Question 1

Is there a button on the router to turn wifi on/off?

Accepted Answer

Not to specifically turn off Wi-Fi only…..but, that can be done through the software interface provided by ASUS.

Question 2

What is the maximum power draw (W or A)?

Accepted Answer

"Maximum power draw of 65 watts."

Question 3

Can this router Throttle individual devices at a set maximum download/upload?

Accepted Answer

Yes.

Click 'Game Acceleration' on the left, then click 'QoS' tab. Change 'QoS Type' to 'Bandwidth Limiter'. Then you can add upto 32 connected devices with download and upload limits in Mb/s.

Keep in mind, you may have better results using a more modern QoS type like leaving it on Adaptive and picking the most important thing to you. Then, go to 'Traffic Analyzer' on the left and pick 'Bandwidth Monitor' tab. Then, click on one of the 5 priority options (Highest -> Lowest) and drag that color ontop of the device you want to have that priority. This way, when nothing more important is going on, the lower rated devices can still use the full speed. Two devices with the same rating will share priority.

Question 4

Can you throttle per device? As in my roomates download all the time making it a nightmare to use the internet, so could I set a max they can use on the bandwidth to allow me to actually use the internet?

Accepted Answer

Yes.  In the Asus settings:  Adaptive QoS, enable QoS if it's disabled, click the Bandwidth Limiter button, then add the client and upload and download limits below that - I'm describing in the open source firmware, so I'm not sure if the stock Asus firmware is very similar, but probably not too dissimiliar.

Question 5

Are the 10g ports 10 Gbps only, or do they also support 1/2.5/5 Gbps?

Accepted Answer

They are also backwards compatible with 1/2.5/5

Question 6

Anyone know the basic dimensions when opened up and operating?

Accepted Answer

Dimensions (no antennas) note:  you can't remove the antennas.
