I've heard issues about DOA devices and ones that die after a few months - I've only had it running for about a week now and there have been no issues.

Setup was fairly painless and should be easy to follow for those not familiar or perhaps comfortable with trying to configure a router

Purchased 12/29/15, died 8/22/17; No power; Came home today and the internet was having issues with verifying security certificates; I power cycled the modem and router, but power never came back on for the router; I tried plugging it into several different outlets, but to no avail.

Had it for a few months upgraded from an archer c5. Range is about the same but the quality of the signal is much better . My brother was getting around 80mbps but with the switch he now gets around 200mbps

Connected easily to my Virginmedia super hub 2 in modem mode; Very reliable so far, not had reboot once; Set up guest networks without a hitch so far

Quite expensive i think as this is an old model

Most probably one of the best routers I have ever used. 10-15 mins from removing from box to having up and running and with the Android software made it even better.

This router has it all. Works flawlessly on my act broadband service to provide the best speed on the 5ghz band. Also supports video streaming without any hickups. Highly recommended

Everyone knows that ISPs usually give you a pretty bad freebie router (especially the bad modem / router combos) so I did research on the best routers for gaming. Asus's high-end routers compete directly with the Netgear Nighthawk series, but I find Asus's to be quite superior.

+ Ridiculously fast and consistent WIFI speeds; + Ridiculous WIFI range; + Easy setup; + Looks cool

- A bit expensive

The Asus RT-AC68U combines the latest in Wi-Fi technology with deep network control for a fast home network that's specific to your needs.

An intuitive web interface allows for in-depth network customization

This router's unusually tall design could make it difficult to fit on a shelf or in a networking cabinet

My friend needed me to order one for them & it happened to be on sale. I asked how it was & they said they hated themselves for not getting this product sooner. I checked back hoping to get the same great deal i.e huge markdown + free shipping.

Made a 1-2 Mbps difference which is "yuge" in my rural area & improved coverage "bigly

None

The networking market is in continuous transformation and through an ongoing process of auto-discovery. Routers and other type of networking equipment have evolved from delivering basic functionality to huge throughput numbers and creative technologies.

A fantastic router. I'm getting 200Mbps speeds 20 metres away through a wall. Set up is pretty straightforward, but there are plenty of features available for network management if you want them. Streaming Netflix and downloading games from Steam are both effortless and smooth.
