Good router... When it works...

I've had many problems with this router over the 6 months I've owned it. From connection issues to speed issues. I would have to factory reset every couple weeks. Asus tech support was a joke. if you can get ahold of someone you can understand when you call them, good for you. Every time i called, and waited on hold forever, they tried blaming anything and everything other than the router. They said settings on my pc were wrong at one point. Even tried blaming cox, who I called first every time to verify everything was ok on there end to the modem. Once i finally got someone to accept it was the router, i had to pay shipping to get it fixed or replaced with a refurbished model (and it is not light so even flat rate shipping with ins. is $20+). I guess a firmware update finally fixed the problem though, so far... Now that its working, WIFI range is a joke for almost a $300 router and thanks to a firmware update at some point, you cant adjust the power to try to get better range. It even has it listed in the manual. My devices lose connection a whole 50 Ft away from the router. And on top of all that Best Buy changed there return policy (I dont know when, i just know it used to be longer) to 15 days and when I tried to exchange it on day 17 for the same exact model, i was told there was nothing they could do and i would have to file a warranty claim, which Best Buy does not handle for Asus.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Is this a MU-MIMO router? Thought it was but don't see that listed in the description.
It is a mu-mimo router however it is still in testing.

Will this router be able to replace the xfinity router but this router has a cable that connects to it and the Asus one does not. So how will this work?
Yes it will however you will have to purchase a separate cable modem compatible with your service provider, generally arris is compatable with most isp's. Talk to them to find out how many down channels you will need for your speed, they range from 4 channels down up to 32 channels down. you should be able to google the model you have now from xfinity and find out how many down it is and get the same.
