## Description

Review: Easy Setup and So Much More Control - I bought this to replace a Sky router that was causing me problems with latency, particularly when gaming, due to the lack of proper QoS controls. The difference has been impressive. Setup was surprisingly easy and I had everything up and running in around an hour. The ASUS app also makes it really simple to monitor the network and manage the settings from my phone. What really surprised me was just how much more control you get compared with the standard Sky router. The QoS options are particularly useful for gaming, and features such as the built-in VPN, guest network and traffic routing give you a lot more flexibility over how your network works. The range is significantly better than Sky's default router for Wi-Fi. For me, this has been a significant upgrade and has solved the issues I was having with latency. Considering this is one of ASUS's entry-level models, I'm genuinely impressed with how much functionality is included. If you're a gamer or simply want more control over your home network than your ISP router provides, I'd definitely recommend it.
Review: Cheap and impressive upgrade from ISP router - Like many others, I bought this to replace the sky max hub which i found to be less than adequate to serve my 3 bed house. The RT-AX52 was one of the first routers that popped up when searching for a WiFi 6 router, and after a quick google session, found that it was compatible with the sky fibre. As others say, it was straight forward to set up by simply connecting the cable from the ONT to the WAN port, and switching the unit on. I then navigated to the routers web page where it asked me to set a login password, and then enabled me to set my SSID and password. The wifi signal throughout the house is now much improved, with the asus giving a 5Ghz connection at near enough full speed in areas where the sky hub had struggled to maintain a 2.4Ghz connection, even with a multitude of devices all connected and streaming at the same time. The router has many other useful functions which i am taking advantage of including a free DDNS hostname and VPN server, aswell as parental controls so i can restrict the kids from accessing things they shouldnt be accessing. The app comes in handy for seeing who's connected, and also enables me to block internet access to certain devices at the click of a button which helps keeps the kids in line. Also, if you need to reboot it for any reason, it is really quick and you dont have to wait 20 minutes for it come back on like you do with ISP routers! All in all I would recomend this router to anyone looking to improve their wifi coverage and speed, from beginners to experts. Really easy to set up and use - even for those with no experience, and has the advanced features available for those who need them. 10/10 and a bargain at this price - treat yourself.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little router
*by H***E on 3 January 2026*

Arrived exactly as expected despite ordering on Boxing Day. Really pleased with this little router. Was very easy to set up, I’m getting too old now to do anything other than plug and play but that literally was all that was needed. I bought this to replace the router which came with my full fibre broadband package but was slow and dropped out in certain parts of my 2bed cottage. I am going to be working from home so needed something reliable and this little router has surpassed expectations. The signal and speeds I am getting are exactly what I should be both download and upload. Absolutely worth what I paid for it and highly recommended. Great product, great service thank you.
