Product Details
Web ID: 17488133Handles devices great
I bought this (a week ago) brand of router to handle 2 xboxs and other devices, however yesterday when I left home and went to check on my security camera it was kicked off the wifi network and I couldn't do anything until I got home. I am a little worried incase I ever go on vacation and it happens again I won't be able to check my home to make sure it is safe.

Best home router ever!
I have used numerous brands of home routers over 20+ years - ASUS is by far the best! The web interface is fully featured and intuitive to use. I was up and running in just a few minutes including connecting my own USB SSD drive to the router and using it as a NAS. They make very easy to be up and running quickly on a basic configuration then, at your leisure, use the GUI to explore the many options and features provided by the router.

Fantastic router, easy to setup!
Bought my RT-AX86U just about a month ago. I initially bridged it with my Fios Router, but didn't like the way it ran. I then reset the router and connected it directly to Fios and it runs beautifully! No issues and hiccups. I run NordVPN on it and having that feeling of security can't beat! On my gig connection my speeds with NordVPN running are still great 875Mbps Down and 939Mbps Up.

Looks GREAT so far!
Installation was easy. Since I was replacing an old router with similar inputs, it simply required moving a wire from the old router to a similar input on the new one. The one hitch was that using the Windows 10 browser service as directed requires the http protocol instead of https, but my main browser refuses http, and the other one I use makes http a hassle. I went in through the IP V4 address without difficulty. I expect most people use the phone app, but I'm mainly on a PC, and I want to control the router from the PC. The Asus software did not like my changing authentication to WPA3 but accepted it. Coverage of my 1300 ft2 apartment is much better than my 2 old routers, one of which was set up as an access point. Connection from my ThinkBook after waking up is faster than with the old routers, but it can still take longer than I'd like. I bought Asus for the security and free updates. I've been another brand's customer for 10 years, but I'm too ...um...frugal... to like the subscription model they use for router-based security. Basic setup of AIProtection required changing one switch icon from off to on and turning off WPS and uPNP. The Asus RT-AX-68U uses the pro version of the software and costs less than the full pkg from Trend-Micro, so it looks like a bargain to me. The only reason I haven't given 5 stars is that I've had the unit for less than a week, which isn't enough time for weaknesses to make themselves apparent. Also, Fedex wasn't great. First they told me I'd get the pkg on Wednesday, then Tuesday, then Monday. They did not deliver on Monday. I ship a lot of stuff, and USPS has done the best for me, and I hope Asus takes another look at their shipping contracts. I don't make heavy use of the router - 2 PCs use it during the day, and one TV streams at night along with some PC use. Looking at the stats provided by Asus, I think it can handle a lot more traffic than I feed it.

Under warranty replacement
This is my 2nd RT-AX68U. The 1st stopped working after a lightening storm. It was still under warranty so I sent it in for repair (at my RMA shipping expense). Apparently it could not be repaired, so ASUS sent a new (shrink wrapped) as a replacement. This router performs very well upstairs in my small house (but I do use a WiFi extender downstairs for extra signal strength).

Great Fast and Reliable Router!
The RT-AX68U is allowing us to take advantage of the faster throughput of our new WiFi 6 devices. I find the Asus router Administration interface is very easy to navigate and makes customization very easy. Automatic firmware upgrades work seamlessly.

RT-AX68U is worth the upgrade
Upgrading from the RT-AC68U that I had since it came out and liking the newer security and more features. I just wish the Web History gives deeper history of all URL's within the network for better analysis for all websites.
