Review: Awesome with no subscriptions and a three year warranty and WIFI7 ready! - I was looking for a good router with satellites ever since my Netgear Orbi RBK50 bricked itself during an update. Great job, Netgear... NOT! And being out of warranty, they delicately showed me the finger. Well, I decided to return the favor. I digress, but I had bought that Netgear with 2 satellites because it had a dedicated backhaul, 2.4 and 5GHz bands and that it is a reputable brand. What I didn't realize is that they nickel and dimed me for full 3+ years for their Netdefender subscription of almost $100 annually! So on top of paying top dollar ($450+ to be exact), I was paying $100 after the first year. That is an average of about $225+ annual cost. Back to this product, Asus is an equally great brand. I was looking for something that allowed me to create multiple SSIDs. For some reason the general market routers do not allow creation of VLANs (or am not aware of. I am not a Networking certified person), so multiple SSIDs was what I needed. I was looking for an SSID for personal use (PCs, laptops, phones), another SSID for my security devices, another for all my IoTs that I enriched desertcart and Alexa ecosystem with and finally one for my guests that I can turn on and off as needed. Another need was that I could control it from anywhere I wanted, not just logging into the network. The pros of this product: - Three pack, great to spread accessibility - Mesh network, apparently it helps have lossless connectivity and though I have no tool to test, I have not seen any disconnect moving between rooms and such - Wifi 7. I have currently only wifi5 or wifi6 devices, but hey am ready for the next gen. - High speed ethernet ports for backhaul and/or wired networking - Great mobile app on Android - Allowed me the SSIDs I needed to set up - Share WiFi with a QR Code (Great for Guests when your password is super strong as it should be) - Automatic Quality of Service (QoS) control if you designate the device in a QoS priority category. - Auto wireless backhaul with optional wired one if you set it up that way - Small size - NO SUBSCRIPTION BS like Netgear. Comes with great protection and a VPN app for phone. HOW AWESOME IS THAT!? Thank you Asus. - Comes with a Three Year Warranty! You hear that, Netgear? CONS: Yes, it does have some. Ok, I will be honest, no it doesn't but they are my wish list. - Only two ports in the back, so you need a switch no matter what if you have more than two devices to attach or use a backhaul. - The switch has to be 2.5GHz capable to use the best throughput, else a 1GHz will not be bad, just if you are moving things thru the network, you will be bottlenecked by that limitation - Wish there is a way to mount it higher on the wall with power cord extensions. I may have to juggle something on my own. - Wish it had PoE to power and backhaul the extenders. I have that set up but cannot use it because of the power requirement to come from an electrical outlet. Sigh. - Ability to create VLANs. That would be so awesome to set up one SSID instead of 4 with a separate password deciding which one is for what. I had created a setup once with Ubiquiti extenders and they have spoilt me bad.
Review: Don't ignore because of low reviews, especially from people who don't know - Setup may require some patience, research, or knowing what you’re doing. For example, you might need to configure a separate IoT network for older devices or cameras that won’t work well on a Wi-Fi 7 network. I had one unit stop working, and I struggled to reset it. I ended up spending an hour troubleshooting before it worked again. However, no other device in this price range could check all of my boxes. Once I figured everything out, I’m extremely happy with it.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Not a worry free solution when it comes to restarting the main node.
*by M***N on May 18, 2026*

As a router, and Mesh system them are very statisfactory. However they can NOT recover if there is any disconnect with the main controlling node. Not very happy with the 'ease of use' as it seems I always have to restart my entire mode, router, and nodes to get the network backup for some unknown reason.
