Excellent Web interface ( and a smart phone app) to configure router settings
It was easy to set up, has an intuitive interface, and has not given me any trouble since I installed it
firmware supports scheduled rebooting of the router and the best web user interface I have ever seen.
Extremely easy to setup - Has great range throughout my apartment - The interface to change the settings from default factory programming was extremely user friendly in my opinion
Good news is the interface is pretty easy to access and navigate to find those settings, bad news is every time you want to change ANYTHING in the router settings, the whole router has to reset
the router automatically performed 2 firmware updates (in once month, this is a healthy indicator Asus is actively improving the device).The parental control feature is very simple, and basic too
Currently, as this is a new device and ASUS is still actively supporting it, this is a minor issue as the OEM firmware has decent features.
I have gigabit internet and wanted to make sure I had a good enough router that my wireless devices that can utilize a 5G band could take full advantage of my internet speed
I bought this in hopes of improving my network stability after adding a bunch of smart home devices
It's the only router I've ever encountered that automatically disconnects idle devices from the wi-fi and calls it a feature
Really nice router, The dual bands make it great to get strong wifi across the entire house
The 5G wifi is horrible
Now the PS4 in the living room doesn't lag due to a crummy wifi connection, I can even run the steamlink and play Rocket League without issue which is pretty impressive.
No more headaches from family members complaining about slow wifi
Excelent Router, fast wifi connection, feature like monitor network devices and QoS are awesome
Delivers awesome range and consistent speeds throughout the house.
I own the ASUS RT-AC68U and thought I would move to this one as it claimed to have better range.
However, when using the 5GHz, the range is VERY poor, -80dBm with 2 walls in between at any point (less than 10 meters/33 feet distance), and hence my 4 stars
The only issue I had was the 2.4g was slow but after changing settings to 20MHz bandwidth only and N only it resolved that issue
Good range, it routs just fine, but too damn complicated and dare I say overly so.?!
So right after I added the update below, I started having an issue where all of the android phones in my house will randomly loose data connection (not all at the same time) to the router (they still see it as the wifi symbol is still on but the LTE symbol will also light up).
We typically have 7 devices connected, and connection has been seamless with no drop-offs seen yet.
Extremely fast, I use tons of devices and never have issues connecting or losing connection
The first sign was losing my Ethernet port connections than a few days later, no wifi Internet connections
