Easy to setup

Been using this for a couple of weeks now. Found the basic settings easy to setup.. once set up you can then tweak the router for more in-depth router settings for gaming, qos etc.You can monitor the router via an app, change many settings via the app, but for advance settings, I would suggest using the web browser and log into the router..Wi-fiI found that not all the features of Wi-fi 6 are turned on automatically, so you may want to go into the advance settings and adjust them to your environment to get the best out of the router and it’s Wi-fi features.After tweaking I found an improvement over there original settings in speed across networks.. and an improvement over the router it replaced (synology)Also there is a built in speed checker and have tested the BB speed.. I have gained a couple of MEG over the previous router.. maxing the line speed to 72meg download and 18.9 meg upload.Pings are very low which is good.. and great for gaming. 5.6ms (internet)You can set up different profile Modes to suit the usage of the router and what connected devices are using the internet for. Eg GAMING, streaming etc..The router comes with internet protect built in and it’s free, unlike some other manufacturers..It has many features, to many to talk about..FINAL THOUGHTSWith all the inbuilt features and there is many, I am pleased with the router, it can be easily setup for all your needs, has future proof high speed lan port, new Wi-fi 6 ,wpa3, and reliable Wi-fi speed, offers great coverage and can connect to other ASUs routers to offer further coverage and expansion of Wi-fi network through a AImesh setup..I have have received no drop outs and it work great in a gaming network.. several different consoles are connected with ease.. it has many adjustable features and gaming modes and dedicated gaming lan port…I would seriously recommend this as an option for anyone thinking of an upgrade to there current router and want to have good connection and also gaming options.The unit also has fast usb 3 ports, so you can store files etc on a separate storage device..I am still to play around with this..Overall 9/10Pls note for a more dedicated gaming router, you would be paying a significantly more, than what you are paying here for a good gaming router that’s future proof. Only thing missing is Wi-fi 6E, but these type of routers with the new 6GHz bands aren’t out yet and you could easily be paying several hundreds more for the extra Wi-fi band..Currently there isn’t a lot of devices that support 6GHz band, so best save your money and consider buying this router..

A good slid router - so far.

Replaced an RT-3200 AC router which although was unsupported now - still worked well. Waited a couple of weeks before review as wanted a balanced study.Connected to a ONT provided by ISP and added to existing AiMesh. This router is a chunky router which has been working fine since installation.Pros:Easy to setup - has a wizard.Links to existing AiMesh system - but will suggest a drop in WPA level as if like me (you have a WPA2) it will have to drop for compatibility.Uses the same ASUS App (on mobile devices) to manage as previous ASUS router. Web interface is best and has more options available.Plenty of VPN options - OpenVPN, Wireshark etc. Also has propriety VPN called "Instant guard" but haven't had time to test as yet.Has VLAN options inbuilt for iOT isolation etc. Plenty to play with.Wifi range is pretty good, not massively better than previous but does seem to have more wifi options.Cons:Can still disconnect all clients when making some (non client related) changes - which is annoying but has occurred on all ASUS routers to date.One Amazon Kindle (2.4ghz) had issues connecting when AX was enabled on this router, unsure why but AX was disabled - as not currently using the 160hz stuff just yet anyway. I hoping a Firmware will fix this.Conclusion:A solid router (tested for over two weeks now) which is very similar to my old one however has a lot more grunt (4 core etc.) which has plenty of scope for network growth.

No more virgin latency issues

like many others that have left reviews I have bought this Ax86U to replace the shockingly bad super hub 3 which may work well in a home with a low number of devices but in the modern home with everything connected the superhub is under powered.Step in AX86U this device has made everything just work better on my home networkthe range is far better my router is situated at the front of my 60s house and I now get 5ghz wifi connection 100ft down the end of my garden! speeds at range consistently high also! I get 200Mbps internet to my router and get 110Mbps at 130ft away (on a new wifi 6 device this would probably be faster!)the main reason I bought this router was due to terrible latency issues I was suffering with with the superhub 3, the Ax86U has resolved this issue completely its a far more powerful router which is able to handle higher number of connected devicesif your into your gaming the router has a selection of popular games profiles which you can apply to the router to open the ports for a specified device on your network meaning you get the best connection while gamingto get the very best from this router it does require some technical knowledge in configuration but theres lots of help out there to help you configure it, personally installing merlin firmware on the router improved the performance and configuration tremendously£200 may sound a lot for a router a device internet providers give you free but with everything connected to the internet now days its worth the investment you need the power of these higher spec routers and it will last you years. like everything you get what you pay for would you expect a £60 PC to perform as well as a £600 one?
