Pros: This router is junk. It is flashed with the software for a ac router which it is not. It don't work right at all. It also is very misleading.

Cons: Don't work right.

Dear Kevin,

I want to thank you for posting this review and I understand that you have an issue with the wireless connection. I apologize for the inconvenience this issue has caused you. I want to help you with the issue. I would like to verify the firmware version that is currently running to your router? To isolate the issue, I would like to verify have you tried to update the firmware version manually and do the factory reset after upgrading the firmware version to see if that will help with the issue? How is your wired connection? We need to isolate this case before we proceed with RMA.

For further technical assistance or if you want to discuss this matter with me, please email me back at customerloyalty@asus.com and put case # N151132102 in the subject line for a reference.

I'm here to help you and all others with these issues, as our customer loyalty department dedicated to bringing a resolution to all issues related to our products.

Pros: Good price. Model design is attractive. Easy to set up.

Cons: I ordered a refurbished unit from a Flash Sale. While it was easy to get up and running, it started dropping connections within a matter of hours. Unit gets very warm. RMA'ed it for a replacement and once I received that I had the exact same problems. Packed it up for a refund. Now I'm out the re-stocking fee plus the return shipping cost.

Pros: My first router without an antennae. When it's working it was perfect. Easy to setup and GUI/menu were pretty straight forward.

Cons: However! I would lose connection on a few of my wireless devices and have to keep resetting the ROUTER (firmware is up to date).

The 5ghz is pretty useless as I'm barely able to connect to it for more than 1hr without it crapping out or losing connection and me having to reset or reconnect.

The wireless range the worst of the 5 routers I had in the past. I'm not new to this. I couldn't even get a signal just 1 floor below me and when I do it's 2-3 bars.

I would have to reset the router every couple times a day to get it connecting right with other wireless devices.

I'm willing to give Asus 1 last chance, I'll be getting the RT-AC66U and see how that fare. But all I know is, I will never buy another router without antennae again.

Pros: fast

Cons: gets hot really quickly and drops wireless connections when it is hot

Pros: Easy Setup via website.
Sleek design.
Great Value

Cons: None yet

Pros: Great throughput, gigabit lan, slick interface, lots of options, attractive, good range.

Cons: The firmware that shipped wasn't great, but the update is great.

Other Thoughts: This is an outstanding router, I've seen throughput over 50 Mb to the WAN without an issue, and file transfers on the LAN are lightning fast. Wireless connectivity is great with good range, but iOS devices had problems before the firmware update. I've had as many as 5 HD streams throughout my house on a mix of wired and wireless connections without a hiccup. This is a solid router.

Pros: Easy to install, greatly increased my range. Sleak design

Cons: Had to update firmware, that's about it.

Pros: Dual band router. Basic functionality seems to work. Seems to have pretty good range on both bands. Good value for a low priced dual band router.

Cons: GUI is disappointing. URL filtering is limited. Logging is weak. Does not log URL blocks, only port blocks. Log is hard to read. Cannot get it to send logs to SNMP server. Cannot get IPv6 to work reliably, and not sure I would trust it if I did. Ability to block ports and services in firewall is weak. Does not support common alternate firmware. Documentation is very poor, both in the manual and online.

Other Thoughts: While the price is good, I would take a pass on this one unless you want just a basic router.

Search around on the web to find some tips and tricks about configuring it. Be sure to upgrade to the latest firmware. Apparently a lot of bugs have been fixed in the latest release.

Pros: Price.

Cons: DOA and it was discontinued by the time I RMA'd it... the day it arrived.

Pros: Dual Band
Fast
USB
Tons of Settings
Sleek aesthetics

Cons: Easy to knock over
Kind of cheapy plastic
First one didn't work

Other Thoughts: I had to jump through hoops with Newegg to get a working one. The first time I have ever had issues with Newegg customer service. However, now that I (finally) got it back, and it works, it works like a charm. No issues at all.
I purchase this because my combination router/modem from the cable company is a piece of junk, and it is just what I needed. Lots of settings, USB, Gigabit, dual band, wireless N.
