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.

ASUS RT-AC5300
Today ASUS RT-AC5300 wireless router appeared in our test lab. At first we were slightly afraid to approach such a monster. RT-AC5300 model looks like the inverted crab, the strong similarity is caused by the shape and layout of antennae.

- three radios
- port bundling ability
- high IPv6 routing speeds
- QoS feature presence
- MU-MIMO support
- high access speeds to the data which are stored on an external USB-drive
- high efficiency client and VPN server
- NitroQAM support,...
Cons:
- port bundling capabilities are very limited
- the web-interface is not completely translated
- relatively high price

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.
