Great Router
To start I want to say that if you have any kind of security system or other Wi-Fi going in the background you are going to have connectivity issues. And that doesn’t matter what router you have. I had the Asus axe16000 and that’s why I bought this cuz it was having connectivity issues on the 2.4 GHz and I thought it was a router problem. Then when the BE98 Pro had the same issues, I started digging. This router kept disconnecting from the 2.4 GHz Network that’s if it would connect at all to certain items as well. After 3 days of troubleshooting I finally figured out that the Eufy Homebase 3 was the cause. I just got some new cameras that hooked up directly using the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi directly from the Homebase 3 basically canceling that radio out. All of the radios 5gz and 6ghz worked. When I unplugged the Homebase 3 everything worked. So now I have the cameras hooked up directly to the router and got rid of the Homebase 3. No more problems.This is my third ASUS router in 10 years and it’s the best. What I really like is they went back to the lights in the front so you can see what’s going on clearly. The adjustable antennas make it really great for getting that signal in all different directions. Something all the competitors don’t do for some reason. The Guestnet Pro feature where you can separate the Iot devices on their own subnet away from the original Network is a must and works great. Also something the other competitors don’t have. It also separates the subnet for real security. Super fast speeds, no difference between Wifi and Ethernet

Wifi Drops Devices
I don’t normally write reviews but I wanted to share my thoughts on this one because I was so excited for it. I did return this to Amazon slightly after the 30 day return period because they made an exception but this router was such a disappointment.I don’t know if the hardware was faulty or if the software was just junk but this router could not keep devices connected. I have quite a few IoT devices as well as general of the mill devices like tablets, iPad, and phones. All PC devices are hardwired via ethernet either directly to the router or via network switches. Ethernet devices worked flawlessly (should be standard, not something we hope for in a high-end router anyway but you’d be surprised.)However, Wi-Fi is another story. While the newest firmware allowed you to enable MLO, nothing worked properly. MLO or not. Devices, regardless of IoT or my Samsung S24 Ultra, were randomly dropped. My Alexa devices would constantly get kicked off and an error message that a wrong credentials were entered. My pool equipment which is a pain to power cycle through would not last 3 hours before the connection to the equipment would get dropped. I was honestly floored, my last few Asus routers have been a little rough but none like this. What’s worse, little devices like my cat’s litterbot 4 or water fountain wouldn’t even connect to Wi-Fi. If I used my tablet in my bedroom, I could barely get 10Mbps compared to my previous router. This thing just isn’t it.I have a strong bias to Asus and normally love their products, but the last few years have been rough. Between spotty hardware, atrocious software, and lackluster motherboards on pc builds. I’m starting to shy away. I picked up the Netgear Orbi 970, router only, since I don’t need the mesh and haven’t been happier. Everything connects, no dropped devices, full speed almost anywhere in the house, and I get speeds equivalent to my fiber connection. Hope this helps some peeps looking at this router.

Clairement le produit est de qualité et les performances sont au rendez-vous. J’ai utilisé mon ancien routeur ASUS pour faire un AiMesh et ça fonctionne super bien. Je recommande donc sans hésiter ! Important de noter que seul les appareils récents pourront maximiser le potentiel de ce produit avec l’activation du Wi-Fi 7 et la fonctionnalité de Multi-Link Operation (MLO).

Es un router con distintas funciones, puede emplearse en modo bridge sin problema o como equipoPrincipal, es algo grande y voluminoso y ninhay forma de empotrarlo en la pared a menos que hagas adaptaciones, pero no deja de ser robusto, bien contruido estético y cumple enteramente su función de optimizar laRed ya sea inalámbrica por sus distintos canales o mediante Ethernet. La aplicación de gestión podría ser más vistosa y agradable visualmente pero cumple su propósito
