The setup of my Asus 88u router went well with the only hiccup was finding the NAT passthrough for my server. There are two separate places in the menu; one for ip6 and the other for ip4.
Straighforward to configure and performance is very good. Much more obscure to setup multiple SSID's than older units. Configuring the "table" for the MAC to IP assignments used by the DHCP server is nearly impossible for more than a handful of mappings.
Great router. User friendly UI with a deep feature set. Highly configurable to get things working the the way you need it. 10x the features at half the price of the top of the line Nighthawk.
I’ve been using the 88U for 3 weeks and waited to review the router. I am not that tech savvy. The router was easy to set up and have no problems to date. I think the router app is very useful. This is a powerful router. It covers my 3000sq ft home with no problem. The house is single story. There were several clients that were had random drop offs with my old router. I have had none so far with the 88U. My old router was wifi6. Big difference having WiFi 7 as far as speed. I would recommend this router.
I purchased this router as an upgrade to an old Linksys router based on product reviews and my own experience with Asus products. The router is powerful with good features, easy to set up, and provides Wifi & capability and good features and functionality.
