Asus Wireless Mesh Router

ASUS RT-AX86U Pro replaced old original release NETGEAR Nighthawk r7000 workhorse that was failing. Works great, probably even better, so let's upgrade separated garage connection (NETGEAR EX6100) with ASUS RT-AX1800S using AI Mesh! Does advanced tech 5Ghz or Ethernet back haul (not older, slower 2.4Ghz distance) so put router between extender and base router and very happy Mesh network from parts! Used App to OCD tune signal dBm strength (note: app sometimes shows "offline" things that are WORKING but barely). 2.5Gb port keeps gaming pc from complaining about not being optimized (internet .5 GB :). Handling multiple phones, TVs, Quests, PCs, printers, NETGEAR unmanaged switches, etc.

I have had ASUS routers in the past. Never had an issue with setup or performance. This new router mesh system reflects the same performance level. No black out areas on 4 levels.

We have a large, two story home and needed a mesh system for coverage. I had two older ASUS routers but needed an upgrade for the central router. The GT-AXE 16000 proved to be an outstanding main router and the ASUS software made it a breeze to set up the mesh system. My game room is as far away from the main router as possible, just because that is where the spare room is, and the combination gives me blazing speeds for streaming games.

Removing the Router from the box took longer than set up. This is my second Mesh system from ASUS. The previous one I had for 6 years and this new one is fantastic for Wi-Fi Dense neighborhood that won’t drop off. The ease of set up and the tools you have for priority and peripheral management is outstanding. I highly recommend the invest.

When I added upgraded WiFi security cameras to my home wireless, I quickly realized I needed to replace my ASUS four-year-old router and mesh system in order to stream content on multiple TVs and other devices. This is my third ASUS router, which I purchased with two mesh devices to extend coverage. My two-story house is right at 3000 square feet, and I am getting great WiFi connectivity inside and out. Wow! Installation was quick and simple for both the router and the mesh. The app is great and makes troubleshooting easy. The router is huge, but then it was pricey. If I really want to show it off, I can light it up using the app! I didn’t note the size when I read the reviews online. I may have let references to size deter me on this model, but I am glad I chose this router over less expensive ASUS models.

We are very happy with this mesh system. We used it to extend our network from an ASUS ROG router. The AiMesh seamlessly transitions clients as we leave one WiFi zone and enter another. I would highly receommend this system.

I replaced my Google Mesh router and access points with this ASUS router and it’s been working great! I have an 1800 sq foot 2 story house and it covers my whole house, plus the backyard. Speeds are great and so far, no intermittent connectivity. I’ll report back in a few months if it starts to have any issues.

I was finally able to setup my AI Mesh with the older ASUS GT-5300 routers using this router has the router, and the other six as nodes.

This is the fastest router I've ever had. Worked great adding to my Asus mesh system. Quick shipping. Overall, great transaction for a great product with B&H.

Great coverage everywhere. Mesh units work great, it’s like standing beside your wireless router!
