    • We connect about 3 laptops + 1 PS4, and still will get a good to fine speed
    • Absolutely wonderful product, great Anyenna coverage and super high speed which is by no means different from wired connection.
    • Rock solid for 2 months so far, high speeds, nothing to complain about.
    • If I need to discourage YouTube, I just slow the speed down to a trickle
    • However if you were like me and experiencing vastly slower wifi speeds than quoted from your provider, I would highly suggest this product
    • Again, I wasn't thinking along those lines when I bought this router, but since it has the option it would have been nice to have some decent speed, it's a huge bottleneck.
    • Great router, super fast speeds.
    • I got good speed but no

    • Really impressed with improved signal and speed
    • I've used it with cable and fiber internet and haven't had any issues getting full speed out of it.
    • Signal strength drops sometimes and speed is slower
    • If you need decent speed on a decent internet connection over moderate distance, OR if you need to extend the range of an existing wireless network by a few hundred feet, this is the ticket
    • After the last firmware update I've noticed an extreme drop in temperature and idle CPU speed - it used to run at 100% most of the time, now it is 1-5 % most of the time
    • The wireless range is very good and the wireless speeds are excellent
    • Don't buy a Asus router if you want fast internet speeds .
    • I have recently given up DirectTV and gone streaming to the whole house using Smart TV's and Roku after boosting up my Internet speed to 60mbps download speed
    • Poor speed and practically no coverage!

    • The speed is definitely an improvement, and the set up was very user-friendly
    • Excellent range, lightning fast speed, and never drops or resets connections
    • Great connection speed all around my apartment
    • Make sure you set up a 5ghz network through this router as it helps not only receive faster Download speeds but has let interference than a 2g or 2.4ghz frequency
    • I installed this router and it restricted my download speeds from
    • My desktop computer is plugged into the router with great speed

    • Used it as a Wireless Access Point rather than a range extender which I found had slower connection speed compared to an access point
    • Worked well for the first 2 months, although did require resetting a few times as it would have extremely slow download speeds on occasion.
    • What I missed were the QOS settings, which prioritized traffic on my slower internet speeds.
    • No drops in signal, relatively easy to set up and is able to send out my fast internet speed with little to no delay.
    • Love the setup and speed
    • I get a bit slower download speeds from the older version of asus router
    • Still, for the low price they boosted speed over a multi-hop route out 100 feet, and then right up a hill another 1k+ feet
    • I had to manually reset it at least once every day and even then I would not post good speeds
    • I disabled that, and now speeds stay fast

    • Great router, decent range, great speeds
    • I was able top get speeds of

    • Wireless speeds are good
    • Simply stated, the 2.4GHz band provides hateful througput / speed
    • Faster speeds, but still gets lag sometimes (when gaming)
    • works fine and speed is fast too.
    • this router has 2 different access points one a faster connection than the other perfect for when you are your owner and want all the speed and kick your guests down to a slower speed

    • ; caused random slow wireless speeds required full reboots to restore, Merlin's custom firmware has been running great
    • When devices are connected, speed is not great, and transferring files to devices on the LAN constantly fails.
    • I run speed tests on my network regularly and the speed I am getting with this router is somewhat faster than that of my old one
    • Uploading new firmware didn't do it and after a few Spectrum guys coming in, changing cables and work around stuff that never improved internet speed they finally stumbled upon the culprit
    • Worked fine for a month or so and then got really slow speeds (.3 megs)
    • so he would have full signal with slower speeds

    • Can be easily installed and good speed
    • Speed never exceeded 40mbps for download or upload when connected wirelessly
    • so normally I want to be plugged-in to the wall to get the best speeds possible

    • I get a good connection and much quicker speeds with this one so it can keep up
    • Speed is still incredible for an older technology piece of gear
    • This replaced a much older Linksys router and now I have decent wireless speed once again.
    • The range seems really good, and the speed is good enough.
    • We never really great speeds or range out of this thing like was advertised.
    • Now beware the speed of your internet is limited to your provider, so if you are only provided 15mb from your provider you will only get that 15mb
