Review: A good slid router - so far. - Replaced an RT-3200 AC router which although was unsupported now - still worked well. Waited a couple of weeks before review as wanted a balanced study. Connected to a ONT provided by ISP and added to existing AiMesh. This router is a chunky router which has been working fine since installation. Pros: Easy to setup - has a wizard. Links to existing AiMesh system - but will suggest a drop in WPA level as if like me (you have a WPA2) it will have to drop for compatibility. Uses the same ASUS App (on mobile devices) to manage as previous ASUS router. Web interface is best and has more options available. Plenty of VPN options - OpenVPN, Wireshark etc. Also has propriety VPN called "Instant guard" but haven't had time to test as yet. Has VLAN options inbuilt for iOT isolation etc. Plenty to play with. Wifi range is pretty good, not massively better than previous but does seem to have more wifi options. Cons: Can still disconnect all clients when making some (non client related) changes - which is annoying but has occurred on all ASUS routers to date. One desertcart Kindle (2.4ghz) had issues connecting when AX was enabled on this router, unsure why but AX was disabled - as not currently using the 160hz stuff just yet anyway. I hoping a Firmware will fix this. Conclusion: A solid router (tested for over two weeks now) which is very similar to my old one however has a lot more grunt (4 core etc.) which has plenty of scope for network growth.
Review: Excellent Router So Far! - The router replaced my ISP router. And it is significantly better. It really easy to setup. Coverage is better, and consistently delivers 99% of my expected internet download and upload bandwidth/speed (max. utilisation). ASUS Merlin firmware is great. UI is simple to use. The intermediate to advanced level network configurability options are great! You can easily harden the router thanks to AiProtection. This is an excellent router.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will i need to re-setup all my smart devices or can I setup the ssid and password the same as what i had before**
A: It depends very much on your existing routers settings and security features. You can easily substitute your existing SSID and password, you would however need to make sure your authentication method (i.e. WEP2) matches the setting on the new router. Best thing to do would be to take screenshots of all the settings pages of your routers control panel and manually copy them across to the new one. If setup correctly, you should be able to swap out your router without having to reconnect devices.

However, this router does support guest networking for smart devices which I would recommend using for security reasons if you do have the time to change them over at a later stage

**Q: If i set by virgin media hub 3.0 to modem only and connect this router to it, can i set the router to change my dns settings to 1.1.1.1 & 8.8.8.8?**
A: Yes but DNS has not effect on WiFi strength, DNS is the internet phone book.

**Q: Anyone used the ax86 as a main router and using older ac as mesh with rmerlin firmware? how does it run. thank you**
A: Yeah I have been running that exact setup for a while now, been great, although I do recommend connecting the two via a ethernet cable, at least a cat 5e. I ran it while paired by wireless connection and then cabled. Cabled is noticeably better.

**Q: Has anyone tried this with BT Fibre 900 and had any issues with setup or performance?**
A: Hi, I'm using it on BT fibre 150, no issues what so ever, much better than the BT's own router. I can't see why it will not work with BT 900, it's well capable of handling that.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant for AI Mesh, not as great for wifi range as expected.
*by R***B on 9 February 2025*

Excellent performance. Purchased as a replacement for my older AC68U. Was hoping the wifi range on both 2.4 and 5, but at least 2.4 would be significantly increased to cover the whole house. I have to position the router behind a tv in a far corner of a 1930s semi detached house with an extension. Alas the range did not improve enough for what i wanted. If this router was positioned right in the middle of the property, then I suspect it would probably work. Anyway, I then added the AC68U as a mesh node and positioned it almost the other side of the property (thinking the signal wouldnt be strong enough). How wrong I was. However these routers connect for AI Mesh is tremendous. Now have really strong signal all throughout the house and gardens on 5Ghz.
