ASUS RT-AXE7800 Tri-band WiFi 6E Extendable Router, 6GHz Band, 2.5G Port, Subscription-free Network Security, Instant Guard, Advanced Parental Control, Built-in VPN, AiMesh Compatible, Smart Home, SMB

This ASUS RT-AX88U Router is replacing a Netgear Nighthawk r7000 router. So far, the router is handling everything that I need it to handle. I use the router mainly for streaming, which this thing can handle just fine. I have about 25 pieces of equipment attached to the router (wired and wireless) and it has no issues handling them all. That is the reason I upgraded, as the Nighthawk r7000 could not handle all the network equipment that I had a once and I had to shut off some barely used equipment off so it would not affect streaming or conference calls. The Asus router has basically the same range as the Netgear Nighthawk r7000, it is not any worse or better. I ended up extending the range by using the old Netgear Nighthawk r7000 as a repeater bridge. But I do like the fact that the ASUS has AiMesh, which I have not tested yet, as I do not have another AiMesh enabled router, but I like the fact that I have that option. I do not have any WIFI 6 enabled equipment so I cannot test that, but I like the future proof of the router. The built in file share server, which I utilize a Portable 2TB drive for. I cannot decide if I like the Netgear or the Asus way of handling the file share from the portable drive.

Instructions inside were terrible... no detail. I had to research for a new tech support number, found it, called it. Essentially I was told the only way to get the wireless wifi router to work was to hard wire it! Uhm.... thats not why I spent that kind of money. Returned.

Great performance and range. Blows away any router that I’ve had before. Great interface as well.

Great signal. MESH connection is intermittent. Also, Some minor issues with staying connected to the modem..Love the ability ti create my own VPN. Customer service via email is a little slow with little information. They want you to call. Have . not tried Twitter.

The router was used and returned - it had an LPN number on the packaging

Purchased in September 2019 and it died today (May 2021). I expected it to last more than two years. It sat in the same cool, dry spot the entire time and was exposed to no trauma. Worked great, until it didn’t, which is disappointing.

Great router. Doubled the speed to my wireless devices. Easy to use. Great software package.

Update: 5G will work for about a day then drop completely now until restart. This thing is only a couple months old - would not recommend at all.

es el segundo router que tengo de ASUS y es una maravilla, no es barato, pero definitivamente es una inversión a largo plazo que bien lo vale y as este por el wifi 6. pude probarlo vs un Tp-link igual wifi 6 y esta mucho mejor el ASUS, no se comparan

The router is nice, fast, state of the art--but there is a serious issue with the slower 2.4 ghz band--I have only a few devices that default to the older band, and they all have trouble connecting and staying connected. Only a power-cycle on the router seems to fix it, and then it will come back. I tried everything I found online and it still does not work reliably. I will keep a bit longer, but I might still return this and go back to my older asus TMC1900 router--at least it worked--even if it wasnt quite as fast as the high end speed of the rt ax88u
