ASUS ExpertWiFi EBG15 Gigabit VPN Wired Router, up to 3 WAN ethernet Ports + 1 USB WAN, IPS Intrusion Prevention, Layer 7 Firewall, Commercial-Grade Network Security, Remote Management with App

I am not an IT pro or networking expert. I just needed an easy-to-install wired router for my small home office, which has one or two PCs running at a time. This router fits the bill perfectly. This is a big deal because there seem to be very few routers that meet these simple criteria (wired and easy to install). In fact, as of this writing in September 2024, this is the only one I could find. It seems the tech industry has decided everyone using the internet at home wants wifi. And anyone who doesn't want wifi must be a networking expert. What they are missing is that there are some importan

Works great! At a price point right around $80 (when I bought it), you get the functionality/flexibility typically only found in much more expensive routers. This is a WIRED router, so don't purchase it if you are looking for a router that has built-in wifi. I use this as the backbone for home network and all of my ethernet-connected Asus mesh wifi-routers... it has been working flawlessly for 6+ months now. Regarding setup, depending on your needs and network requirements, you might have to do some additional research because user-interface is not always easy to understand. If you don't need

I bought three of this to try out in my Lab. I configured it for WAN and tethering, NOT the touted AiMesh. However, on the browser web interface, it still shows "AiMesh" on the toolbar! Configuration/setup is confusing.Note: All of these are in my IT Lab.On the dashboard, only the primary WAN is showing. I connected my Android phone to the USB port and the router is connected to the Internet. The mobile phone connection does not show on the dashboard. I only know it is connected because the DNS BENCHMARK on the dashboard shows there is DNS connectivity to Google, Cloudflare, etc.. With only th

Okay let’s first start off that most of the people that left negative reviews on this Wired VPN Router probably have zero experience or the knowledge of setting up a Gateway (aka router) the G.U.I is fairly easy to navigate when you log into the router using your web browser interface, the Asus expert app is so …..so….so… slow to log into since it’s using the built in Bluetooth network card inside the EGB15 (FYI this router has zero wi fi capabilities on its own), you can use several VPN protocols with this router to include the OPENVPN, WIREGUARD, etc (this is a 7layer firewall router). One t

I was looking for a wired only ethernet router replace my aging Netgear WiFi router which is no longer getting security updates through new firmware updates. The "ASUS ExpertWiFi EBG15 Gigabit VPN Wired Router" fits the role nicely.My current home network setup consists of an old Netgear WiFi router with WiFi turned off and a Deco WiFi Mesh setup in the AP mode. Netgear informed me that I should replace my current Netgear router as it is out of service.The web interface of the ASUS EBG15 is pretty clear but the device is not exactly "plug and play". Once it is plugged in , it created a new 192

I bought this device to add a USB tethered device as a backup WAN after my Fiber ISP had some extended outages.The multi-WAN worked fine, but my network became so unreliable I had to return it. I used this router's DHCP server, and devices connected by ethernet would drop connection and become unreachable. I confirmed the latest firmware was installed, and only connected devices to the LAN ports and avoided the LAN/WAN ports. My network was completely reliable before I tried the router, and works flawlessly since I removed it.

For less than $100, this is a subscription free home security device. Ignore the other reviews that look for "enterprise" level features in a $100 device without paying "enterprise" level price! For home usage, this is fantastic value. The device itself is very sturdy, well built. I wish it used USBC for power to be consistent with other things at my household but it is what is. In terms of features, quality, it far exceeded my expectations really. You can group home devices (kids tablets for example) and attach family profile (non adult web), you can setup time limits, block content and enabl

This router is great. It supports multi WAN failover and Link Aggregation Control Protocol-incredible. But do not use the phone app- it is a waste and locks down all the important controls- making the best and only way to interfece the advanced features the local web interfaces via IP or the startup page. There are many features worth the headache of resetting and deleting the Android app and starting form scratch. The one standout feature is the VPN-Wireguard VPN no less-support. It also support all the other VPN protocols you expect as well. You also get what seems to be a decent IPS (Intrus
