Arris Wireless Router Link Light Flashing

Router is simple and faster than my previous D-link at 150mbps.I like that I don't have to see all the flashing lights.

I had an old D-Link router that began to have issues with its wireless connections throughout my house, so I figured it was time for a new router. Decided to try the Nighthawk AX4 AX3000 since it was a new model, was on sale and had good reviews. Setting up the router was super easy, barely an inconvenience, via the phone app and the instructions provided. Even my old AVR has its wireless connection back after having lost it for over a year. I initially had issues with the Ethernet connection to my desktop computer which is an old HP, but it seems to has resolved itself lately. The signal strength is still a little weak in my master bedroom and in the kitchen, but I am still able to connect without dropping the signal. So far, so good!

This is my first ASUS router. I wish I had started with it! I had always used TP-Link. I started with a refurbished TP-Link-AX11000 (2.4GHz dropped out at random). Returned that and bought a NEW TP-Link AX10000. Experienced the same exact problem. Long story. The ASUS GT-AX11000 will not disappoint. I've had it for 6 weeks without a single issue. Super easy to setup. Love the ability to add custom pictures for the clients. Top notch equipment. My computer's MB is an ASUS, so no big surprise. Like I said...I wish I had started with it! My network has wired computers, wired TV\firesticks, wireless smart switches, and wireless camera. My camera frame rate is maxed out now without loss of quality. Thank You ASUS!

i solve my several ethernet lines to link together with my router.

but it is unsettling to have the upstream light flashing

I was using an Arris (Motorola) modem/router combo. It was constantly disconnecting me from my Comcast internet service. Comcast Tech came to the house, boosted the signal and ran a new coax from the pedestal to my house. Same thing. I bought the AC 1900 over two weeks ago and have had no problems. The speed is much higher than with my Arris and the range is much greater also. Installation was super easy on the Comcast website. This is a great product and I highly recommend it. I also highly recommend B&H Photo. Ordering from them was quick and easy, free, fast shipping, and a very fair price. You can’t go wrong with this modem/router or B&H.

I am using this with my new Arris S33 modem on xfinity's (up to) 1200Mbps service. Xfinity delivers 800 , and I get 400 wifi from the router, throughout my two story 2300sf house. The router is located centrally on the second floor.

I bought this router to replace my flawed Arris the had the bad Intel Puma6 chipset, and already I’ve seen major improvements to performance with WiFi as well as with gaming. With the Arris I’d have massive ping spikes upwards of 600 , with the Netgear my connection stays stable and smooth. Install and activation was a breeze (xfinity made it difficult). I’m happy with my purchase as of writing this.

This thing is about as tall as a typical router. It's a third taller the the Arris modem I was using before. The power plug is somewhat large, wish that was a standard size and ran to a brick so the plug would fit better. Other then that, it's been plug and forget, which is exactly what you want from this type of equipment.

First off, let me say how skeptical I was about what the true performance of this cable modem/router 1 satellite setup would be. The reviews I read just seemed too good to be true. And my townhome has 3 levels throughout which to spread the wifi magic, a challenge for which my Arris Surfboard was just unable to meet. The further I got away from the router, the download speeds would drop drastically, making it difficult for my wife to work in the office and making me wonder why we were paying for all this promised speed. I tried plug-in extenders which improved things somewhat, but the long distances and numbers of walls/doors/stairs and other obstacles to my 5 GHz signal just seemed insurmountable. That is, until I got the Orbi! The cable modem / router is where the Arris lived previously on the first level, and the satellite is on the third level. My download speeds up there are nearly as good as they are next to the router, and better yet, I’m getting slightly in excess of the speed I’m paying for! What a game changer! It’s been stable, no dropped connections, and the app is fantastic. It saved us from having to open walls to run Ethernet around the house. I’m really satisfied, and at least in this instance, I got what I paid for!
