    These Asus aimesh routers are the way to go, kickbutt speeds, ease of use, an awesome app that gives full control! I have vpn and security control right in the app! I got my first one pretty cheap, and when i upgraded to this gaming router, i swiched my old one to an aimesh node and now have a pretty overkill network. My roommate is a fan though, we put the node in his room so he could hard wire his xbox, his speed were amazing!

    I love the look and design of the router. So far, it seems very reliable, but I’m not noticing a huge difference in performance or stability compared to the WiFi 5 router I was previously using that was provided by my ISP. Maybe I just need to tinker it with a bit and test other things, but I do love the settings and features it comes with. Also love that I can use it as either a WiFi mesh point or access point if I decide to purchase another one.

    If you're in the market for a good router, future-proof router that can handle demanding home networks, the ASUS AX5700 (RT-AX86U) is definitely worth a look. This router blends high-end performance with advanced customization and solid reliability—especially great for gamers, streamers, and smart home enthusiasts.And i like how easy it is to turn off the led light on it

    This is my second time buying an ASUS router. My first one is still up and running and I've had it for about 9 years. Of course it's a different model. After reading up on this model I decided to buy it of course through Best buy, as I live in California and I needed to purchase this for my daughter in Texas. It was very easy to purchase this through my BestBuy app and have my daughter pick it up at a Best buy near her. Asus is very easy to set up with thier software and easy to access the software for their routers. As she set it up I was on the phone with her in case she had questions as I have been teaching her tech for many years. It was very easy for her to set up and adjust everything she needed. The range on the router is very good all throughout her house. Definitely a big thanks to Best buy for the ability to make this happen.

    I have always chosen the other brand which shall not be named, but after encountering 3 failures in the past 2 years, I've decided to give ASUS a try. This has been one of the easiest router I've set up, with the Asus App everything is just seamless. I've had this model for over a year or so now, and it still funsctions really well. I am really impressed. I also decided to get the Asus RT-AX82U and set up a MESH in my house. Setup was really easy, everything went thru the app. I thought I'd run into some problems like conflicts or whatever. But the app made everything seamless,..! I am officially an ASUS fan,..! Highly recommended,...

    The router was incredibly easy to set up and, in fact, way better than the Netgear Nighthawks I previously used. I'm tech savvy, so my experience might be different from someone less knowledgeable about setting up networks, but this might be my go-to router from now on in all setups. 10/10

    I have had 2 other Asus routers. They were awesome but both died in less than 2 years. Then I chose a TP-Link. Iy was good but wanted to try Asus again. This one does not seem to be as good. I can only connect to look at setup thru a wired connection. Some TV's seem to buffer more. We have a good fiber optic internet service, so it isn't that. Also, the range was advertised as much more than the TP-Link, but is less in reality. My overall verdict has yet to be decided.

    Now getting 640 mbps download speed over WiFi on 5ghz leg. Getting 900 on desktop (only have 800 service from Comcast) super happy with this router, head and shoulders above my previous one. Paired it with arris surboard SB8200 modem. Tip for setup, use all the same WiFi names and passwords and your devices automatically work.

    It seems to work just fine. I like the fact that it was designed to stand up on a sturdy base and only has 3 antennae to bump into rather than 4 or 5. It has a pretty cool looking design as well.
