ASUS RT-AX88U Reviews
Sysadmin paradise
As a very security oriented and network conscious person, I was searching for a good, budget friendly router to replace my aging Netgear main router. THIS WAS IT! the router is extremely customizable (so much that you get root ssh access), very fast, and had good coverage across multiple floors and outside walls. TLDR: I'm buying all of my next routers from ASUS. Very highly recommended
Asus Got It Right
Setup was a breeze, w/o a single problem (1st time out of 3 wifi routers). Performance is strong and steady in our former weak signal areas. Browser interface straightforward, easy to navigate.
Best wireless router I've ever owned
I previously owned the RT-AC88U and it excelled at everything including long range. With 2 new laptops in the house that had WiFi 6 onboard, it was time to upgrade my router to WiFi 6 as well. This is a high-end router that excels at supporting my 26 devices in my house including many streaming devices. Rock-solid Trend Micro security app built-in that shields you from malicious sites. The well laid out menu is easy to understand and is a joy for advanced hobbyists as it allows extreme control of your computing environment. I have been sold on Asus routers for years now. I used to always buy the old brand names like Netgear, Linksys and D-Link, but this Asus in in a class above.
I Like This Router
Easy to setup and significantly faster data flow than my previous router.
Asus ax88u
Excellent router. It is a very secured router. It has a steady wifi signal .
Good feature set and performance
Working well, relatively easy to set up. I especially like the USB FTP and Samba feature and Openvpn. Performance was very fast, and firmware updates are easy. I had a few glitches setting up Alexa and occasionally the router would lose contact with the internet.
Excellent service
Excellent router, easy to setup. Order the 28th nov and got it in Ireland the 1st. Didn't have to worry about taxes, BH did everything for me. Contacted customer service before I placed the order and they were very helpful,
Way Fast
System speed increased significantly. Easy too set up.
