Review: If you’re a gamer or someone who relies on connection speed. - I’m a gamer and remote worker, So I wanted Two things from this router. 1. was to get better Wifi and connection speeds/stability and with updated technology in general which means this thing has newer technology than what was available in my basic router that My ISP provides. 2. I needed options to see security and other features not available to me from my other router. So I got that and then some. With the ability to customize my router settings unlike with my ISP router I was able to setup the newer technology in the Menu. Which is the router settings page. Firefox worked perfectly and connected to the router immediately. The router setup was easy but I was cautious. It prompted to UPDATE FIRMWARE which I and almost everybody recommend just make sure theirs no other programs running on the PC. I used Asus recommendations on their website for best security. I couldnt mess with these settings on my old router because my ISP locked down the page. I would recommend this if you need a more reliable router than your ISP provides. Its much better, trust me. I instantly saw the speed increase and it doesnt buffer at all when watching TV or on PC. Very smooth. So the gaming is far better experience than before. Im getting better latency in games like MW3 which has terrible servers to begin with. Sure you can’t get rid of the packet burst completely because of this. But this helps very much and Im glad I bought this. In the future who knows I might get something better and use this for its mesh capability. So there is that option. But honestly I couldn't ask for much more. Just make sure you research and turn off certain features that you dont need. Asus has recommendations that should help even in the settings page UI. Side note, I love MSI and ASUS boxes their nice quality. Review: Great router - Replaced my tp-link router as soon as I heard about a possible ban on tp-link in the US. I’ve had the router for a couple months now and it’s very reliable. The app makes it easy to manage your home network and perform updates. Really great value. Only thing I had issues with was the initial setup. I had to enable location services for the app for my phone to connect to the router using the app. Also, the instructions only have router set up with a modem. It’s doesn’t have a fiber set up. If your home internet doesn’t use a modem, a coax cable plugging into the network device, but only an Ethernet cable. Then that’s all you need to plug in. ## Features - New-Gen WiFi Standard – Supporting 802.11ax WiFi standard for better efficiency and throughput. - Ultra-fast WiFi Speed – RT-AX57 supports 1024-QAM for dramatically faster wireless connections.
