What an awesome powerhouse, Asus did it again with this Router ... I am extremely satisfied with this product, lightning fast on both WiFi and Ethernet to start with, easy to setup out of the box and with room to tweak it up some more, you can install some special scripts if you really want to. I mainly like the AI free protection that comes with it as an added layer of security, the VPN features and much more but the real reason I decided to go for this router is because it is not Chinese made which in terms of cyber security means a lot, this device is directly connected to my ISP by Fiber Internet, it replaced the ISP router and it is the main gate to my home network so I will not risk it with any product.So I would highly recommend this wonderful product to anyone who is security councious and is looking to secure his precious home network. As usual do some research before buying and go through all the features to make sure it covers your needs. I would also strongly recommend to have a dedicated fanless firewall in your network to complete your network security.

I bought the ASUS RT-AX82U V2 (AX5400) to replace an older D-Link EXO AC2600 MU-MIMO.My Wifi signal wasn't great where the router is located at the front door but has to travel up 2 floors to a converted attic, but now I'm getting good coverage and speed.Good points- good coverage ( 3 storey house)- good speed- Android app is fairly decent (but doesn't work when I had NordVPN enabled on the mobile - I probably need to whitelist the app to use split tunneling)- no problem setting static ip addresses for selected devices- no problem setting up a DDNS pointing to NoIP server- no problem setting up port forwarding- I was able to completely replace a vodafone supplied router (fibre to the house), so no need to resort using the vodafone router as a modem in bridge mode. However configuring that was nasty in the web user interface, requiring enabling "dual wan" just to set the VLAN ID to 10.- the front LEDs look cool but can be disabled- there's apparently "Merlin firmware" you can install and is completely replaceable with the stock Asus firmware and you can swap them interchangeably without invalidating your warrantee- interestingly the router flagged that my wired ethernet connection to a powerline adapter wasn't great and recommended to replace it with CAT5 cable. Not sure whether it decided this by speed or error retransmission.Bad points- depends on your point of view. Some of the security features will require you sending your data to Trend Micro (AI security protection etc) but you must explicitly agree to the terms before it would do this and you can avoid it.
