I found this router for my home to keep safe my network and have an independent testing lab for my testing. Easy to config, easy to set different networks, like the trend micro protection. Love it
Excellent modem extender, I fixed my problem with low signal in my home. I live in a home with concrete walls ans was unable to get a strong signal with my old extender. Problem solved with the ASUS. No more poor sigaml in the rooms at home. I was not able to stream games to my ps5 due to a poor signal. Happy customer here.
Below average router for the price with very limited customization features for traffic monitoring, analysis or blocking. Not designed with robust security or flexibility in mind.

Dear SamMa,
Thank you for your comment.
We do understand your disappointment with this router and the inconvenience this may have caused if your Ipad and other devices stop connecting to the internet. To resolve this, try restarting both your modem and router, checking for firmware updates for the router, and trying to reset the router to factory settings. Check if ISP's internet service or connection is working properly or stable. Additionally, we recommend updating the router's firmware if it is running with an older version. Firmware is available for download at: https://www.asus.com/networking-iot-servers/wifi-routers/asus-wifi-routers/rt-ax1800s/helpdesk_bios?model2Name=RT-AX1800S.

Dear Meeks2K18,
Thank you for your comment.
We do understand the inconvenience this may have caused if you're unable to login on the ASUS application. If you cannot access this router to reset your username and password, you need to perform a factory reset on this router to regain access. To do this, locate the RESET button on the router, press and hold it for 5-10 seconds until the power light starts to flash, then release and wait for the router to reboot with its default settings (usually admin/admin). Once reset, you will be able to set up a new username and password through the ASUS Router app or web GUI.

Not really impressed. Will probably return. Too slow

Dear RabidBeagle,
Thank you for your comment.
We do understand your impression with this router and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are experiencing slow connection speed. To resolve this issue, place it in a central location within your home, away from walls and obstructions, keep it elevated off the floor and away from electronic devices that may cause interference. Check if the PC or device connecting to the router is working properly and within range to the router, and ISP's internet service or connection is working properly or stable. Additionally, we recommend updating the router's firmware if it is running with an older version. Firmware is available for download at: https://www.asus.com/networking-iot-servers/wifi-routers/asus-wifi-routers/rt-ax1800s/helpdesk_bios?model2Name=RT-AX1800S.
