ASUS AC1900 DSL-AC68U (page 2 of 2)

Eventually this Modem started having issues but got a refund after sending back under warranty. The tools you have access to are very handy for monitoring traffic. Setting up for NBN was a pain like many people experienced with poor documentation, even after it was set up I could never get it faster than the standard modem Telstra provided with me.

This router is definitely a go to if you are switching to NB. I can't fault this router for its speeds. Even when multiple people are streaming or downloading at the same time my gaming does not drop in speed. Also, I have added an external drive with movies and tv shows to watch wirelessly around the house.

Great modem router... great functionality especially the VPN client function allowing me to securely browse the internet on all my devices without having to connect each device to the VPN manually. All devices connected to the 5GHZ network are very fast allowing me to transfer large files wireless to my NAS quite quickly also. Great product.

The router is fast. In the same room, I get 70MBps (that's a capital B) transfer speeds from my NAS PC to the desktop PC on 5GHz 802.11ac. The NAS is connected to the router via Ethernet. With the same setup, but with the router and the NAS PC in the garage, I get 40MBps+ which is darn good considering I hardly get any 4G connectivity through the walls of the house.

DSL performance is good, but not as good as the Sagemcom F@st 4315 which I received from the service provider when I had ADSL. But it is not something you notice while using the ...

My husband bought this item after heaps of research on how to best manage all of the wifi devices on our home network. It works so well in managing all the kids and has built in time management so they only get internet after homework has been done. Also we have found that if one kid misbehaves we can turn off the internet to that one device. Brilliant.

Bought one of these about two years ago and for the most part it's been good but there have been times when it's lost all connection to my previous connection (ADSL2+) which required a reset to correct. There have been a few bugs over that time but to be fair ASUS do put put out firmware updates quite regularly.
The best thing is this modem/router has had a renaissance in my network as my NBN HFC router and with the latest firmware it really flies (95mbps down and nearly 40 up). Obviously it's now connected to the HFC modem so it's more akin to the router RT-AC86U, but if you want a great NBN HFC router that has ADSLx as fallover then you could do much worse than this model.

Prior to this modem I had a dlink which was ok but had dropouts every now and then and range wasn't fantastic.
After reading a few reviews i decided to bite the bullet and buy this one.
Well, what a great move it was . Range was fantastic, no dropouts to mention and dual band.
What i really like is they still release new firmware! Keeping older technology new as it's a great unit.

The only negative for me is no dedicated WAN port (i have to change on of the lan ports) and lack of support for HFC NBN from my understanding. I personally can't find the info to be able to use it as an HFC NBN router.

Apart from that, no other concern and has served me well while i had ADSL2+

This is a great mid range router which was easy to set up and has good range with decent speed through put through it's three external antennas, a good choice if you have to rely on the NBN FTTN technology as it will give you the maximum possible speed via wireless conection, very happy

I bought this router from shopping express and so far the impression is good. I only bought it because of the discount as the price is bit on higher side. The greatest feature of this router is that it has great range. 30m is easily covered. The speed is nice and it has great other features as well. It works with both NBN and ADSL.

First time using a ASUS modem, and I'm very happy. It's interface is probably one of the easiest to use in order to setup for a ADSL network. I was surprised when it's finished and already connected.

The range is also very good. Got it for my in-laws so a big tick there for myself. Not cheap, and consider it's first released in 2014, it is definitely due for an update. But there is very good reason why it can still ask for a $$$ tag close to $300 because it is just so good.

One of the typical - set it up and forget about it - gadget.

It is one of the best routers out there; packed with features such as QoS and regular security updates. Have had absolutely no issues handling large number of simultaneous connections or experienced any drop outs relating to the router itself. It can support both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz at the same time so you can get the best of both worlds in terms of speed and compatibility with newer and older devices.

Good wifi, was extremely good on ADSL, great features, what lets this unit down is MEDIATEK chip set that constantly keeps trowing the port at the NBN exchange out, and then unable to reconnect, each time had to get NBN technician out just to be told not to use that modem as its not really NBN compatible and keeps throwing the port out. Last time it happened NBN technician said the modem is kaput to get the new one as this one each time he tried to connect it kept throwin the port out at the exchange. Contacted ASUS, RMA it to Asus Sydney on t...

This unit has lots of great features. But what seems like a good thing is actually a warning- there are frequent updates. Basically the updates are forever fixing issues. I've stopped updating now as the unit is relatively stable. But every three months it starts to drop connections and I have to factory reset the unit and setup from scratch. Its not just this unit as its been replaced once This is why it gets 3 stars.
Also if you are too far away from your node for NBN or your telephone exchange for ADSL this is not the modem for you. The me...

The ASUS DSL-AC68U would have to still be one of the best modem/routers out there. I have tried the telstra, iprimus branded modem, netgear and others and this has got the best wifi range of any of them. Considering this came out in 2013 Asus still support it and do firmware upgrades and the modem has a built in fault forwarding program direct to Asus who reply within a day or 2. You can monitor all the equipment accessing your network and give priority to some equipment over other equipment. It has everything all the latest model units have an...

I gave this unit another try as I liked the features and needed the time sharing to limit the kids.
I finally got one that worked as it should and now have no problems running the time sharing features.
It works well through iPhone and iPad app.there are later firmware updates for the unit, but as it works, I'm leaving it well alone!

I bought this to replace our old Draytek modem router and D- Link DI-524 wireless hub that I run with a on off timer. That setup was good as the timer turned the D-Link router off, limiting the kids Internet a...
