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

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.

Powerful Router for Apple
In researching this purchase, I found no shortage of unboxing, tech specs and physical descriptions. Some specifics were missing. I hope to fill in some of those. First, I went in search of a new router because Apple had announced they were no longer supporting their line of AirPort 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

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.

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.
