- Not as friendly as it seems - Siepsop, 20 April 2026
It's a gimmick router; gaming is all packets filtering and does not work correctly if you are a power user. ex you have a dedicated server on port 21205 that you opened in the rules. Should you enable the gaming features, it blocks your open port. There are more software gripes as power user will pick up.
- Very satisfied - Herman, 18 March 2026
I am very happy with this router. If you search online, you will find 99% of people complaining their Samsung S25 Ultra keeps disconnecting and reconnecting after 2-5 second from wifi intermittently during the day. I tried everything you can find on the internet to fix this problem and nobody could find a solution. This router fixed that problem for me. I believe that the routers that come with your ISP is not good or intelligent enough for the latest and greatest technology.
- By far the best for the price - Ryno, 13 November 2025
One of the best I used, since I normally only ever used the free ISP/Fibre routers you get when signing up. never again.... only thing is that the Mesh nodes needs to be Asus as well, with the AIMesh feature, can get pricey
