After owning my nighthawk router for years, I decided to finally pull the plug and get a decent router that was not going to fail us miserably. Right off the bat, I noticed that the router wasn't bulky (a major plus) and it included a short ethernet cable to set it with my modem. The instructions were clear, concise and I was able to get it up and running within 5-10 minutes. Upon usage, I can definitely say that this router is reliable in terms of connectivity and pretty fast.
Features:
The router I purchased has four ethernet ports, one USB 3.0 port, fast wireless connectivity, and even a dedicated app which lets you customize settings to optimize performance for work, gaming, and even casual use. Within the app, you are also able to turn off the LED lights and change the Aura RGB on the router. Not to mention, it also has a security feature to protect against malicious attacks.
Performance:
The performance on this router is impressive; A major upgrade from what I had before. We tested its performance using various devices, including PCs, laptops, smart TVs, Gaming Consoles and it delivered a fast and reliable connection.
UE:
The router is easy to set up and use. Once everything is set up, you can use the mobile app-based to manage various settings, including parental controls and QoS optimization. Although, I would say that mobile app design can be a little confusing for those who are locating specific features since some just show icons with no text. Nonetheless, after messing with the app, you will be fine.
Conclusion:
I can definitely say that this router has impressed me, especially for the price. It's a great choice for people who want something simple yet reliable. Although the UI may throw some people off, this router is a great option for those who value performance and reliability. As time goes by, I can definitely keep this updated.

the HIDDEN secrets with this ROUTER...?

Great for gamers!
It's been 1 month+ since I've gotten this used gaming router, it was pretty much brand new for $120* instead of $200+. I had spectrum internet with 300MBps, it was more stable or would get more speeds. So far im loving it and I just switched to 1GIG fiber internet as well. with wifi I get between 600-700mbps download/upload. With direct ethernet connection I get 800+Mbps download/upload. I have a lot of devices connected and no issues what so ever. The rgb can be customized and can go with your gaming room/ pc setup. The app may seem confusing at first but it's easy to maneuver through once you get the hang of it. I'm glad I got this over the nighthawk.

One of the best Wi-Fi 6 wireless routers to own!

Make sure it’s Aimesh compatible by searching on ASUS website.
This router looks like a spaceship, and I love the shape, as I have a thing for NASA and space craft.
As for the GUI settings, it’s a make or break experience that will dictate, whether it’s positive, or negative.
I own about 10-12 devices I plan on connecting to this router (and the other ASUS router via Aimesh) on my 500Mbps cable line (thinking of upgrading to Gigabit speeds (1Gbps) one day.... no hurry.
500Mbps is overkill for a single person, heck, I even think 150-300Mbps is enough for one.
If you have a family of 3-6 people, then sure grab the 500Mbps service.
Again, whatever your needs are, most users are happy with 150, some need 300/500, then there’s those who want only the best, and fastest - 1Gbps, even 2Gbps is now available via pure fibre, holy moly!
As some of us know, the Galaxy Note 10 Plus/S10/Fold and iPhone 11/12/Macbook Pro/Mini (M1 chip) was the first devices to get the Wi-Fi 6 AX standard, and the performance is beyond satisfying!
I personally get 1.2 Gps (1200Mbps) from this AX5400 router on my Note10+
It’s been stable, reliable, and the speeds are insane.
Streaming content, whether it’s in 1080P/4K/8K, plays flawlessly.
Again, this is from the system settings I have tweaked over again, and again.
It took me 4-5 factory resets to make it right to my satisfaction.
Remember to save the settings to your mobile device, or your computer.
Everyone will have different outcomes, but one thing for sure, is to make it work for your needs.
Make sure your MODEM is in BRIDGE MODE, when connecting a router to it.
Power on the ASUS router, and don’t just plug in the Ethernet Cable (default cable is usually a Cat6, some users have Cat7).
I personally use Cat8 (latest cable) and it can handle some serious data bandwidth.
Should log you in automatically to the router via your smartphone, tablet, HDTV, or computer (first time) or type in manually if you need, router.asus.com or 192.168.1.0 or 192.168.1.1
When prompted to insert the cable to the WAN port (pay attention by looking at the colour, it’s usually blue, sometimes even red (depends on brand/model of router).
The LAN port(s) are usually yellow.
The router will automatically detect the modems connection.
Enter the routers SSID, and password ( and please, don’t use some lousy passwords people).
For those who can’t remember passwords, use a password manager on your computer/smartphone (lots of apps available for Android/ iOS/Windows or just temporary, on paper).
Once the SSID and password is done, click next, and enter the routers login name, and password (to prevent someone from accessing the routers GUI)
Many people don’t set this up, and you’re just asking for trouble.
If someone (like a hacker or just a rotten person) logs in the router, they will have access to your router, and they will lock you out, even the modem, altogether.
Their intentions is never good, and it’s such an inconvenience.
Once you have successfully setup the router, I would spend some time to learn how to use it by viewing YouTube, or Google.
There’s a ton of info on the net.
Make sure to document all the login/passwords for your modem, router, and it’s login page.
Once that’s all done, enjoy it, I sure am!
Hope this helps someone out there!

I upgraded to this from my old Asus AC86U and I was not dissapointed!
With work from home the new norm during these times, the upgrade has helped tremendously with connectivity issues possibly caused by the growing number of devices connected all at once. I also noticed slight improvements to latency when gaming.
The coverage is great all on it's own but I took it to another level by pairing this with my old router.
The ASUS feature is a godsent that doesn't render my old router useless. I now basically have my whole home covered in WiFi with 2 routers working hand in hand. I can't recommend this more.
