If you can afford it. Get it!
I have used many routers over the years.. all have been disappointments! Not coz they are bad routers.. but coz in India walls are made of bricks and they do a dam good job blocking WiFi signals. Good range is not indicated by only the number of bars. The quality of signal also matters.

Great router
Had this from November. Most should know not to put up with the basic isp routers they are provided with.This router will get the maximum and more over your connection speeds with stability. I'm on a 200Mbps but this gets me 214Mbps.Never settle for Virgins Superduds routers.

Asus ROG Rapture GT-AC5300
With a street price ranging from $320 to more than $400, Asus' ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 is expensive for a reason. It's the only router on the market that combines powerful hardware specs, eight Gigabit LAN ports and a ton of features geared toward gaming .
Pros:
- The GT-AC5300 has fast performance, excellent Wi-Fi range and includes loads of unique gaming-centric features
- The router has free built-in lifetime protection against online threats, has eight Gigabit LAN ports, and can combine two of them into a superfast connection
Cons:
- The router is bulky, expensive and generally overkill for most homes' needs
- Its interface can be daunting, and its mobile app only works locally

The battle of the $399 router is quite interesting. This price point gives consumers the option of broad range mesh platforms from Linksys, ASUS, Ubiquiti, and others, or extreme performance single node solutions like a Nighthawk X8, Archer 5400v2, and now the ASUS ROG Rapture.

ASUS ROG Rapture (GT-AC5300) Enthusiast Router Review
The ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 surely isn't the cheapest device on the market, but you also get a list of awesome features. At the time of writing, it can be yours for $388.99 or £465.61 , but can be found online from other retails for around £399.99.

awesome wifi!!!
Replaced a 5 year old ASUS router because of some interference issues I started having and none of the same issues have occurred since installing the new one. My pings are down and my internet speeds (wifi)are almost doubled.
Pros:
- Super fast wifi
Cons:
- Kind of ugly
- hate the orange accents..
