A: AnswerNo it's not you can go onto your web browser and type in 192.168. 1.1 to set up the router and set up 5g and 2.4g connections.Answered by Tinder
- A: AnswerI think you need a Fios modem. There are no coaxial connections to the router. A modem will have the coaxial input and one RS232 connector that will connect to the router; probably have a phone connector too. Call Verizon and ask for a modem. They will probably have the Arris modem. That is the one cable uses and is most popular. You can buy the Arris modem as well. If you buy one you'll have to give Verizon the mac address of the modem to activate and connect to their network. Its a learning curve for sure. But the router works great.

- A: AnswerNo, they are basic RGB as in the sense of gaming decor. There are 3 color modes you can choose from (with some customization in 2 of the modes) but they are strictly for aesthetics. They can also be turned completely off.

Excellent product! Have a 2,200 sq ft house and absolutely no dead spots now! Set up with the app was easy and only took 10 minutes! Have two Alienware computers hard wired, 5 devices connected to 2.5G and 10 devices connected to 5G with no issues! Highly recommend this product!

Not only does it provide great coverage, but the ASUS RT-AX82U also offers advanced WiFi 6 technology, ensuring optimized performance for all of my devices. Whether I'm streaming 4K content, gaming online, or video conferencing, I never have to worry about lag or buffering. Furthermore, the router's sleek black design looks fantastic in my home, and the setup process was quick and straightforward thanks to the intuitive ASUS router app. Overall, I highly recommend the ASUS RT-AX82U AX5400 Dual-Band WiFi 6 Router to anyone in need of a reliable and high-performance networking solution.

Above and beyond!
I dont typically write reviews on routers because typically they do what they're... expected to. Then... this thing comes along and it does a LOT more than ahays advertized. Including being able to plug my netgear ac1800v3 as a supply of wifi, and still be able to use air link for my quest no hassle, no real slowdown on my devices, and not to mention the game mode that really works. Oh and the list really does go on. Truth be told, I feel like i saved about 150 bucks with this thing, because it was faster than what reviews actuallt SAID. Faster! This thing is reliable, fast, secure, and includes that good wifi 6 mesh support. I highly recommend!
