My first foray away from DLINK as the build/design date seems to be more current than others I looked at and of course I wanted to play with AX wifi standard. The easy bit is that it is handling my wifi devices quite nicely without any kind of dropouts that I seemed to get with my older device. About 15 or so.However there have been problems. The UI is quite complex compared to my old DLINK and is not really a plug 'n play style and needs a bit extra work to understand. Then there were connectivity problems with Google Nest mini devices and Mirabella branded plugs and fairy lights.So now while AX mode is active the 160Mhz band is disabled and I can't run SmartConnect i.e. the 2.4Ghz band has a different SSID from the 5Ghz band. Bit disappointing but the most ... MoreMy first foray away from DLINK as the build/design date seems to be more current than others I looked at and of course I wanted to play with AX wifi standard.

Google and Reddit gave me the clues to arrive at my current stable solution.So maybe near end of it's life I'll be happier with my choice but right it's doing fine and throughput is great but I can only give it 3 stars.

I upgraded to this router after my ISP supplied router was having problems with the wifi. I set up the IP details, Wireless details and NBN details before connecting it and it worked perfectly after doing so. I was amazed at the speed boost, which was about 8 times or more faster than I had before. The best feature for me is the smart switching of the wifi range. It picks the strongest connection, either 2.4 or 5ghz and uses that as needed. I have a range extender from another company and was able to set it up with WPS, although the wifi range with this ASUS router is excellent and much better than I had before. At the back of my house (over 200sqm), I still get the maximum speed on 2.4ghz. I don't use it for gaming but as a replacement it is amazing and gives me ...

Pros:Wifi range, Wifi Speed, Easy Setup, Works with non-ASUS Range Extenders, Very detailed information about connected devices Cons:Limited Parental Controls, It's a little big as it sits horizontally

So, decided to cut the cable BUT use some of the money to subscribe to a VPN. The VPN company stated the ISP router would not be adaptable unless I did a bunch of tech stuff like flash it. I can build PCs, I can do very basic things and when shown or told I can pretty much make anything work. Chose Asus because I like their product, just built a PC with an Asus mobo (Z490 ROG Strix E) and an Asus monitor (PA278)This router is supposed to work well with the VPN company I chose. First upon the simple (and it is simple) set-up, I received no signal from the modem to the router. Called Asus and they helped me get a signal. I was willing to put that down as perhaps I made a mistake. Tried to install the VPN and when VPN was activated a loss of internet on the PC but ...

I was willing to put that down as perhaps I made a mistake. Tried to install the VPN and when VPN was activated a loss of internet on the PC but not the 2 Rokus.Contacted the VPN company who worked on it from their end and couldn't find an issue. Contacted Asus again and again, they helped but when the VPN was on the PC was offline EVEN hardwired into the router.Had a professional come in to set up the network. He did but VPN drops download from 200+MBPS - >50. He told me to contact the VPN company again... they had me run some configs and nothing.I would call again, but and I know it is something that companies do to keep prices down, but when I can't understand a single word the phone help is saying (because I can't be online if working on the internet with possible outages, due to the working on it.) So, I won't call them, asking them to repeat and talk slower makes me feel embarrassed. I rarely complain about the telephone outsources because it is what it is, but Asus' by far the worst.So, while it FINALLY, gets me signals to everything I need the fact that a hardwired PC's download speed drops 75% is frustrating and I would return it but with the market the way it is with stock on shelves down (bought the last one) and the need for one that handles wifi6 AND VPN there may not be anything else available.It breaks my heart to have to write this review because as I stated I truly like Asus products.
I'm happy with this router now that I bought it, but when I was trying to comparison shop, the specs were really confusing. I'm still not sure whether this router (RT-AX58U) is the same hardware as the RT-AX3000. Some people say it is, and only the firmware is different, and others say the hardware itself is different. The specs on the BestBuy site say it doesn't have a firewall (which would be really strange for any router in this day and age)--it does. It was also really unclear whether buying this model would come with a pro-plan lifetime internet security subscription (I forget what Asus calls it), like the more expensive RT-AX3000. It does. Overall, I'm glad I bought it instead of the more expensive model. I was also pleasantly surprised at the small footprint, ...

