ASUS BE3600 Reviews

Great features at a great price

I’ve used this for a few weeks. So far, it’s been working great. It’s my main router connected to 2 other ASUS mesh. It great and coverage is excellent in my 3 story home. I have approximately 12-16 devices connected simultaneously and have not had any issues so far. I purchased it on sale locally and it’s a great buy for people on a budget. It was easy to setup using the ASUS app.

WHAT A DIFFERENT!

I started having problems with netgear and decided to get something different. Not only the price much lower than old router,it was far advanced. I immediately saw a big change in speed and functionality. BTW, it was so easy to set up. It has a really good app. Very happy with purchase!
