  • This thing is a total beast.
This thing is a total beast. I have a very, extremely small amount of bandwidth for the time being. DSL: 1.62Mbps down, .49Mbps up, which is pathetic to say the least, but it's the best option I have considering my location. My problem with my old D-Link router was that the QoS engine (Quality of Service) was supposed to limit the download speeds of my Xbox One (which eats the full bandwidth for a crunchy snack when downloading games), so other devices such as 2 smart phones could stay connected to the WiFi by limiting bandwidth my Xbox uses. Instead the D-Link decided to just drop my Xbox connection so much that it just signed my profile out and stopped all the installations saying there was no internet connectivity until I went into the Xbox settings and told it to connect again. Normally this wouldn't be that big of an issue but when downloading games it takes me 4-5 nights to finish Xbox One games, and when the D-Link disconnects it makes downloading games like Master Chief collection take 2 weeks+ for me. When I got everything setup for this new router I noticed a marked improvement on micromanaging the finite bandwidth. I was able to actually stream videos from youtube and watch news reports on msn all while keeping that game download for my Xbox One going. It took about 4-5 minutes before the router measured how much of the bandwidth your connected device needed but it worked flawlessly shortly thereafter. I can now go to work and leave my Xbox One downloading for a few days while others that stay home can still get some of the bandwidth they need. Another thing to note is I bought this for the WTFast gaming network to try to get better ping times for my Xbox so I can enjoy multiplayer, as they advertise here that it's built into this router. What it doesn't tell you (at least that I couldn't easily find) is that you have to pay for the WTFast services, which equates to about 6$ monthly for basic and 10$ for premium. I just didn't want others to find this as a surprise so I figured I would mention it. *EDIT - While the WTFast services are paid services, you have to create a trial account for the initial setup from the routers web GUI. It will allow you to create a 1-device lifetime access to this service, which I chose my Xbox One's mac address. If you want more than 1 device you have to pay monthly for that additional device. It is confusing because it says my trial account will deactivate in 14 days. I will update this review at that time to see if it forces me to subscribe to keep my 1 device. I followed all provided instructions in the booklet so it should be active. The actual Wifi Signal this thing puts out is amazing. I have full connectivity from nearly every device in this house, and it wouldn't surprise me if the router gives me a tan after prolonged exposure to the wireless signals it generates. I realize that I'm only scratching the surface of what this router can truly do, but for what I paid for it, I'm quite happy that it resolved most of my download issues with my Xbox One. Now I just have to be patient and wait till my ISP comes with fiber to the house to start streaming 4k content to my Samsung UHD tv! ... show more

  • Great router, not for amateurs, expensive but worth the money
Was a little apprehensive spending this much on a home router, but our previous well-rated TP Link product was struggling to handle our 17-device household and my son was complaining about Xbox lag. Looked at this, some of the less expensive ASUS and Netgear kit, and the more expensive gaming version of this product. Settled on this and glad we did. Out of box experience was so-so -- nice packaging, feels like a quality product, but physical assembly and initial setup took some time. The icons around the indicator lights are really small, and the antennas took some time to get seated properly. Bootup took a few minutes to correctly set up and talk to my in-house cable modem. So that all was a bit frustrating. But once it made its basic WAN connections, the features of this router really shined. Range - outstanding. We had a hardwired access point elsewhere in our large, old-construction home due to distance and interference issues with the home. I've turned off the AP because this router powers through bricks and concrete for at least 150 foot range. It does support ASUS' new AIMesh protocol so you can use an older ASUS router as an AP and it self-configures. Nifty idea, and one reason we picked this router, but turns out we don't need it. SmartConnect - this is a tri-band router with one 2.4GHz and two 5GHz channels. It can be set up as three independent networks or you can "automatically combine" either all three or just the 5GHz channels. The router then moves traffic across the radios as needed for bandwidth. We have some legacy 802.11a/b equipment in the house so set the 2.4 up for that and SmartConnect for the 5GHz. Seems to work very well. Handles 3 1080p video streams and Xbox traffic simultaneously with no problems whatsoever. Configurability - ASUS tends to write great router software that is highly flexible. Simple example: setting up a DMZ for the Xbox, I needed to designate a static IP address for the Xbox. Doing this while the kids were asleep, the Xbox was not on. No matter, the DHCP routing table has a "offline devices" menu to pick the old Xbox MAC address off the history to designate for static IP. There's a ton of little features like that that make this router a pleasure to work with for technically proficient users. The diagnostic tools are outstanding, with very detailed network analysis and monitoring available. It is a lot like Adobe Professional vs.. MS Paint. You can do a lot with this router -- VPN Client support, selective IP parental controls, remote admin, iOS admin app -- but it's got a lot of controls that are well-organized for the tech admin but confusing to a newbie just looking for the WPS button. Speed - been noticeably faster than our previous 802.11ac compatible equipment. Xbox loads updates faster, AppleTV movies start with less than a second lag, backup jobs run quickly. It has only been a week so far but rock solid stability along with that speed. Gaming - it is advertised as having access to the WTFast network. This is a specialist use case, we found, as that network only supports a handful of gaming game/console combinations so far, mostly adult combat games like Battlefront. No Fortnite console support, which made it a non-starter in our house. We looked at the gaming version of this router. It has more internal memory and a little more speed, but it was significantly more expensive. We decided this would likely be fine for our household, and that has been the case. Very high-end professional gamers might benefit from the upgrade to the ROG version, but I think most regular families will be fine with this. ... show more