I bought this router after having previously bought an Asus router that I was very impressed by and still use. I bought it for two specific features, the Asus AiMesh range extension and VPN features.Our internet comes into the basement of a big house and the signal struggles to reach some rooms on the 2nd floor. The AiMesh completely fixes this and couldn’t have been easier to setup.The other feature I needed was VPN connectivity for the whole network. This is a pretty niche feature that most people don’t need, but something I need to have while traveling abroad. The router also supports creating a VPN server for connection into your home network while not at home. Not something I thought I’d need, but actually very helpful.
I bought the ASUS AX3000 to replace the single-band, WiFi 4 router that is built into my AT&T modem. There are simply too many 2.4GHz networks bleeding over into our house from the neighbors, and the AT&T router is too weak to get the full circuit bandwidth anywhere beyond about 10 feet from it.The AX3000 is incredibly easy to set up. Before starting, I Googled how to shut off the built-in wifi radio and put the AT&T modem/router into pass-through mode. The ASUS router app is really nice, but I preferred using the on-board interface to set things up by wiring in our desktop PC.I set up both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks using different SSID's so that I could tell them apart. (I am not a fan of the "Smart Connect" feature that uses a single SSID and can move devices ...

(I am not a fan of the "Smart Connect" feature that uses a single SSID and can move devices between 2.4GHz and 5GHz to try to optimize range and speed.) Two devices in the house only support 2.4GHz, but the rest are all on the 5GHz network, including iPhones running WiFi 6 and a variety of devices including Apple TVs and Roku sticks using WiFi 5.Using a speedtest app on my iPhone 12, I then methodically checked every room in the house before connecting all the other devices. We have a 3000 sq foot, two-story home with another 1000 sq ft in the unfinished basement. The AX3000 sits in the loft near the center of the second floor (great central location). The results? I got the full bandwidth of our internet circuit in every room of the house and in the basement, despite the signal strength sometimes being as low as 35%!This router has great features, a good user interface and a nice companion app. But it's the combination of WiFi 6 and other advanced tech that makes its performance shine. I have even noticed my Chromebook getting better battery life now that it can operate on 802.11ac (WiFi 5) along with a stronger signal.The AX3000 is not the cheapest home router, but if you need range, throughput, and the ability to support a fleet of modern devices, it is a great investment.
My previous router was a Netgear RangeMax which gave good service for 12 years until the 2.4 GHZ radio gave up the ghost. After reading nightmare reviews for routers from many top manufacturers, I purchased this Asus model based on its great reviews.My first impressions are that this is an outstanding router. To begin, setup literally could not have been easier. Connected it to my cable modem, powered it on, and completed the setup in five minutes via the mobile app. It was not necessary to update network adapter drivers on any of my PCs.Range is great - I get excellent connectivity from anywhere in my 1550 sq ft home. This includes two smart TVs, two wireless printers, two PCs, smartphones, wireless security with multiple cameras, and wifi connected lighting in ...

This includes two smart TVs, two wireless printers, two PCs, smartphones, wireless security with multiple cameras, and wifi connected lighting in multiple rooms.The app is the crown jewel. The interface is intuitive and fun to use. Using it, I can see real-time traffic, know every device connected to the network - and identify and label them. The best way to do this when their identity is not clear is grab the MAC address from the device label or from the app associated with the device (like wifi lighting) and match it to the MAC address given for the mystery device by the Asus app. The app reports connection quality for every online device so no need to use a wifi mapper.I am very satisfied with this purchase and would highly recommend this router for anyone with a network environment similar to my own.
Excellent. I had an Asus router for many years with great service. It is one of the few that offers OpenVPN and used it when overseas visiting daughter to log back into my home system. Suddenly my service kept cutting out, blaming Xfinity of course. After multiple unplugging both router and cable modem several times, would work for a while, then quit, repeat process. Got fed up and went into Xfinity system and to my surprise had no problem reaching me on their side, and sent a reset signal. Problems persists. Upgraded my router from the 1900 to the 3000 and no problems since. It was an easy setup as I made notes (port forward, assignments, etc) to replicate with the new modem, however do wish there was a manual as there were some new fields that even recent YouTube ...

That said, loaded the new OpenVPN file in the laptop, went to Starbucks and tested it (can't test on same network). Success - had a secure tunnel from Starbucks to my home.
I've only had it one day, but so far it's perfect.- Amazing speed. My old router wifi speed test was around 100 Mbps (on 5Ghz connection). This Asus hits 520 Mbps. It's that much faster. (More than 5x faster.)- The processor is very fast so the control panel is responsive and seems to reboot quickly compared to my previous router.- Good range. I run it in my basement in a two-story house (two upper levels) and the entire house gets coverage.- Nice size... not too big. Smaller than my old Netgear.- This might seem like no big deal, but you can choose your own username for the control panel, which helps security. If a hacker knows that your username is "admin" then they can brute force your password. But if they don't even know what the username is, they ...

My previous router had "admin" hard coded as the user name, which I think was pretty silly.- Android app looks good and is quite intuitive.My previous router, Netgear R7000, was awful. Best Buy's extended warranty program is almost too good to be true. They exchanged that junky router, turning it into a store credit with 100% of the original purchase price given to me, so I applied it to this Asus.I would recommend this router and I would recommend the extended warranty as a favor to your future self. It is a fairly low one-time fee and it's very likely that you'll use it.
