    • I am done with ASUS routers!
Style: AC1900 Router | 3x3 | AiMesh
I like ASUS products when it comes to computer hardware like motherboards and graphic cards and all my computers are built with their components for the last 6 years. But for routers, I am done with them. I bought their super expensive AC5300 one which worked for about 3 months, then my wifi network disappeared and I had to send it for repair. It was returned weeks later with no explanation. During this time, I used the cheapest Netgear router available with no issue. Actually it was working so well that I kept it online while my expensive AC5300 was gathering dust. Then, I moved out so I thought this would be the perfect time to rebuild my network with the high end 5300. I updated the firmware and discovered the 5300 was supporting AiMesh. Since the new house is pretty big, I thought this would be a great feature. So I bought the Asus AC1900 to extend the range of the AC5300. Big mistake. The latest firmware is buggy as hell, both on 5300 and 1900 model. As for the AIMesh, I was never able to have the two routers talking to each other despite following precisely the procedure from the ASUS website and manual. I realized that ASUS router firmware support is so poor that several alternative solutions were developed by enthusiasts to offset the many bugs suffered by the official firmwares. But using them would mean loosing the AiMesh feature. So that's it. I am done. I remembered my cheap Netgear router that was working so well and how much all my wired network is made of their sturdy switches and hubs... I went full netgear with their super fancy Nighthawk X6S AC4000 and X6S EX8000 Mesh extender. WebUI is a dream of reactivity and it took me 2 minutes to pair the mesh extender. Sorry ASUS, I love your PC products, but I am so disappointed with your network ones. ... show more

    • Where has this ASUS RT-AC68U router been all my life??
Style: AC1900 Router | 3x3 | AiMesh
Wow. Goodbye Netgear. Hello ASUS RT-AC68U AC1900 router! In fairness to Netgear, the netgear r6300 I have had for years has been a stable product (with the right settings, however) and it was paired with a Arris SB6141 Cable modem, but lightning took both of them away. I went for the combo C7000 Netgear latest and greatest I wanted to like it but it lagged and had 20 second drops of connectivity. Unstable. Unacceptable new product with bugs was my experience and a lot of others had the same experience too. Reviews for Asus were surprisingly good and never had owned an ASUS router before but the reviews were so over the top I had to find out. So I ordered my new Arris SB6141 Cable modem (because it was rock solid for me before) and the RT-AC68U. First impressions... wow nice build quality. Very impressive. Real removable antenna just like a real AP pro class. It just felt good and looked great. All the machining and connections looked above grade from any other manufacturers in the consumer space I have seen. A real "PRO-SUMER" product. My background is I.T. and I am in this space so to impress me was not an easy feat. Our use case for this router is: NO cable... all streaming house... using Two Roku, 6 laptops, one of them dedicated for streaming Xfinity TV-GO stations, a Wii game console, Grace Digital Mondo Internet Radio player, HP laserjet on wifi, oven on wifi, garage doors on wifi, heated tile floor thermostat on wifi (for the weather), and 6 smart phones (2 iphones, 4 android). Plus a "lab" in my office using wifi devices (Wifi scanners, etc) for job related activities. We often could be streaming roku channels (ESPN, FoxGo, etc) at the same time as Fox news on another tv, with Roku netflix upstairs as well, plus any of the household (or all) could be streaming online youtube, amazon video prime or facetime with friends. So you can see its a heavy usage situation. My router right now has 21 devices connected at one time from the list mentioned above. Back to the review... On powering up and connecting to this Asus the setup was so easy it was amazing with the wizard. I was online in seconds. The interface was amazing... Wow. The feature set was so in depth and so well done that this was like router Eden. Graphics, Data, Stats galore. Instant salivation for anyone with an appreciation and knowledge on 802.11. They should have code named this router the ASUS PAVLOV. All that is great but if it doesnt work, or drops its just a piece of pretty junk. Guess what. Its got it where it counts too. Signal strength around the house is stronger than ever. Speeds on all clients are crazy fast. Stability on 2.4 *AND* 5ghz is what it should be. I mean wow. where has this router been all my life?? The router has a cpu graph for the dual core cpus in the interface and its barely breathing handling the traffic- even with all the bells and whistles turned on collecting traffic, stats and web history from clients! Oh and did I mention this is all with QoS turned off!! Why limit bandwidth if you dont need to? QoS seems to be used best for small pipes or compensating for poor routers that cant handle a load, in my expeience. My network is rock solid. I will update this if something changes, of course, but from my experience you just know when you know, you know? And for this router... I know! In closing, watching the real-time bandwidth utilization graphic in the interface I can see the ebb a flow of downstream data (as well as upstream). Mine was pulsating in bursts from 6 to 28Mbps as the demands of multiple HD streaming clients was requested. Dual core CPU never clicked over single digits combined. I have Xfinity Blast! and speed tests were 75-80 down and 10-12 Up over 5g wifi -- just for reference. plenty of headroom.,Netflix Roku App's Network test reported that my Downstream capability to their servers was 17.35 Mbps. Nice. So to sum up. I think this is the best router ever on many levels, Build quality, stability, feature set, and pairs very nicely with a Arris SB6141 DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem, which to me is a proven solid product that I have used easily for over a decade (back when it was made under Motorola). I even used a 6121 4 channel version prior to this 6141 8 channel down / 4 up coming out about 10 years ago (I think). 