Looks stylish but drops wifi frequently. Poor control interface in the Android app. Overall unreliable when used for work. I returned this product in favor of a cable modem/router combo from another manufacturer

This ASUS router was easy to set up and is a huge improvement over my previous router. Signal is strong and corrected many of the connection problems I previously had in the house.
The mbps internet download and upload speeds for my old router ranged between 16 and 75...same with upload speeds. My new ASUS RT-AX1800s for downloads averaged 475mbps and 530 mbps for uploads. The installation was very well documented and the ASUS smart phone app was truly helpful. The installation instructions were clear, succinct, well diagrammed and even at my age, 85, easy to implement.
Help me to get reconnected however didn't help me to stay secured!

I am disappointed that I cannot just simply extend my current wifi without it creating its own network. I need to walk around my house and roam from my AT&T router to the ASUS router seemingly. The only option close to what I need makes you connect wireless to your existing WiFi but I need to connect via wired connection that’s why I bought this device but not able to

Dear Johnny R,
Thank you for your comment.
We do understand your disappointment with the product and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are experiencing weak signal strength. Certainly this router will extent your WIFI coverage or range. Typically, the coverage of this router is up to 4,800 sq. ft. To resolve the weak signal, place the router in the center of the area you want to cover, avoid placing the router near metal objects, electronic devices or direct sunlight, position the router on a flat, hard surface and halfway
between the floor and ceiling. Additionally, dense building materials, such as gypsum, concrete walls and planks can affect Wi-Fi signal penetration. Also, 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/us/networking-iot-servers/wifi-routers/asus-wifi-routers/rt-ax1800s/helpdesk_bios?model2Name=RT-AX1800S. For helpful tips on how to setup the router correctly, please visit our Product Support page at: https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1016107/ .
