Easy Set up

published

It's easy to set up and isn't giving problems as of now. Works fine. Just a small thing but it's ok - It's a bit bulky
Go for it. Good quality product.

Won't work with TPG HFC

published

While it's a good value for money, it's worth noting that it won't work with TPG NBN HFC, due to the fact that TPG uses VLAN. I used it and it never connected and ended up having to refund it.

It works in access point mode, and strength seems pretty good. It might work with other company.



Purchased in July 2022 at eBay for $140.

Fantastic router - excellent value, great Wifi performance

published

I used to be a fan of Netgear equipment, then when all the rage was going on with Asus routers I thought I would give one a try. I bought the AC58U off ebay, used and for $70 I have fantastic performance at home. The admin console is amazing, the performance is blistering and the fact that I can set a restart schedule weekly really gives me peace of mind. Highly recommended if your after a high performance but also budget conscious router

Excellent Dual Band WiFi Router

published

I chose this router because it had a balance of features and price. So far, I was using greatly the USB 3.0 port in order to create a network share on our home. Other routers during the time of purchase were mostly only offering USB 2.0 and this means slower transfer rate across the files. Because of this, I didn't have to purchase a separate NAS server. So far, I didn't have any major signal or crash issues with the router. I was able to setup the router with the help of their interface. So far support was good and I just upgraded my firmware last week.

So far, so good.

published

Having used this router for a little over a month, I am quite impressed. Setup was simple and the router's interface on my iMac and iPhone was much more detailed than Netgear's Genie. I used this one for my ATEM setup as well and still working good. The product is nice, but ASUS is terrible when it comes to support. I got an bad experience once I used USB wifi adapter ASUS USB-AC56. But this one I got is very cheap compare to another brands I have found in similar specs. I wish not to speak to them again.

Great Modem with good reception distance

published

Our son set us up with this modem & it is connected to our NAS Server. We live in a big 5 bedroom house & the reception extends to all rooms without the need of another unit elsewhere.