6141=great modem. Asus RT68=Awesome Stable Router EDIT UPDATE on 7/30/2018: This has been a solid router for me since I wrote this review. I am up to 27-33 clients around the house generally between adding technology finding its way in the house (now 5 rokus!) and supporting transient devices for my job, or friends/family. Still remains to be great. I do update the firmware when it comes up and have not had problems with any version. Also, I mentioned I used QoS off... I have since changed gears on that. I now have QoS on and set to MEDIA/VIDEO as the priority due to all the video we stream here... It has been rock solid and definitely performs better with QoS set ON. Video plays at Highest resolutions and glitch free all around the house. Newest feature of this router in the firmware is AIMESH. This feature intrigued me because the far reaches of our bonus room has poor signal.... the roku in there doesnt seem to like the weak signal... I bought another one of these routers and added it as a MESH NODE. This allows seamless roaming around the house and load balancing of clients between the two routers. The only problem I had was the firmware's didnt match so it wouldnt mesh. I downloaded the latest and updated both to the latest firmware and then had no problems meshing the second router as a node. Very easy. I placed it at the end of the house downstairs, and now have good signal in the bonus room. I continue to love this router!! AiMESH rocks! Update 12/27/18: Still kicking strong. AIMESGH is great!! There have been several firmware updates and the router keeps getting better. I have not had any real issues with any of the firmware updates so I am grateful for that and kudos to ASUS for apparently knowing what they are doing and testing things sufficiently! I will say I have had to reboot this router less than 5 times since I have owned it due to some kind of internet issue. I dont know if it was caused by comcast, or just a glitch... but I did reboot it and the issue resolved on each of those occasions. Thats pretty darn stable. I might give it "five nines" of uptime considering I just never touch it except for those few times. Since my original review, Comcast/Xfinity has upped the bandwidth so I am getting about 175 meg down now...same 10/12 meg upload... Everything runs great... and stable. I have half a dozen clients on one side of the house on the mesh node 1 and the other half on the other "host" router... its nice. I have also been adding more devices since my last update ... RING doorbell, a SONOS Connect, two Google Home Minis, and four Amazon Echo DOT are added to the network (these are cool devices and love how you can use as intercoms by the way) .... also, I have four Ring floodlight cameras sitting in boxes I got for Christmas which I will be installing when the weather is nice which should be pushing me towards about 50 clients in the house (not all on at a time, mind you) but could be I suppose! Great router. ... show more

    • ASUS BLUE CAVE is AWESOME!
Style: AC2600 AiMesh Router Node
Pros: +Consistent data processing and movement in the network +Takes up HALF the space of most normal routers and no more falling antennas!! +Great Aesthetics +Awesome ASUS GUI +Easy setup for the beginner +Advanced settings for pros +Much more powerful signal than the ASUS AC2400 +Cool and adjustable LED lighting For those of you that have issues with routers dying, I suggest you buy a laptop cooling pad and place the router on one of those. Heat buildup due to lack of airflow is the number one enemy of electronics. I purchased this Router from another place, but I wanted to spread my great experience about this router to everyone else because it has no reviews. ASUS you should really do more with the NEWEGGSPERT program and work on your customer service RMA process for customers. My AC2400 was about 2.5 years old and there have been a lot of advances with routers since then. I was having lots of issues with that router being able to give me consistent and high data flows on my network and I had a feeling it was either starting to fail or it was a limitation of the chips in the router. So, I took a chance and bought this router and it really is a great bargain!! You are getting a 3-core Intel processor that seems to really be able to handle the workloads. The 3rd core is supposed to be dedicated to VoIP use. Please note that The ASUS ROG 5400 Has a 4-core Intel, but all other ASUS routers use the Broadcom chips. This is Intel’s attempt to get into the market, and from what I can see they have done a really good job. ASUS routers hands down have THE BEST GUI and ease of use over ANY other router I have ever used. As a Neweggspert I have tested a lot of routers! The mouse over help is a good quick reference, but many of the people who put poor reviews simply do not know what they are doing. Immediately upon changing over to this router, I notice a 15dbm gain in power! Which equates to over 10x the signal strength. Remember though we are talking a wireless signal that is prone to interference and we are in the milliwatt range. Real world performance for this router placed in a central location in my basement game me great coverage throughout my 1500 square foot house. Currently, this router does NOT include ASUS AiMesh networking, but it will be included in a future update. During network saturation testing, I was able to fully use my 65 Gb/s from the internet (2xUHD Netflix) and MAX out my plex server to every device I own plus another 3 local computer streams. It handled everything perfectly, with zero issues. My plex server can put out about 7 converted streams and I only saturated the 5ghz wireless about 50%. That is AWESOME! I was able to set my Plex server to High quality instead of speed and now my wireless video is as good as my wired video, I was never able to do that on my ASUS 2400. Video load times were minimal and kept under 5 seconds, even ff worked perfectly!!Computer to computer and internet downloads were able to max out with rock solid