I purchased this router some 1 year back and have used all of its in built features by now. I must say that it is a GREAT router. In my setup, I have it on a 16 mbps DSL line . There is a DSL TP-Link modem behind it and ahead of it is a gigabit cabled network. There are five cabled devices connected at all times and additionally eight-nine wireless devices. Wired devices include two 4K TV sets and a desktop computer that serves media to the home. Simultaneous 4K streaming works great on the network.This is a Dual-Core router with Asus-WRT. The rich router configuration panel allow for excellent control. There is an an Android App which allows you to quickly view and change settings. It has a in-built Antivirus as well. You can graphically see which household member's device is consuming most of your bandwidth!The data-transfer between wireless-and wired devices is very fast as well. Connect a pen drive and it can doiwnload torrents onto it. Media on the pen-drive can be shared across devices. One point to note, in case you wish to use AiCloud functionality, over internet, the router must have its external IP directly exposed to the internet. In other words, the DSL modem has to be in bridge mode. I tried that for a few weeks and it worked beautifully but then I reverted for security and privacy reasons.This router does have connection teaming with load balancing and failover modes but I faced many issues with that feature especially if one network goes down. So a dedicated load balance router has now been placed behind it to handle those duties.The Wifi-AC network connectivity as expected has decent coverage and AC speeds are seen only if sitting in same or adjacent room. Any further and it reverts to wifi-N. In an ideal world, I would have purchased a router that gives me Wifi-AC connection all over my house but sadly such a router does not yet exist !It is a beast but will be an overkill for most households.

It was working fine for about a year and it stopped suddenly. Gave the product for service to Rashi Peripherals in Chennai, their service / support partner and after 13 days, still have not received any concrete response on when I will get a replacement product or a refund. They don't have stock of the product and this is under warranty till 2020. Asus support line gives no commitment even by when they will revert back for an escalation to their HQ. Stay clear of Asus products.

I've only had it for a week but has been excellent so far. Simple to set up, easy firmware upgrade, lovely mobile app. Previously our connection had been up and down with a really good brand router unsure if it was the broadband connection itself or the router. Not a single issue over the past weekThe range is nothing special - more or less at par with my previous routers. Don't expect any better range and you'll be happy with the router
