Top of the line router
This is the perfect top line router. Only issue I had when setting it up was the location I had chosen. I relocated to a central area of the house and I now have full coverage on all bands on all three floors of a 4000 sq ft house. I even have great coverage of the entire yard. Love it.

Perfect in AiMesh
Perfect if you have a smart home and numerous clients.
Pros:
- Probably overkill but I have two of these set up in AiMesh running the latest firmware
- Followed the Asus set up instructions as listed and everything runs smoothly with clients connecting where I would expect
- 40 clients with no drops and quick response.
Cons:
- They are big but if you can hide them where you can still get optimum signal that isn't a problem

"Fantastic, seamless, easy setup, couldn't have asked for a bette"
So easy to set up and so easy to manage! Insanely quick transfer speeds and the range is massive too. Meshing two of these products together couldn't be easier! Also would like to thanks Mightape support for clarifying a few technical details before purchasing. Great product, worth every cent!
