Reliable WiFi 6 Upgrade with Great Features The ASUS RT-AX3000 has been a rock-solid upgrade to my home network. Setup was straightforward with the ASUS app—within minutes I had it configured and running. The WiFi 6 support really makes a difference; multiple devices can stream, game, and video call without slowdowns. Coverage is excellent across a two-story house, and even the backyard gets a stable signal. I appreciate the thoughtful extras ASUS built in. Adaptive QoS lets me prioritize gaming or streaming when needed, and the parental controls are simple yet effective. AiProtection, powered by Trend Micro, adds an extra layer of peace of mind against security threats. I also like that it’s AiMesh compatible, which means I can expand coverage in the future without replacing the router. One small note: while performance is excellent, the unit does run a little warm. Not a big issue, but something to keep in mind if you place it in a tight space. Bottom line: A fast, reliable, and feature-packed router that’s a great choice if you’re ready to move into WiFi 6 and want excellent coverage with built-in security and expandability.

The router works as expected. It is very easy to set up.

Replacement of the RT-AC88U which only works 2 years. Lately, always one of stations loose the internet connection, wondering maybe is switch issue (Netgear GS116). After get a new GS116, still got the same issue, then I concluded it is the WiFi RT-AC88U created the Gigabit connection issues, because found out more ststaions loose the internet also. After office, went to Best Buy got a TP-Link AX3000 Wifi Router, came home to install but problem which auto detect WAN IP(Comcast) setup almost 1 hour, still no result, create headache problem, install Router never sucg difficult and joke, I ahve to manual input IP, MAsk IP Subnet IP........, this is a Joke, not use friendly! After use phone 5G login Amazon got this Asus router, RT-AX3000(AX58U) on next day shipping, after work came home, first thing is to install this Asus router(kids are almost lost their mind becuase no internet whole day but 5G phone net work!!!), follow the web installation procedure, Camcast cable inot LAN port, the other side connect to PC desktop, hpp://router.asus.com to setup, install new router, SSID, passwork and AUTO-DETECT IP(wha la! Thanks God!), after key-in all information, disconnect the cable, power off, then settle to the location, Comcast cable from Modem into WAN, then GS116 switch cable intot LAN port, re-boot the Cable Moden(Important), also power-on Router, then it all came back to normal, Excellent and easy to setup, use-friendly!

Fast router with good hardware, but the software is frustrating. Be warned that the settings are very different from Wi-Fi 6 models. Streaming ad-supported services like Pluto TV (and similar) may not work out of the box due to hidden or poorly implemented network settings. One major issue: just because a feature says “Disabled” does NOT mean it’s actually disabled. You still have to click Disable and then hit Apply, even if it already appears off. This caused hours of troubleshooting. Once fixed, it works fine, but the UI is confusing and not user-friendly. Important settings are not available in the mobile app and must be accessed through a web browser, which is not clearly explained. This router is not plug-and-play unless you’re very tech-savvy or patient. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For speed ⭐⭐ For poorly implemented network settings

This thing if freaking AWESOME !! More than adequate for my needs, and I think there is some actual alien technology at work herein !!! I have Xfinity Broadband @ 400, actual getting about 505 down at this Router, setup was flawless, must reboot Router several times for some of the settings I chose, not a problem with it's 4-core processor - reboots are fast. EXTREMELY versatile and configurable with MANY attributes that were not available on other Routers I examined. As far as it's power and capability it rivals the "Sonicwall 350" we have at work BUT provides FULL BANDWIDTH and THROUGHPUT to each port even with all the Security features active... the Sonicwall 350 only allows about 350Mb throughput but with this Router I am getting in excess of 1200Mb connection rates to my laptop and Speedtests show nearly the same in Browser as the Routers built-in Speedtest !!! EVERYONES biggest complaint about their routers and connection is they "don't get download speeds in there browser that they are paying for", but most people don't understand "overhead" in bandwidth issues and don't buy an appropriate speed router to be able to provide said speed. For me and my scenario - THIS Router is the MONSTER and beats several others I have tried that all said they could do something but ended up NOT being able... I must add that I tried a "Refurbished" version of this Router and it was madness trying to get it setup and it caused many problems with my Servers and remote connections... the vendor, Azusa-IoT, was gracious and very communicative regarding return and refund, their Customer Service efforts were fast and refund happened within an hour of them receiving the Refurb unit at their location. So there is DEFINITELY something wrong with that REFURB unit. The difference in cost was only about $40. The difference in frustration level and blood pressure increase was PRICELESS !!!

Coming from 5 years of owning Nighthawk router this is such a sweet upgrade. If you are looking for a budget friendly, updated tech, ease of set up and use, security features, this one is for you. I am not a gamer and I have just a standard internet service tier. What I want is to be able to put all my nome smart devices on a different network than my main network for our laptops and computers. This one has its own IOT network. If you want a FREE firewall network protection, this one has it and it's free. This router meets all my needs with above expectations. Speed, Security and Price. ITS A KEEPER!

The area I need to cover is quite small but has a few slight issues -- older house, with main access point in the basement, some slightly problematic areas with low signal strength. I'd tried to solve the matter with a TP-Link mesh system and it really didn't do much over and above the base router I'd been using. Did some research and came to the conclusion that mesh systems are mostly just marketing hype -- they can't change the laws of physics. I got this unit with one of the wall plug-in range extenders and -- yeah -- that's the ticket. Signal strength is great almost everywhere in the house. And unlike the mesh system, I see devices actually jumping onto and using the range extender. With the mesh system I would note that hardly any of the devices would be on the secondary unit, even though they were right next to it. Anyway, if you're struggling with your WiFi set-up and trying to figure it out, THIS is the way to go. Forget about mesh set-ups. Just get a rock solid base unit, like this one, and then plug in as many of the range extenders as you need.

The main reason for purchasing this router was to improve connectivity as our TV would often drop while streaming on the old router (model 1750). Received router, opened and set up. Router came with everything needed (cable and method to download app). The four antennas were a breeze to arrange. Unit is light weight and more compact than the older router it replaced. Internet speed from cable modem to router is +/- 607 Mbps. Performance testing was conducted after updating both laptop and router firmware (3.0.0.4.388_25139). Tests were conducted using a gaming laptop sitting three (3) feet from the router and at the same height. Protocols were Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) for 5G and Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) for 2.4G. The results shown are the fastest speed obtained from three consecutive tests. A test was also conducted using a new gaming PC hardwired directly into modem and is shown at right.

The ping seen by computer seems slightly better - but this is an impression not verified by testing. Visually the router sits unpretentiously in its place and has small but easily visible indicator lights. Summary: Setup was slightly more difficult than the older modem (model AC1750) it is replacing. Router has an App (which is nice) but it far less intuitive than the software for the AC1750. Asus does request PIA (i.e. birthdate and phone and email addresses) to register the product. Wireless speeds are slightly below hopes. First impression is that router does seem more stable than the old router it is replacing. The router also includes security features such as VPN (to be setup in the future and part of why this unit was chosen.) Overall rating: RECOMMENDED.
