I purchased this router in August of 2015. I am using the stock firmware (updated). Since purchasing it, I've had very few issues (which I'll go over later). Setup was quick and easy. I literally plugged my cable modem in, along with the machines I wanted wired into the network and it worked. Very little setup was involved.For the wired network, I have 2 PCs wired in, a Xbox One, and a Playstation 4. Connecting wirelessly, I have multiple cell phones, a tablet, a smart thermostat (Ecobee3), a laptop, a PS3, a wireless printer, and an Xbox 360. At no point have I had network disconnects occur d

I have upgraded my home router for the past 5 years. I started with a Cisco N router when I finally was able to get internet out here in the boonies. It did fine while I had it but I decided to try the new Linksys AC routers that were out at the time. The Genie app was cool... looked and worked better on Android than it did on my apple device.But the Linksys router never seemed to work as flawlessly as this ASUS router has. As soon as I received it and pulled it out of the box I installed it. And within 10 minutes I was back online and the speeds were incredible. I would sit at my desk and con

I bought this three months ago; wish I had found it years earlier:I have a serious 16yo geek / gamer whom, if allowed, would FIND a way to stay up all night and play games and do who knows what else.This router has solved a significant issues we face as parents with the Parental Controls issues:First, I debated for a while to give it five or four stars --there are a couple of things I do not like. However, overall it has been great. My biggest problem was my kids, and their abuse of the Internet at night, too long gaming, etc. I did try other expensive routers and returned them. This one does

Just the second day with this router. Set up would have been a snap if my computer didn't freeze on me, making me do the setup over again. I have no idea why my Asus ROG laptop did that, but with my older asus router my laptop almost crashed from trying to update it also.Back to the router:The 5GHz band is noticeably faster than my older dual band asus rt-n65r, which i had it for a few years. Tested it two rooms or two walls away about 40ft from the router, with a tv playing hulu plus while playing hd youtube videos on a ipad and iphone. Did great. No lagging, no buffering. Could have taken mo

I replaced an RT-AC66U that we moved to use as an access point to have AC coverage everywhere. I like the RT-AC68U as far as the wire port configuration better than the 66U. On the 66U if you use the stand, the wire ports are facing up, with the 68U, the unit is vertical and the ports exit the rear of the unit, making a cleaner install. The menu is the same and I just copied my customized settings to not have to "re-invent" the wheel as far as port forwarding and such. My only issue is that with the EXACT settings as my 66U somehow - someway my DVR is visible from the internet and via my phone

Just got my Asus router (rt-68u), and couldn’t be more pleased. This is the most expensive router I’ve purchased, and I’m moving on from a misbehaving D-Link DIR-860L which, to it’s credit, lasted for a few years. In my search for a replacement, I almost went for the Linksys WRT-1900 series, but the more reviews I read, the worse it seemed to get, and that’s not to mention the fact that you can get stuck with a rev. 1 unit with a fan inside. No, sorry, absolutely no fans please. The Asus has a dual core processor but it does not seem to be running hot, and there is no fan. Anyway the Asus look

The Asus RT-AC68U is a huge improvement over my old Netgear N600 router and over either of the Arris Modem/Routers that TWC provided me when I upgraded my Internet service their 200Mbs Internet package. In terms of specifics:1) I have verified that my connection exceeds 200Mbs on a consistent basis when testing on a wired connection. I replaced my old cable modem and the Arris Modem/router with a Surfboard SB-6183. I tested the wired connection both directly connected to the Surfboard and via the RT-AC68U. The only difference was a little bit of latency that showed up on the ping tests. The Ne

(Update 11/15/2015) I installed the latest Asus firmware from earlier in November. That, by itself, pretty much killed off whatever functionality this router had so DO NOT INSTALL THIS UPDATE. Now I have laptops not even able to get a wireless signal, or far reduced, and none of the other problems I have had with this router have improved. In fact, I signed onto its admin interface (via wired connection) after the update, and even though the traffic monitor showed barely any traffic (in the KB/sec) page loads dragged... on... for... seconds... I have five computers and switched three of them t
