of 5)

  • I was informed that while their motherboard department was afforded the luxury of sending working replacements before receiving the defective product, that an arbitrary line in the sand had been drawn and on this side there was nothing to be done
  • Bottom line, this router may not work with some network cards, especially the Reaktek GBE or FE family of cards
  • best bet is to hard-line an e-thernet cable to everything on a trust worthy router, and treat Wi-Fi like a side dish to your household.*review*On paper this product looks like it has the works, and it probably does
  • My latest issue is I have no internet connection via the router at all so now have to use the hard line until a level 2 tech calls me as they can't figure it out

  • More than enough fir ne to stream HD Netflix --->(Ctrl+Shift+S)
  • This is the most expensive router I’ve purchased, and I’m moving on from a misbehaving D-Link DIR-860L which, to it’s credit, lasted for a few years.
