Some don't like the looks of the router , But I Like it. its different. its big, its heavy, But its Strong. Fast, I had an Asus RT-AC66U for a few years, and thought it was time to upgrade.

Works as advertised; very strong; 8 antennas

pricey; but I guess that what u pay for when u want the best

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.

It is a fast router

Need to update firmware straight away Had problems with slow speeds and drop outs especially from amazon devices, had to change the wifi channel numbers to a lower, seems to have cured the problem; Sometimes can be a bit hard work to connect to..

Arrived ahead of schedule. Easy to set up, internet works like a dream.

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.

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!

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.

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

No single client transfer can go particularly faster than any other 4×4 router; Expensive

The Asus RT-AC5300 Wireless AC5300 Tri-Band Gigabit Router is a smart choice if you require the throughput needed for online gaming and high-resolution video streaming. It's physically large and carries a hefty price tag, but it delivered very fast 2.4GHz and 5GHz throughput scores in our tests, and...

Very fast 2.4GHz and 5GHz throughput in testing; Numerous management settings; MU-MIMO enabled

Expensive; Large footprint; Middling file-transfer speeds

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.

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.
