Pros

Rt-ax88u is a great wifi router. I have 600 mb up/down plan with verizon and this router clocks speed of 700 mb up/ down in the same floor of a 3000 sqft house. My wife and daughter's wifi signal is now 3-4x the speed (220+mbps) vs. An rt68u.

This new asus router is awesome! The reliability of this thing is amazing. It's a bit bulky but seems like a reliable router so far.

This product is a game changer. No droped signals, no interruptions at all. The processor aka cpu is super powerful.

Parents can control 4 main categories of web content which are split into sub-categories. Adult content has its own filter and sub-filters, which is wonderful because kids will always push limits. It also allows you to set up a schedule so that you ca...  Read More



Cons

Even scheduling auto-reboot every night hasn't guaranteed normal hours operations. Seller has a 30 day return policy and it has been longer than 30 days. Hours go by and my frustration level keeps rising.

This by far is the slowest router i've ever owned. The device is extremely overpriced and loaded with extra features. It is overwhelming how terrible this overpriced piece of plastic and painted copper trash this is.

The user interface is horrible. Your router is a * station and i hate it" reviewer was unable to find support on the company's website.

It is rock solid and trouble free.


I've tested 10+ wifi systems and using two of these meshed together blows them all out of the water.

Price


If it's like new sell it like new with the appropriate discount!

Shipping


On several occasions amazon has sent returned and used items as new.

Packaging/appearance


Looks great in my black office themed room too!


Packaging not sealed, and unable to enter device without performing hard reset to original state.

Competitiveness


With the older router i got less than 40mb/s read and write speeds in comparison!


Since google locked down so many settings (i needed to change the channel the 5 ghz band was on), i bought this router and it i...  Read More


However, works exactly as it was intended with much more bells and whispers than netgear.


It also can be set up for two isp providers as well.

    If you have dsl such as att and cannot specify a typical ip address range for dhcp read this


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If you are setting up a brand new network or you do not have any preexisting static or reserved ip addresses in your network or you do not know what dhcp is then skip the last section of this review


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It is a well built and the two wifi radios seem to be second to none


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    However if you are like me and need to set up this router to be a direct replacement in kind for an older asus or other router and you have dsl service you may find that if try to set up a typical dhcp server range it may return an out of range error


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If you try to reach out for solutions you will find no information regarding this


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I even reached out to asus and got nothing but crickets


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The solution for this is to go into to the dhcp ip settings on the dsl gatewayrouter and check to see if it is set for the same ip address range that you are trying to set your asus to


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If it matches then go into dsl gatewayrouter and change its dhcp server range
