Reviews around interface (5.00 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around strength (4.56 of 5)

  • Great ASUS router with great WiFi signal strength for faster and reliable data service
  • 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
  • The signal strength on 2.4GHz and 5GHz were excellent however the 5GHz band would randomly drop out while 2.4GHz and Ethernet port work properly.
  • Solid signal strength throughout the house, wifi download speeds improved from 56k to 120+mb in most locations
  • For the price, it promised good signal strength, range and the bandwidth I needed for my 400/25 internet speed

Reviews around tech support (4.47 of 5)

  • I did call ASUS tech support but they wanted me to troubleshoot it even more by sending a log and situational
  • I didn't have to call or email tech support or even call my tech person to help me
  • I called Asus tech support which was absolutely useless, but the problem was easily addressed with a Google search.
  • Tech support wasted an hour of my time, could not fix the issue, wanted to have a "level 5" tech work on the problem, but for a fee.
  • AN ASUS PRODUCT IF CARE ABOUT WARRANTY, TECH SUPPORT, OR

Reviews around device (4.47 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around wifi (4.10 of 5)

  • Really nice router, The dual bands make it great to get strong wifi across the entire house

Reviews around speed (4.05 of 5)

  • I have only had it for about a month, but I can say that that from day one there was a significant improvement to signal and download/upload speeds
  • This seems like it should be a great router, but I'm just not getting decent WiFi speeds
  • Thought it would be better than my old router, getting slower speeds from my internet.
  • This is in the media / coat closet in the corner of the first floor and I get crazy range and speed compared to my old ASUS RT-ACRH13
  • Anyways now we're getting an excellent wifi connection in the house now and lightening fast speeds after hooking this little baby up from ASUS

Reviews around range (3.95 of 5)

  • 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.?!

Reviews around connection (1.95 of 5)

  • 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
  • Very easy to install, stable connection
