My first ASUS router was a freebie courtesy of T-Mobile. While that router got software updates, I was really impressed with its software. It was fairly end-user focused (consumer routers _usually_ get this right, with some notable exceptions, TP-Link!), and a few of them are relatively complete in terms of more advanced features someone like me would be looking for as well. The ASUS software was pretty friendly, only had a couple of quirks in the more advanced sections where more advanced users would immediately notice what didn't work and why not, and was generally very full featured. If you've still got one of those old "T-Mobile TM-AC1900" branded RT-AC68Us in service, you need to stop using it. The things are dangerously insecure today, ASUS knows it, and I've been told the fault for that lies with T-Mobile, but rumors may not always be true. What is true is that if you try to hack your one working router and screw up a firmware downgrade, you'll wish you'd bought its replacement first. No, I don't have first hand experience this time, but I've made mistakes before, so keep reading! I liked the ASUS software before, and it's only improved since. One of the cool little features it has now is a security checkup on your router that performs a bunch of sanity checks. Even if you're not a n00b, I really suggest looking this over, because you might have missed a setting. For example, it's going to tell you that WPS is turned on by default and suggest you turn it off. It'll also tell you if certain things are enabled you might have turned on deliberately, just to make sure you know what you're doing if you have them on. (Or if something or someone turned them on without your knowledge…) This brings us to AiMesh and WPA2. If this router has one point of disappointment for me, it's that AiMesh requires WPA2 and cannot be used with WPA3. One of the major reasons I moved to a WiFi 6 router is that if you think your network is secure with WPA2, I have a whole bunch of bridges to sell you, real cheap. WPA2 is about as secure as writing your network password next to your address on a billboard along the nearest highway. Okay, that's not quite true—WEP was that insecure, WPA2 at least requires a couple of minutes to hack your wifi password. But only a couple of minutes, realistically. And if you want to use AiMesh, WPA2 is the best you get for encryption, sorry. That's because probably nothing before WiFi 6 devices will support WPA3, and part of ASUS's marketing is that you can turn your old WiFi 5 (802.11AC) router into a mesh router extension. You can, but because of that, WPA3 is off the table, even if you're not using any WPA2-only routers in your AiMesh. I don't need AiMesh in this location, so I can just use WPA3 and be done with it. And that means the router's OS will warn me every time I set my WPA3 password that I should consider WPA2 instead for AiMesh and greater device compatibility. No, no thank you. Granted, WPA3 denial of service is possible, but mitigations exist for that … you just do what you can. Everyone wants more security and to also at the exact same time transmit every single byte of data they want secured over the airwaves and just hopes nobody intercepts them. *shrug* I get why they're doing it in a home-focused product, but realistically homes are going to be all WPA3-capable sooner than many businesses will be, most likely. I'm not going to let that affect my review of this otherwise very nice product. Oh, another nice feature I almost forgot to mention! Support for more than one guest network! You can (should) put all of your smart devices on the same guest network which cannot talk to your home network computers. That way when one of those things that never gets an update gets hacked, the most it can do is play with your light bulbs, without the ability to use that as a way to start attacking your computers.

I just set this up today, so as of right now my review is only going to be re: the signal strength and ease of setup, plus the one problem I faced when trying to connect. I had no issues with the setup instructions for the hardware; if you can read, you can probably handle that part. I downloaded the router management app to my iPhone using the QR code provided on the instructions. It was a simple process to create a login for it and get the router set up with a password. It pretty much walks you through what to do so I'm not sure how anyone could mess that part up either. After that I connected both my iPhone and iPad to WiFi with no trouble. The problem was with my laptop, which is a bit older (I'm not actually sure how old, if that tells you anything). It couldn't find either of the two signals (I separated the 2.5 and the 5.0 when setting up), no matter how close it was to the router. My laptop is running Windows 10, just for the record, but the issue was (I believe) the network adaptor. It has an Intel Wireless-N 7260. The laptop itself does not have an ethernet port so I had to take it to my father's house and use his wifi to make sure the driver for the network adaptor was up to date - it was. The Intel app that checks all your Intel parts for needed updates found nothing to update, in fact. Luckily, I remembered someone in the comments on here saying that he'd started having issues and turning off the Wifi6/802.11ax Mode helped. And indeed, the minute I disabled it in the app, my laptop started to pick up the 2.5ghz signal, nice and strong. I am one floor up and wall or two away from this router, and have a full strength signal. For anyone else who had this problem, here is where you can disable that (I'm using the iOS app on an iphone so your route to this setting may be different): in the app, tap the Settings gear in the bottom right corner. Under Settings, go down to the Wifi section and tap that, then Wireless Settings in there, and then Network Settings last. At the top of this menu you will see "802.11ax Mode" is enabled by default. Disable it and then hit "apply" in the top right corner. Wait a few minutes and see if your device is picking up the signal after that. If not, you may have a different issue. I am posting this "review" right away in the hopes of helping someone else with the same problem. I will note that there is an information button next to the disable tab for 802.11ax Mode that informs you "Some older WiFi clients and IoT devices may have connectivity issues or difficulty connecting to 802.11ax WiFi APs. If you experience such issues after enabling 802.11ax Mode, please check with your device manufacturer to ensure your device has the latest software, firmware or driver version." So, there you have it. If you are hellbent on using 802.11ax Mode with a PC that has the Intel Wireless-N 7260 installed, you're probably going to have to upgrade your network adaptor, because there is no update for it that will make that happen. If I have any other issues I'll come back and update this...still need to connect the TVs and the game systems!
