Questionable
First unit the WAN port died after 4 months, Asus was quick to set up rma. Even though I had to pay to ship it to them, regular post with tracking. They shipped it back Express and it was a brand new unit. So far it's been 3 months, so far so good.
Pros:
- triband
Cons:
- - first unit died after 4 months

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

Remove Centurylink fiber modem and use this instead.
Perfect solution to remove isp modem with fiber internet. Set VLAN ID capable, it does everything it advertises and much more. Add the ASUS app to your phone or tablet for simple setup changes such as port forwarding, game boost, etc. worth every penny of the price.

ASUS' RT-AC5300 Wireless-AC5300 Tri-Band Gigabit Router is the second AC5300 router I've tested and ASUS' second based on Broadcom's new 4x4 radio (the RT-AC88U / RT-AC3100 was the first). The AC5300 has two 5 GHz radios vs. the AC88U's two and uses Broadcom's XStream technology .

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.
