ASUS RT-AX82U (AX5400) Dual Band WiFi 6 Extendable Gaming Router, Gaming Port, Mobile Game Mode, Aura RGB, Included AiProtection Pro Security, Instant Guard, VPN, AiMesh Compatible

Great modem
Works perfectly and is a big upgrade over my 13 year old router. Signal reaches all over my home. I can have multiple things running and still play online games without any lag

Great quality
I love ASUS products and this router didn’t disappoint. Very easy to set up and works very well. There is an app you can use on your phone or tablet which is very useful. Lots of customizable options. We have had this router for awhile now and no issues with connectivity.

SEEMS LIKE A WORTHWHILE UPGRADE
I just replaced all of my Netgear Home/Office LAN hardware and decided to give the Asus RT-AX82U a chance.Ease of setup – Very good. The auto configuration worked as expected but you can also set up the network manually if you choose. One area for improvement here is assigning SSID to your wireless channels. For some reason the setup names your 2.4 and 5.0 channels the same name even if you are trying to manually assign them during setup. This means that you must correct that if you want a unique broadcast SSID for each band.GUI – Once familiarized with the web GUI the interface if excellent. For the most part options are clearly presented in common sense easy to understand fashion. All “pro” tools are easily accessible including WAN, LAN, Wireless, Guest Network, QOS, etc. The best part about the web GUI is when making changes to the options. Never once locked up, failed to respond, or save and remember setting changes.2.4 Band – excellent signal strength throughout a 2,100 sq. ft. two story home.5.0 Band – nothing stellar, but not terrible either. All devices operating on the 5.0 band were able to connect and hold a signal. This included TVs, laptops, tablets, and cell phone in use from one corner of the residence to the other.Appearance – I didn’t buy this router for the gaming aesthetics, but for potential performance and ability to support 12 -18 devices connected simultaneously. It seems to handle that workload well. As long as I can game on my wired PC, while the wife or grandkids stream movies, videos, YouTube etc. everyone is happy. In that regard no complaints yet.

Vale a pena recomendo

I bought this as my main router to use, and down the road to purchase another ASUS router to create an AiMesh wireless system.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 192.168.1.1When 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!

Looks nice
