Asus Wireless Router Port Forwarding Range

Long range and easy set up. The second ASUS router I’ve owner.

Very Good Wireless Router it performs very well and has an exceptional range .

NOTE - this is not an easy to use product, it is not intended for the average computer user, some degree of technical know-how is required! I have a small but busy network in my house. I work out of the home, and there are 4 people online all day every day gaming, watching movies, and generally abusing the internet bandwidth. In recent years with broadband in my area breaking the 30 meg range, I started noticing something. I wasn't getting the speeds advertised to me by my cable company. At first, when the speeds were advertised at 40 or 50 megs, I just assumed I was getting it on a bad day when I came back with 35 meg speed tests (cable internet does fluctuate after all). But now a days I'm told I have a 90 meg line, and I still only get 35 megs max on a good day. I'm a programmer, but I'm not much a network guy, so I started going out and researching it a bit. Turns out despite having a gigabit switch, the biggest bottleneck will be the NAT throughput... how fast your router can redirect packets from the outside of your network to the ip addresses in your local subnet. Sure enough, all the consumer routers out there have really low throughput, or in the case of mine ALSO had the issue of overheating constantly which also hurt it. I continued researching, found this little guy (srsly, the size of this thing is amazing), and noted that users were getting several hundred megs NAT throughput, if not near gigabit speed through it. Well over my 90 meg line. So I snatched one up, as well as an Wi-Fi Access Point (decided separate the two) and sure enough my speeds went to what is advertised to me. My ONLY complaint is that the model I got (the ER-X) had a bug in the firmware version that made the 'port forwarding' wizard not work. You can still set it up using actual NAT destinations (which port-forwarding really is a wrapper around). It's just really annoying to stare at the 1 click port-forwarding wizard when you're writing you firewall rules.

Super fast speeds. UI is a little complicated for port forwarding, faster gaming. The blast package thing is cool until they want you to purchase more. But once everything up and running as I have it paired with zenpro towers for mesh system.

Both ethernet and wifi have been great. I finally was able to setup port forwarding and static ip rules with no issues. Also love the traffic analyzer in the GUI.

I am very satisfied with the performance of the ASUS ZenWiFi XT9 router. It has good range and coverage and was quite easy to set up. So far I have no complaints. My sons told me how much they liked their ASUS WiFi routers so when I needed to upgrade my home system ASUS was my first pick.

Hello Asus. This wireless router is excellent. Easy to setup and works great. This is my 3rd Asus wireless router and when it's time for a new one down the line I will purchase another Asus product.

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'm a novice and have been using an ASUS wireless routers for years. Bought this AP22 and a 1930 switch about a year ago from B&H. Made a pfsense box out of an old pc to do the router and firewall The whole setup has been running well without issues. Extremely stable. No more resetting the router or Wi-Fi. Very happy with the system

This is my first ASUS router and it will not be the last. Its good a good router for everyone.
