Asus RT-AC5300 alien spider router review
The Asus RT-AC family of high end routers pushes that boundary with every release, and the RT-AC5300 "Alien Spider" is a shining example of what can be done when "overkill" is not a criticism, but a design goal.

Big Arachnid Router
So far, a great router with a great web control panel. Been running for weeks, no problems. No hint of corners cut in the design of this beast. Given the price, that's a relief.

Review: Asus' RT-AC5300 is as powerful as it is visually impressive
W elcome to the fastest router that has passed through the PC and Tech Authority test labs. Asus' new router combines three different wireless networks into one device to provide oodles of bandwidth for users that need to connect a large number of devices.

Asus RT-AC5300 Tri-Band Gigabit Router Review
Kitguru Says: Although it's a niche product, the Asus RT-AC5300 is an all-round great router. If you think you can make use of multiple 5GHz networks, then its absolutely worth the investment. However, given you will need to fork out for 4×4 bridges as well, the whole setup will cost quite a bit.
Pros:
- The Asus WRT software is full of useful features
- Fast performance
- capable of great speed all round
- Twice the potential wireless bandwidth of other 4×4 routers
Cons:
- No single client transfer can go particularly faster than any other 4×4 router
- Expensive

Another flagship router with a price tag to match, the Asus RT-AC5300 joins D-Link's Taipan as another cutting edge router which ignored the years of traditional router designs we've become accustomed to.
