You want to plug it in and run, fine. Or you want to tweak settings, go for it with a great UI that supports a rich set of options. ASUS stands behind it with support and timely firmware updates -- and has solid security protection built in.
Three Asus mesh routers solved challenging weak spots in our home network. The RT-BE88U served as the Mesh hub. The ability to bind devices to particular mesh nodes made the system work well and stay working repeatedly. This was crucial to achieve the performance needed for some devices in the network.
