Buggy and temperamental router

I'm a big fan of Asus products. I had an idea to buy the biggest and worst router they make for my high traffic home. I was very wrong. Router firmware (updated or not) is very bizarre. If you get really lucky and factory reset/add your SSID and password, it will work for a short time. I had another Asus router (ac3100) as a node in AI mesh mode and it worked for about 4-5 days, then suddenly all my connected devices were connected and the 2.4Ghz SSID disappeared. I called tech support (asus) and we retroactively flashed the firmware and it worked for about an hour. Call back, Asus told me it must be firmware. Anyway, this router is an incredible concept but poorly executed. You can see this router is well made. Looks like Asus didn't do any beta testing before launch. It's a shame because it's a great idea. I hope they clear this up. If you read the other comments you'll see that I'm not the only one complaining about this issue.

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Useless features
