5.0 out of 5 stars Good router
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2024
I purchased this router in August 2023 after my old one started dropping the connection. I found it very easy to install, signal strength is good throughout a 3-story house, and it works well with Comcast. After nine months of use, there have been no problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars So far very impressed
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2024
After a month of using it - works well, the signal is strong, have a good data transfer speed. Installation was simple. The router cover the whole 2 story house without any issue. Most importantly and why I choose it - you can rely solely on your 3G/4G android phone hotspot. Also you can connect your printer, scanner and NAS over LAN.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great home or small office router
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2024
Pretty easy web-based setup, and no lag with multiple devices and streaming TV active. Can easily bind connected device(s) to VPN provider of choice as client, can set as VPN server, can set custom DNS provider of choice (OpenDNS, Quad9, etc), and has worked flawlessly for a couple of years now.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great management interface, good WiFi range but need some help for entire house coverage
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2021
OVERVIEW: Good router, fantastic management interface (can use web interface or phone app), good range, fair price, solid warranty, great reputation for hardware updates. Somewhat complicated set-up, watch out for MAC setting during installation. Range not as good as Netgear Nighthawk (R7000/AC1900). If your house isn't too big, this router could provide enough coverage for the home and would be worth considering, especially if you'd like to upgrade to WiFi 6. For a large home, I suggest considering a Mesh WiFi networking solution instead.

DETAILED REVIEW: I was using a Netgear Nighthawk before this ASUS RT-AX3000. I gave up on the Nighthawk after the latest firmware update from Netgear AGAIN broke the Nighthawk. After the update it was patched against FragAttack but then my router had to be rebooted every 1-2 days or WiFi would stop working. Or is that the purpose of the patch.. break WiFi so you can't be hacked? After having had firmware updates break the router a number of times before (last time was in December of 2020, right around Christmas - applied an update, broke router, had to factory reset, install firmware update and then reconfigure my entire network, which took about 3 hours; I have a complicated setup), I decided to try something else.

I had always heard of ASUS so did some research. This router meets many of my requirements: WiFi 6 (so my newer devices could benefit from the added speed), professed good range, reasonable price and good reviews. I also think ASUS has a great reputation when it comes to reliable and frequent firmware updates. Additionally, ASUS offers a 2-year warranty for routers in the USA (it may vary in the rest of the world, not sure). This is twice as long as Netgear's basic warranty (1 year only), so I felt confident in this router choice.

Received the router, and it took a while to install. ASUS's quick installation doesn't allow you to update the MAC address/clone the MAC originally registered with the internet provider, so at first I was getting a RED internet connection light. After digging through the config (which I could only do AFTER ASUS setup finished), I found the issue. I then updated the MAC address using the "MAC Clone" feature to match what my internet provider has registered for my account. Still didn't work, so I had to call the internet provider and they had to unlock my account as they saw the wrong MAC trying to connect (they thought someone was hacking my account). After 15 minutes on the phone, finally, the ASUS was on the internet. Now,I could test it!

I live in a large home and received signal everywhere, except one side of my house on the lower floor (about as far from the router as you could get). Also, very weak signal at the front door. The Netgear Nighthawk was able to provide fair coverage to these areas, so I was disappointed my 7-year old Netgear Nighthawk R7000 provided better coverage than this brand-new ASUS RT-AX3000. To correct the coverage issue, I used a WiFi extender in that hallway near the front of the house (D-Link range extender, WiFi 5, nothing fancy). This now provides coverage to the far side of the house, but it was a bit surprising the ASUS didn't provide at least the same amount of coverage. I was expecting more for a brand-new router, as it had been 7 years since the last upgrade.

CLOSING THOUGHTS: If your house is small (perhaps up to 1700 square feet/2-3 bedrooms/1 or 2 stories), this router may be powerful enough for you. Anything larger than that, and you may need to use a WiFi extender to help the router provide WiFi signal everywhere in the house. For larger homes, rather than try a router like this, it would probably be better to consider a Mesh system. I have been reading reviews and will likely try a Mesh system next time.

I like ASUS - good company, great product, fantastic management interface/website to manage the router. Those things are way superior to the Netgear experience (which has less warranty and a terrible web interface, very slow and frustrating to use). So if this router has enough power for your house, I say give it a try.

Replacement of the RT-AC88U which only works 2 years. Lately, always one of stations loose the internet connection, wondering maybe is switch issue (Netgear GS116). After get a new GS116, still got the same issue, then I concluded it is the WiFi RT-AC88U created the Gigabit connection issues, because found out more ststaions loose the internet also. After office, went to Best Buy got a TP-Link AX3000 Wifi Router, came home to install but problem which auto detect WAN IP(Comcast) setup almost 1 hour, still no result, create headache problem, install Router never sucg difficult and joke, I ahve to manual input IP, MAsk IP Subnet IP........, this is a Joke, not use friendly! After use phone 5G login Amazon got this Asus router, RT-AX3000(AX58U) on next day shipping, after work came home, first thing is to install this Asus router(kids are almost lost their mind becuase no internet whole day but 5G phone net work!!!), follow the web installation procedure, Camcast cable inot LAN port, the other side connect to PC desktop, hpp://router.asus.com to setup, install new router, SSID, passwork and AUTO-DETECT IP(wha la! Thanks God!), after key-in all information, disconnect the cable, power off, then settle to the location, Comcast cable from Modem into WAN, then GS116 switch cable intot LAN port, re-boot the Cable Moden(Important), also power-on Router, then it all came back to normal, Excellent and easy to setup, use-friendly!

Works as expected with no issues. Asus quality is top notch so I don't have to worry about anything. The speed and connective are quick and reliable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding user interface and reception. Wish I had scrapped my ComCrud WiFi sooner.
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2024
Added this as an access point to do the WiFi on my network. Left the existing ComCrud WiFi/cable modem unit installed. Moved my SIX ONVIF cameras onto this and now they ALL work great. No more "bad connection" or dropped frames. The user interface is excellent! I can remember back in the 90s taking hours to setup a router using COMMAND LINE arguments. The Asus user interface is a network installer's dream come true. All the reviews that say the WiFi is lousy don't know how to setup WiFi. use a WiFi analyzer program with a WiFi card in your PC; see who else has WiFi in your area. Set your router on a channel that is not busy! Both for 2.4GHz and 5GHz. I found channel 8 on 2.4Ghz and channel 157 on 5GHz have no traffic; except for ME! FYO used a simple LAN cable to go from an unused LAN connection on the cable modem/router connected to the WAN connector on the Asus. Only thing done to Asus is select Access Point and set the WiFi channels, and set LAN to get "LAN IP automatically" and away it goes...
