📶 ASUS AC1750 WiFi Router (RT-ACRH18): Dual Band Wireless Internet Router with Easy Setup, Parental Control, USB 3.0, AiRadar Beamforming Technology, MU-MIMO - Enhanced Speed, Stability, and Coverage Review

Bought this router to replace an old Linksys 100MB router that was no longer receiving firmware updates; I thought it might be a security hole. I had another ASUS 1GB router that I was happy with, so I bought this AC-1700 to replace the Linksys. When I installed this router and connected it to my personal wired router, it didn't get an IP address via DHCP. After a few tries I decided it was bad and asked for a replacement. Got a replacement, same problem. I took my old ASUS and used it and it…

Strong signal strength throughout the home, WiFi download speed increased from 56,000 to 120+ MB in most locations. I haven't tested it outside or at the HOA pool, but when you're at the pool, what are you doing online, right? Once I figured out what the default IP was from the command line, the browser-based setup was a breeze. I used the same SSIDs and passwords as on my previous router, so no device was disconnected and left alone. It's a bit strange that every setting change requires a…

In my experience most consumer Wi-Fi routers have software issues. They usually start and work fine for a period of time, after which the problems start. My last round of router upgrades came about because the Netgear Nighthawk router suddenly started dropping all 2.4GHz connections in the house (all Google hubs, printers, etc.). The ONLY way to reconnect them is to reboot the router, even if the SSID is still broadcasting. At first it happened once a week or so, then it became a daily problem.

It's hard to judge, is there a guide I could understand in my younger years? But it's mostly over my head. When you enter the router it is overwhelming, just admit it to everyone, too many for options! And it's everywhere, on every page of seemingly endless pages of options. I miss my Linksys, it really made sense! I'm not saying there's anything bad or wrong with this router as it seems to be doing its job very well, just want to say that it's so complex and lacks the streamlined architecture…

***UPDATE # - August 2019 - So I'm not sure when or how, but issues with random discounts on Android phones have gotten much better now. That almost never happens again. The router hasn't updated the firmware since April, so the likely reason for the improvement must be the phones themselves (the same phones connect daily) or removing some external interference. Anyway, it's nice to have stable and reliable WiFi on my phone again! *** UPDATE 2 - April 2019 So, right after I added the update…

I bought this product for a number of reasons. 1. I needed stronger Wi-Fi than my ATT cable modem can provide; 2. I need a uPnP router; 3. I need parental controls. RT-ACRH17 has done everything but.a. Some of the reviews are correct; Even with the latest firmware, changing the most basic things will drop the internet connection and crash games, something 4 people in this house do all the time at the same time. For example, if you simply manually assign an IP address to one that is already…
