ASUSAX3000 WiFi 6 Router (RT-AX57) - Dual Band Gigabit Wireless Internet Router, Gaming & Streaming, AiMesh Compatible, Included Lifetime Internet Security, Parental Control, MU-MIMO, OFDMA

I’m a gamer and remote worker, So I wanted Two things from this router. 1. was to get better Wifi and connection speeds/stability and with updated technology in general which means this thing has newer technology than what was available in my basic router that My ISP provides. 2. I needed options to see security and other features not available to me from my other router. So I got that and then some. With the ability to customize my router settings unlike with my ISP router I was able to setup the newer technology in the Menu. Which is the router settings page. Firefox worked perfectly and connected to the router immediately. The router setup was easy but I was cautious. It prompted to UPDATE FIRMWARE which I and almost everybody recommend just make sure theirs no other programs running on the PC. I used Asus recommendations on their website for best security. I couldnt mess with these settings on my old router because my ISP locked down the page. I would recommend this if you need a more reliable router than your ISP provides. Its much better, trust me. I instantly saw the speed increase and it doesnt buffer at all when watching TV or on PC. Very smooth. So the gaming is far better experience than before. Im getting better latency in games like MW3 which has terrible servers to begin with. Sure you can’t get rid of the packet burst completely because of this. But this helps very much and Im glad I bought this. In the future who knows I might get something better and use this for its mesh capability. So there is that option. But honestly I couldn't ask for much more. Just make sure you research and turn off certain features that you dont need. Asus has recommendations that should help even in the settings page UI. Side note, I love MSI and ASUS boxes their nice quality.

I have had the RT-ax57 for a month now and no problems. The setup was easy, updated are simple and the phone app is superior to TP-Link and Netgear apps. The free security from TrndMicro works well. I am now considering purchasing another unit to extend my network with AI mesh as thus far Asus has been very impressive.

Replaced my tp-link router as soon as I heard about a possible ban on tp-link in the US.I’ve had the router for a couple months now and it’s very reliable. The app makes it easy to manage your home network and perform updates.Really great value.Only thing I had issues with was the initial setup. I had to enable location services for the app for my phone to connect to the router using the app.Also, the instructions only have router set up with a modem. It’s doesn’t have a fiber set up.If your home internet doesn’t use a modem, a coax cable plugging into the network device, but only an Ethernet cable. Then that’s all you need to plug in.

This is a decent router, and very easy to set up and reliable. But for usually about $10 more, the AX5400 really does a much better job. All the features plus a few, and blasts through the walls much better and better coverage. Definitely worth the extra cost. I am upgrading to the AX5400.

I've had the ASUS AX3000 WiFi 6 Router (RT-AX57) for a month now and so I figured that would give me enough time to see just how well the router is holding up.Originally, I was using the router provided by my ISP but at some point it just started periodically going down and would have to restart the router every time this happened.The router is pretty old as well so I was thinking about getting an upgrade(wi-fi 6) from my ISP but after reading some comments on the community page, it seemed you had to have a certain internet speed in order to get the upgrade.There was a recommendation to buy my own router and just put the new router in DMZ mode and so I decided I would go this route with the RT-AX57. Setting the router up was pretty painless with identifying the router on my old router being the most challenging part. Everything connected once I used their wizard and I didn't have to do any additional setup for the second router I've been using as an access point.Since I setup the RT-AX57, I've only once experienced a slight drop in connection and just recently, I had to restart my second router but that has pretty much been the only two noticeable occurrences.Things have been so far so good and I'm glad I went forward with the upgrade as the drops from the ISPs router were getting pretty annoying.

ASUS Warranty Is a Sham – Avoid at All CostsI purchased this ASUS router directly from Amazon and registered it on the ASUS website immediately. When the unit failed under warranty, I contacted ASUS support, and the experience was appalling.First, they accused me of altering the invoice, which is outrageous and completely false. Then they told me the router, despite being authentic and registered, wasn’t covered due to it being a “Canada model.” Their final response? “Contact Amazon and let us know what they say.”Excuse me? ASUS is the manufacturer. The warranty is their responsibility, not Amazon’s.To make matters worse, their support agents couldn’t even read their own instructions, offered contradictory information, and dragged the case on for weeks with zero accountability. My previous ASUS product still shows as under warranty in their system, so they clearly have my registration history—they just chose to ignore it.I will never buy an ASUS product again, and I strongly advise others to stay away if you expect any kind of reliable support or warranty protection.

Best in class Wifi 6 router, I've had another Asus router I bought in 2018 and gave that one to my parents. Pairs great with my Surfboard SB6121 and delivers excellent speed for the money. Range is great too, and covers a 1000sqft condo. The router is always connected to 20+ devices in my home and performs flawlessly.
