Review: Over 18 months in to ownership and utterly faultless!! - If you are looking for lots of technical information about data transfer rates, networks diagnostics and all that stuff that will have most of us losing the will to live - read another review! :) This is a simple explanation on why this is a seriously good router and major upgrade over the stuff your provider (BT/Talk Talk/Plusnet etc) supplies. Before you start, make sure you know your account details. If you don't know, a (quick?) call to your provider or a bit of searching via google as many of these are generic. You will need to enter this in the setup. Secondly download the app to your phone. It is easily found on the Apple or Google play stores. Search Asus router or similar and you will find it - or use the QR code in the manual. To be honest the setup is as simple as that. Power down your current router, unplug and then just plug in the network cable to the connector marked WAN and power up the Asus router. Fire up the app on your phone, select the model of router - it is on the box - and follow the instructions. Congratulations to Asus on the most straightforward setup of a router I have ever done (and I have done a number over the years). You can turn off the silly RGB LED display if you so wish. I did and it just now sits there silently doing its job. There is so much more you can do, from setting timers on certain connections (say a kids phone/tablet) to deciding what devices get priority and so very much more. However, if you are unsure on it, just let it manage things automatically. One other thing, try turning OFF the 2.4ghz frequency and running just on the 5ghz. You should find you get much faster connection speeds and no loss of range. And that is coming from someone who lives in a 200+ year old cottage with solid walls more than a foot thick! If you have a more recent phone (S10 or newer) you should now get wifi6 connections which give a serious increase in download speeds! All in all, if there is a better combination of price, performance and ease of use, I have not seen it. If your current router is giving you issues or you don't think the wi-fi around the house is very good then you should be very happy with this. I will update over the coming months, but if it continues as it has in the first month then there won't be a lot to report. Highly recommended! Update 12th January 2022. No change to the above. Still working utterly flawlessly with rock solid connections both wired and wireless. I did say these updates may not have much to report! :) Update 7th March 2022. Well I am afraid there is still nothing to report! I did a firmware update which took all of a couple of minutes to complete and still everything works absolutely perfectly. Connections are totally stable and speeds (and coverage) remain far superior to the BT kit used previously. Update 2nd July 2022. Another firmware update applied sometime in June is the only thing to report. Oh and I had to switch the 2.4ghz band back on to allow an app to work (Govee lights). Still working absolutely perfectly and the speeds are rock solid along with the connection. Update 18th May 2023. I still cannot fault this router! A couple of firmware updates applied since the last update and absolutely zero issues with connection. Seriously, if there is a better router (ignore wifi 7, we are not there yet), certainly for the price, I am not aware of it! If you are a BT internet user you really should get this, it is a significant upgrade over the standard kit and is much more stable. Well do ASUS you have delivered a peach of a product! Thanks for getting to the end of the review, I hope you found it useful.
Review: Excellent Router. Amazing Wired Performance and good Wireless Performance. - RT-AX82U AX5400 Dual Band WiFi 6 Gaming Router Router arrives boxed with a network cable to connect to a modem, a manual, and a power block. The aerials are fixed so nothing to do there. The power block is very small so I assume the router uses very little power. Oddly the power block is in several pieces and you have to add the correct plug unit for your country. There are two, one is the UK, I suppose the other is European. I have to say that the router is not particularly impressive to look at. It certainly does not look like the money it cost. I refrain from saying “cheap” but yeah, not expensive for sure! It's also ( well at least to me ) surprisingly small and light. But, in a darkened room and the LEDs on it looks amazing! Reminds me of the heads of the machines in War of the World. Creepy stuff! The user interface is good, and if you have had an Asus router before you will be 100% familiar with it. There really isn’t a lot of difference with this router and any other Asus except perhaps for the lack of WTF. A few things are missing, but a few things have been added too, so it's all good. There are tons of features. The router comes with a thick manual, but before you get excited like I did, it’s only two pages long but in hundreds and hundreds of different languages. It looks like an encyclopedia but it’s really not. Typical Asus,there is no documentation and it really leaves you wanting information. Enrolling on their global forum is a must. Setup is automatic. The moment you open a browser it asks you a series of questions. In passing, it works on both wired or wireless. Be ready with some passwords you want to use and any user names and passwords you might need for your ISP. When the router finishes it’s initial setup, write down the address of the router! I didn’t and later found out that it assigns a really unusual number and I couldn’t find the configuration web page again. If that happens you have to manually reset the router ( pin hole on the back - hold for two seconds ) and start again. The performance is very good indeed. You notice right from the start that the configuration pages from the router load in almost instantly. the wireless is not the strongest but it's good for it's price. Lets face it, if you are a gamer then you are using a wired port and the wireless is for not so serious stuff, like grandma's laptop. Wired, the performance is really good. Better than my old router which is the older AC88U. I guess it must come down to the chips inside. My old AC88U had a higher build quality and was a much more impressive machine, yet it's slower. I really, really like the addition of priority devices. That is an extremely welcome addition to the software. This basically allows you to specify anything that you use for playing games and priority will always be given to that device. Automatically the device plugged in to the “game” port gets that priority but you can delete that or add other devices as you wish. Love that! The only big downside to the router is that there no Merlin for it and there probably never will be because its the wrong chipset manufacturer for Merlin, but as yet I haven’t stumbled over any problems. The router runs surprisingly cool. My old AC88U used to get as hot as toast. Nearly a month since I bought it now and it hasn't made any mistakes. It just sits quietly in the corner of the room doing what it is supposed to be doing without error. Do I like it? Yes. I had some doubts about moving to a cheaper router but I have no regrets. It's fantastic value and the wired performance is amazing. It's not short on features and I definitely recommend it. When the router was first released it was fantastic value for money, but now in 2022 the price has risen so much it's difficult to say that it's fantastic value any more. It is a great router but it seems somewhat over-priced now.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does anyone have any experience of using this in place of vodafone gigafast (500 and 900mbps) thg3000. better coverage/set up/difficulties?**
A: yes this will connect directly to the gigafast fibre ethernet port, no need to use the Vodafone router, but you need to get the dsl user and pass from Vodafone live chat, set wan type to PPoE insert account login, then on LAN->IPTV set Internet VID 911. Or use the wizard and insert these settings

