I needed a new router as my current one was limiting my speed. I had no question about getting an Asus. Every computer I've ever built I've used an Asus motherboard. Very good quality.I read over their directions first to be familiar with it. I chose not to follow the automated setup via the link they give you since I already know how to do it, so I can't comment on the ease of using that. I simply connected the router to my modem and my computer and opened a browser to access the router interface. I reviewed all the settings, without changing much at all. My main pc connects by ethernet since the router sits on top of it. I've also connected a laptop , a pc in another room and my phone all via WIFI with no trouble at all. Great router for a great price! I've had it one month with no problems!

I have the RT-AX82U as my main router and this one (RT-AX1800S) set-up in media bridge mode.Set-up on both was super easy. Asus did a very nice job on the GUI. Both AX82U and this AX1800S work seamlessly together.Was a Linksys fan for many years but Asus has me sold now.

It's been flawless. Good signal, pretty easy to set up and install.Asus is a world class brand, as you may know. The price was the best for the feature set and speed, from a trusted brand. Internet interactions with Asus during set up were clear and efficient.Highly recommended.

So after having this for a few months I can say I love this thing! It has great coverage over my whole place (1800 sq ft) and it was super easy to set up. The instructions were clear, the app is easy to navigate, it's always working and I'm never having connection problems. Overall if you're looking into getting a router then I would highly recommend this one. The options are amazing for the money you spend on it. I would for sure buy it again!

Not a bad router! Good, fast consistent speeds. I'm usually getting anywhere from 800-900mbps. The wifi 6 isn't the best but, once configured; everything works like a charm. 🤌Even got a 2nd one as a Mesh Device so I can connect thru lan so I don't have to run a cable thru my house and gotta say; impressed. The speeds thru the mesh device and thru LAN; I'm getting 450-550mbps! Impressed!

This is a good router, especially if you use the 5GHz wireless bandwidth. Unfortunately, I needed the 2.4GHz wireless bandwidth for my security camera, which didn't meet my expectations. The 2.4GHz usually covers a wider area compared to 5GHz, but in this case, it did not, and the bandwidth was also low. For example, my line is 250Mbps from ICS, and despite trying multiple speed tests (with only one device connected), I never got more than 45/50Mbps. Using the 5GHz bandwidth, I got up to 240Mbps. Sadly, I need to return this, but if someone doesn't need to use 2.4GHz, this router might be very good for them.Besides this, I never understood the "Subscription-Free Network Security & Built-in VPN" part. I never received any software or link regarding that.

Bonjour,Je tiens à dire en premier lieu que le produit est d'excellente facture et permet de s'adapter à une multitude de configuration, sauf à la mienne et à tout ceux qui veulent se connecter via se routeur au réseau Mesh NordVpn ( a ne pas confondre avec le système Mesh de Asus qui lui est fonctionnel) .Si vous voulez utiliser seulement la protection NordVpn derrière ce routeur cela fonctionne sans problème après l'avoir paramétrée.La protection NordVpn activé sur ce routeur ne permet pas d'intégrer ce routeur au réseau Mesh NordVpn lié à votre compte ...Donc ce routeur reste invisible dans le réseau Mesh NordVpn de votre compte et reste donc inaccessible pour un accès distant.Pour finir, certain PC portable comme Mon HP EliteBook 840 ne peuvent pas se connecter au nouveau Wifi de ce routeur !!!De ce fait, Retour à l'expéditeur...NB: en cas de refus de publication AMAZON, merci de préciser CLAIREMENT le motif...

You can verify everything written here is true with a quick google search. Talking to you, Amazon.While ASUS does source some production to China, ASUS is a Taiwanese company and the sticker on the router states “Made in Vietnam”. I’m inclined to believe that. The product origin on this page states “China” but I doubt, and hope, that’s not true. You may not think it matters, but it does more than you might know.Most consumers only care about speed and affordability when it comes to routers, but it should be security at the top of the list. All your data flows through your router, including personal and financial data. Security flaws in your network can also affect neighboring networks around you. If you buy a cheap router based on speed capability alone with security flaws built in, either intentionally or not, you’re basically paying to be hacked, or for your neighbors to be, or possibly unknowingly being a conduit for attacks on your entire country. It has happened in the past, it’s still happening, and will continue to happen.Most routers today are produced in China. Even companies based in the US produce there and it’s very hard to find one that’s not made there. The problem with routers made in China is that ultimately, businesses there are controlled by the CCP government, not the business owner. This allows their government to implement whatever they want in their exported tech and products. It’s why some of their tech companies like Huawei have been banned in numerous countries. Routers made in China from brands like Wavlink which are sold in big retail stores across the US have been found to contain hidden back doors and intentional security holes and vulnerabilities to malware like Mirai. Basically open doors for hackers. Some of these back doors have been used in the past to launch cyber attacks (Mirai botnet) on the US which caused major network outages, as well as in other countries. From a cybersecurity perspective, these look a lot like “trial runs” to me. But speculation and paranoia aside, why take the chance on inviting that kind of tech into your home? It wasn’t an isolated, one time event when these back doors were discovered, and it was with various routers and companies out of China. Again, all this is verifiable with the slightest amount of research using credible sources.I have tried some routers made in China. I could tell they had horrible security just by using the app, or during setup. One was capable of remote access, yet the option to turn it on or off was non existent. It didn’t even ask during set up and the option was nowhere in the app. Remote access should always be turned off, unless you need to access your router from outside your home, which is rarely needed for the average user. If it’s on, it’s just an unnecessary access point open for hackers to attempt access. It might have been possible to check by connecting directly to it using the Web UI, but instead I just returned it and went on the hunt for non-Chinese routers. It took a lot of research since there aren’t many, but finally landed on this one.I am much, much happier with this ASUS router and it seems very security focused! There are numerous security options available in the app, and also asks you about remote access during set up. It has AI Protection by Trend Micro built in (included free of charge) which constantly monitors your network for viruses and intrusions and even blocks harmful websites. You can also monitor all connections and traffic through the app. There are even additional apps you can download for more functionalities.As for speed, WiFi 6 is awesome. This thing is lightning fast to my previous ISP provided router and much more stable. If you’re not familiar with WiFi 6, it’s not really a speed booster. It provides a more stable connection though, even in very signal-congested areas such as apartments or offices where there’s numerous routers and networks overlapping and causing interference. This more stable connection will often times yield higher speeds. Your PC and various hardware must be WiFi 6 capable to utilize it, but there are cheap and affordable USB adapters available to enable it on your PC if it’s not already capable. Aside from that, the 5GHz signal is stable and fast, even without WiFi 6. 2.4GHz is not bad at all either. There are options in the app to monitor what’s connected at all times and you can even limit bandwidth to certain devices, or ban them from connecting completely if you want to streamline your connections.There are a lot more features to this router, which are easily accessed from the app which appears extremely robust compared to the anemic apps I used with the Chinese routers. Those seemed like toys compared to this. I haven’t tried Ai Mesh, but it is yet another useful capability of this router.Completely happy with this router based on speed, stability, capabilities, and most of all, security!

I’m quite happy with this ASUS router as I’ve used other products from them for years and have never had any issues. I loved that it updates its software settings and that you can even control the led brightness. It is pretty good for a medium size home. I would definitely recommend this product! :)