consistency. Cons: Cons -Power dongle is a 90 Deg angle on router connection and can turn off the power if you move the router. -Currently does not support ASUS AI Mesh networking -No manual included in the box, just quick setup -ASUS and the whole computer industry need to seriously work on customer service in this internet age, especially RMA service. You should all look at Motorola, their service system is EXEMPLARY! That is really about all there is for the cons. Other Thoughts: ASUS GREAT job on this router, it looks great and works even better and it is at the right price! We need more of these types of routers! I hate all the routers with more than 4 antennas and really the ONLY advantage to antennas is to be able to move them around for a bit more precise control of directing the signal, but that is the ONLY benefit to them, there is very little to GAIN by having them!! This router is perfect for the normal sized home, and once AI Mesh is incorporated into it then it will be the perfect base station for the extenders. For the price, it is really a great deal, most other routers are more expensive and have terrible GUI’s, plus many other brands of routers will disable your network with a loss of internet! ASUS keeps on cruising! UPDATE on AI MESH: FINALLY ASUS got off their behinds and released the promised AI mesh update for the Blue Cave, after I sent them an inquiry about it. I still have not used the Alexa or IFTTT functions yet, as I have been far too busy to set all that up on my smart devices, but once I do I will do a second update. A little background first, I am starting a home business and I needed good internet to my garages, Honestly I was considering a Ubiquity setup, but for now it was cost prohibitive. I decided to get a second Blue Cave since the AI mesh came out for it. I decided to completely redo my network backbone with Cat6 shielded cables. This is the most important part if you live in RF saturated spaces like Apartments or near a lot of RF like Cell phone towers, or even power stations. I think many of the reviewers truly do not understand how wireless works, and expect miracles all the time. I did have some early bios problems with the Blue cave with dropping wifi, but it was ASUS wide bios because I had it with other routers as well. Those issue seem to have been completely cleared up for me. I do have one complaint to ASUS about their Blue Cave set up. You need a bypass link to go straight to the firmware flash, whether it be USB or internet. Because your initial router setup is a big pain in the behind to get through, please fix. As I said I ran a brand new Cat6 shielded backbone which brings me to this point, ASUS you need to start using shielded connectors in the back of your routers! because we are so saturated with RF in some areas that some people with have to use shielded cables. This is what actually makes the Cable companies transmission superior to most others. Which brings me to this. My initial review was for one Blue Cave. Now I can tell you about the best way to have SUPERIOR performance. 1) An ac2600 should be enough for the average consumer, and remember this the 2600 is just for the wireless. I highly recommend that you get a couple of 1GB switches and use those and hardwire any PC's and HD and UHD televisions to your 1GB connections to the Blue Cave. Especially, if you want the best looking picture or if you do a lot of online gaming. Wireless is fine for you tablets and phones obviously, just keep you wireless for those kinds of devices. 2) Update your second devices Firmware while having it plugged into computer only. 3) Hard-wire the back-bone from router to router I recommend to do it with Cat6 for the future, that way you do not lose valuable bandwidth for the router to talk to one another. You will do this by connecting the second Asus AI mesh router to the internet connection. I have 2 Blue caves, and even though they don't have quite the range I would like them to have they are about what you expect from a home router. And surely better than having 8 antenni flopping and falling all over the place. I have only had one issue during the early bios of the WiFi dropping occasionally, but that issue is gone. Asus has done a number of security updates and because of their excellent trend micro included I can see all probes and attacks that have been thwarted. This is the primary reason I chose to stick with ASUS is the superb firmware and GUI. It is can be overwhelming to a beginner at times, but you will be thankful for it, if you have used other routers as I have. ASUS was not targeted for many of the recent security attacks. I do know there has been a lot of probing going on to find vulnerabilities. Having the Trend micro really helps! Sorry I got side tracked, AI mesh performance is really good, the routers now put your phones and tablets in the 2.4ghz band and higher bandwidth items in the 5ghz. I can now travel from one end of my property to the other, (1/4 a city block) and have full coverage. Since, all of my building have Steel siding it limits my range quite a bit. The only issue you need to understand with handing off is that it will be transparent most of the time. I however use Skype and Wechat a ton and you will get a small time (usually no more than 10 second) where it will have an "unstable connection" but it will regain the connection but will not drop the call, most of the time. But for everything else other than live voice or video chat, you should not notice any transition. Overall, I am very happy with ASUS hardware, it is very reliable compared to other brands. I do think ASUS needs to step back as a company and look at their Software division and their Customer service division and improve them a lot more, especially if they want to stay on top of the market. Many other brands are catching up to them. You really need to provide the best customer service if you want to be number one, in the future. BTW almost all the computer and the home network companies customer service stinks. They all cna improve dramatically. Feel free to ask me any questions and please rate up this review. ... show more
