Pros: This unit does just about everything one can think of for a router and does it very, very well. As far as we have been able to determine, it is unparalleled in features and performance. The Guest WiFi connections are isolated from the primary WiFi keeping both secure. One recommendation: if the unit is used in a business where customers have access to WiFi, make the primary connections for customers and put all of the protected connections on the ASUS Guest connections. That way, customer WiFi can be easily tailored for great distances, and you will have up to 6 Guest connections with full security that can be tailored for different sections of your business.
Cons: It has two big flaws. 1. The power supply plug for the unit is a European version with a Mickey Mouse U.S. adapter on the end of it that require gluing, strapping, rubber bands, duct tape, or some other form of attachment to the European connector to keep it from separating, something that can easily happen since the weight of the power cord is heavy enough to cause it to work free, unplugging the unit from power. 2. It is manufactured for Europe and there is no U.S. version currently available. This means should you need support, including repairs, you must deal with the U.K. support center. The BRT in the model number indicates it is supported only from the U.K.
Overall Review: We operate a coffee shop in a house that is over 100 years old. The walls are heavily wood, small sections of only sheetrock. A Meraki unit was unsatisfactory with spotty results and required a slave unit upstairs. Sonos speakers continually dropped and had to be restarted. Replacing the Meraki with the ASUS unit has eliminated all the problems including the need to a slave unit upstairs and the Sonos speakers dropping out.
