Perfect router for our needs. Easy to connect to our network and set up. Took about 30 minutes to setup and activate the network, including reconnecting the Ring cameras outside. Great coverage/access throughout the house (2750 sq ft) and outside.
This router would not become a mesh node on my RT-AC5300! I have other ASUS products that added without issue but this one never worked. I called support and they eventually hung up. In the end, I returned the product and gave up on ASUS. I installed and eero Pro 6E and everything works better.
Does not work with Airmesh. Updated firmware. Place By the RT AX3000. Initialize Airmesh. AX 1800. Connects. Power down the AX1800 to move. AX1800 won’t re- connect to the AX3000 even setting side by side.
If it matters to you that the lights flash to indicate activity on an interface, this router does not do that. Otherwise it’s a very good router for the price point.
