" ... I returned to the Asus brand with their newest top of the line router. ... I have never had any issues with this or prior Asus routers. ... Would absolutely recommend this and any other Asus router. ... "
" ... So far I am very pleased with coverage and signal strength we are getting from the unit. ... "

" ... Even when using default, out-of-the-box settings it has a connection failure several times per week – sometimes multiple times per day. ... They filled a support ticket promising to work with their developers to fix the problem, but stopped responding to the issue after a few days. ... "
" ... I hoping I can return but I will be looking for another brand (due to defective product right out of the box or just plain horrible support - either one is not good if you are looking for reliable service). ... "
" ... I guess I should have listened to the reviews and just wait another year or so until the device is up to spec. ... "
" ... Maybe I'll try to after AX again in a couple of years. ... "
" ... I just looked and the return window closed 13 days ago so I am stuck with a piece. ... "
" ... Figured maybe it was just a bad batch and bumped up to the AX88U to get into the next gen and it was somehow WORSE. ... "
" ... 3 weeks later they've not generated an RMA and as such, not been able to send it in yet. ... "
" ... This thing is only a couple months old - would not recommend at all. ... "

" ... Very easy setup but signal sometimes can go out at times but could be my internet flaking out cause we have had problems with it in the past ... "
" ... Straight forward install. ... "
" ... I setup the RT-AX88U without a problem using the elegant on board setup routine. ... The RT-AX88U has operated flawlessly since installation four weeks ago. ... "
" ... Easy setup but I did need to plug in to the router to set it up, then do a driver update for the wifi on my laptop. ... "
" ... Setup is really easy, about few steps, less than 5 mins, work with Fios modem. ... "
" ... Installation just took me less than 5mins, then I can enjoy high speed internet. ... "
" ... I was told that there maybe some problems with the Mesh setup but I don't need it and won't bother to try it out. ... "

" ... The speed is blazing fast on devices that can connect & the UI is very robust. ... "
" ... It's fast, has an easily configurable interface, has tons of options, plus, any asus device can mesh with it, making it EXTREMELY powerful. ... "
" ... Partly because of features and partly because I've been using Asus for years and was comfortable with the features and interface. ... "
" ... I took a gamble and upgraded to the AX version based on the additional capabilities (speed oh my) and I loved the ASUS interface (I use the stock version, not Merlin). ... I also love the trend net security that is built in. ... "
" ... The interface is responsive and clean, and the additional security features seem to be working(I disabled bitdefender on one of my kids laptop so we will see) The WTF gaming didn't seem to make any improvement but other than that everything is as advertised. ... "
" ... I will suggest you can set it up in AP/bridge mode in the interface. ... "
" ... Firmware and android app are well built and have a lot of functionality. ... "
" ... This seemed an obvious upgrade with a familiar interface. ... "

" ... But finally I can retire (with no replacement from Apple) the airports due to the superior technology in this ASUS RT-AX88U. ... "
" ... have 31 devices connected to it as of now. ... "
" ... Another outstanding Asus product. ... "
" ... It works great but over the years the number of devices in my household has increased significantly (almost 50 devices) and many of them are Chromecasts streaming Hulu Live TV. ... I have not even once gone offline and all my devices connect and work perfectly. ... "
" ... I'm able to transfer files to/from my server at nearly 1.5GB/s speeds wirelessly to my Razer laptop with a AX200NGW wifi card. ... "

" ... We cut the cord with our cable company and need to upgrade the WiFi in our house. ... "
" ... Having 8 LAN ports to connect to is nice and the initial setup was click click done. ... "
" ... What I need is a fast and reliable router with good range, and most importantly, 8-LAN ports as the router is the central hub for all my AV equipment which wired connections are always preferable. ... "
" ... My TVs (fire and Roku) show their highest streaming speed they have ever shown even when hard wired to ethernet. ... "
" ... I waited until m.2 AX wifi adapters were available before I bought it. ... "
" ... Last thing, AX11000 has the 2.5GbE port. ... Neat, but with the 8x 1GbE ports on the AX88u you have plenty of available ports to run link aggregation on, say, a separate switch with 2.5/5/10GbE support in the future for a 2Gb pipe into any of the direct router clients, while you can put any insanely fast clients on the switch directly later when those speeds start being adopted. ... "
" ... The extra LAN ports is wonderful. ... The hidden front USB port is very useful for desk accessories & phone charging. ... "
" ... This new router provides greater coverage than those I have before, basically compatible with all gears I have, 8 LAN ports are good to work with Apple TV, NAS, Nintendo switch . ... "

" ... Old Asus routers had a more stable quality control and firmware. ... "
" ... Installed new firmware first thing. ... "
" ... I was looking for a traffic analyzing, enterprise-functionality router with the XR500 with every nerd knob possible (like Tomato firmware offers), and got a dumbed down buggy experience with barely even basic configuration options. ... The AX88u is supported by Merlin which is the snappiest, slickest firmware out there for Asus routers. ... "
" ... I am extremely happy with this future proof router that includes the same reliable firmware. ... "
" ... I will up again later to 5 if it stays rock solid like it has been since the latest firmware. ... "
