Review on 🔒 ASUS RT-AC87U AC2400 Dual Band Gigabit WiFi Router with Aiprotection Lifetime Security powered by Trend Micro, Adaptive Qos, and Parental Control by Mark Estrada

I originally bought this because my previous Netgear router had problems with the number of wireless devices in my house (X-Box 360, PS4, 3 iPads , iPhone, iPod, 3-5 laptops, 2 wireless TiVos and Kindle). Connections kept dropping, especially with PS4. It also prevented the X-Box 360 from even connecting to it after a firmware update, which I tried when trying to get port forwarding for the game server to work. I solved part of this problem by making a wired connection to the entertainment center. with a 360, a PS4 and one of the TiVos (although the 360 still doesn't work with a Netgear router, even with a direct line. But I still had disconnects. So I bought an ASUS RT-AC87U Wireless-AC2400 dual-band gigabit). The router thought it should be able to handle everything with ease. Speed was good (although I didn't analyze it closely) and 360 was working again and I had no disconnects (I also added a desktop PC with a USB device for wifi. It worked great for almost two months (with a few issues , which I will mention below) then I had the same wifi cuts and signal drop outs as the cheaper routers I've replaced can see but I can't connect anymore.. I've never had a router that was like this it crashed many times i had the latest firmware, i tried changing its position, aiming the antennas and rebooting, turning off the protection and etc. the only thing that helped was a factory reset As for other annoyances: - the print server works hardly This is the first router I could just plug a printer into ep and use it This prompted me to download a program to start it dan n I was able to find the printer, but then it disappeared or stopped working. I had to look up how to add the LTPR virtual port and set up a TCP/IP printer myself. The links to them that ASUS provides in their router software lead to non-working pages with no content. Also, their router page is a web link instead of a regular local address, which is unusual. There's also no mobile app to control the router, you have to use a web link, which isn't the best option but doable if you have an iPad. In short: works great when it works, but way more overhead than I'd like.