**Q: According to asus website asus rt-ax82u ax5400 has a built in dsl port so can be used on bt as a modem/router.  no mention here can anybody confirm?**
A: No, this router does not have a dsl port on it and cannot be used with BT broadband unless you connect to a modem first.  If you want to use a dual router/modem then Asus do make a version of this router that is DSL-ax82U rather than the RT-ax82U, which is a router only.

**Q: When configuring asus router, there is no auto-detection of internet. it asks me to create new network (virgin hub 3.0 in modem mode.) any ideas?**
A: Can’t remember as was some time ago. But it was simple. Search some of the reviews as they might give more info. All I did was put virgin router into modem mode. Connect it via cable to ASUS router. Now at this point you might need to reboot the virgin router. I think some of reviews say that and then configure ASUs router through app

**Q: what are the frequency ranges that you can access?**
A: All frequencies, but I had to return to the standard frequencies as I had a lot of problems with my Hue Bridge that disconnected and even after changing frequencies on that, still would not accept the 160mhz frequencies. I also think it might be Virgin modem coming into play too because I had problems with the higher channels with that router too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome feature packed gaming router with great coverage.
*by J***S on 18 April 2021*

Before this I had purchased and used a Netgear Nighthawk WiFi 6 Mesh WiFi system, with one main downstairs and one satellite upstairs. The signal on that was great, no complaints or whatsoever. But the gaming experience was horrible, it would have random high pings every now and then. At first I thought it was caused my PCs WiFi card, so I tried many things including changing the drivers and such. Nothing had worked. It wasn't possible to test on my other devices because I can't play the same game on them. I lived with this for about 3 months using my 5g hotpot when I game, until one day it just decides to not detect Internet from my modem at all. Tried many things, reset many many times and gave up. Now I have to praise the Amazon service. I wasn't able to contact customer support for netgear as it was out of support warranty (not the same as product warranty and I never knew it was a thing). So I decided to message Amazon customer support. Like many cases they solved for me before, this one was no exception. They let me RETURN AND REFUNDED the whole amount even though it was used! Without any questions asked! Never had this level of customer service anywhere else. Anyways, getting out of topic here. This router however, has been awesome since I've bought it. It was very easy to setup and it has nearly the same signal coverage as the mesh system which says a lot. Turns out I don't need a mesh but rather one router that works well with great coverage. Not only was the coverage great, it is packed with features compared to netgear one. With things like VPN, open port gaming, prenatal control and many many more, all stock firmware and easily accessible. Even the app is very handy and easy to use, at least for me. It really does take gaming seriously with what it has to offer. Whether you game on desktop or mobile it has you covered. The ping issue has never happened again and it felt as if the ping was even reduced a little (maybe just me haha). Overall it's a great buy if you want one for gaming or even just everyday use. My house isn't that huge but it has 2 floors, 4 bedrooms with kitchen being extended to the garden. Not sure of the exact measurement as it's my parents house but I guess it fits in as a small to medium size.
