If you’re a gamer or someone who relies on connection speed.
I’m a gamer and remote worker, So I wanted Two things from this router. 1. was to get better Wifi and connection speeds/stability and with updated technology in general which means this thing has newer technology than what was available in my basic router that My ISP provides. 2. I needed options to see security and other features not available to me from my other router. So I got that and then some. With the ability to customize my router settings unlike with my ISP router I was able to setup the newer technology in the Menu. Which is the router settings page. Firefox worked perfectly and connected to the router immediately. The router setup was easy but I was cautious. It prompted to UPDATE FIRMWARE which I and almost everybody recommend just make sure theirs no other programs running on the PC. I used Asus recommendations on their website for best security. I couldnt mess with these settings on my old router because my ISP locked down the page. I would recommend this if you need a more reliable router than your ISP provides. Its much better, trust me. I instantly saw the speed increase and it doesnt buffer at all when watching TV or on PC. Very smooth. So the gaming is far better experience than before. Im getting better latency in games like MW3 which has terrible servers to begin with. Sure you can’t get rid of the packet burst completely because of this. But this helps very much and Im glad I bought this. In the future who knows I might get something better and use this for its mesh capability. So there is that option. But honestly I couldn’t ask for much more. Just make sure you research and turn off certain features that you dont need. Asus has recommendations that should help even in the settings page UI. Side note, I love MSI and ASUS boxes their nice quality.

Capable Little Router for Simple Needs
For anyone who just needs to connect to the Internet simply and securely, then this RT-AX57 will readily deliver. Either the companion app or web ui (both fully featured) will easily get things up and running, and the built-in, FREE antimalware offers an extra layer of protection if not peace of mind. Performance, for the most part, was great, although in my case, not perfect. Signal was strong throughout my small Cape Cod style house. The router was in the first floor, north side of my home, and my PC is on the second floor, south side. My PC was able to fully utilize the entire 500down/20up Mbs of my data plan. My Pixel 6, with its relatively weaker antennas, hovered roughly around 300/18 at similar distances.That was with QoS turned off, however. With QoS turned on, no device, including one wired PC, would go past 270/16. My brother and I game regularly, and halving download speeds for multi-gig updates for our games was supremely inconvenient. Turning QoS off to get higher bandwidth introduced frequent lag spikes. Due to this, I sadly decided to return the RT-AX57 and replaced it with a much more capable (and expensive) Asus XT8 two-pack. The XT8 consistently delivers about 480up/18down with QoS turned on, which is expected since QoS should prevent a single device from hogging the entire bandwidth.I also had issues with a couple of smart bulbs and a smart plug regularly disconnecting. They are older models, however, and from an off-brand that I bought from 5 Below. These issues have been fixed with the XT8, but anyone with smart devices from reputable big brands I doubt would have the same issues. Still another reason for me to return the RT-AX57.If I lived by myself and didn’t own a couple of off-brand smart appliances, I’d be plenty happy with the RT-AX57. It has all the perks of a basic WiFi 6 router (OFDMA, WPA3, enhanced MU-MIMO, 160Mhz, 1024 QAM, etc) with the addition of FREE antimalware, but the QoS and smart appliance issues killed it for me. I’d still recommend the RT-AX57, though, for households with modest needs.

Only lasted 9 months. DON’T BUY!.
I decided to try to save some money and buy my own modem and router instead of renting from spectrum. Well I must say that was a mistake.Spectrum did come and install the modem and the ASUS router for me. When I received it in December. The router ran fine up until a couple days ago. I’m not a tech guru when it come to modems and routers but I’m pretty good with problem solving and researching.I finally caved and called customer support. Which took 1 and a half hours to come to the conclusion of 2 options.1- pay for shipping to send it in and let them have a look at it.2- wait 24-48 hours and someone will call you to try to help.Bottom line is I’m taking this junk out and going back to spectrum.

Tengo un plan grande de Internet pero no le sacaba provecho por el módem base de la compañía, busque varias opciones y llegue a este por precio y calidad, ni una sola queja al contrario todo excelente! Y puedo disfrutar de jugar sin nada de lag al máximo tanto por cable como wifi y tener otros dispositivos sin restricción, tiene demasiada personalización aprovechen este producto

El Router cumple su función, si quieres ampliar tu banda ancha y hacer que te lleguen correctamente todos los megas de tu contrato es buena opción.Fuera de eso, les recomiendo plenamente comprar con la compañía que vende este router que en mi caso fue PC digital, tuve un problema con el envío y nunca dejaron de lado el seguimiento de mi paquete sin duda un ejemplo a seguir de otras empresas, siempre atentos a todo lo que ocurría 10/10

Tengo un módem DSL que tenia muchos problemas con el WIFI, con este quedo resuelto, tiene mas funciones que aun no eh probado.
