🎮 ASUS ROG Rapture WiFi Gaming Router (GT-AC5300): Tri Band Gigabit Wireless, Quad-Core CPU, WTFast Game Accelerator & Lifetime Internet Security Review

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)…

I underestimated the impact of the router's CPU and RAM performance on achieving full gigabit internet speed. I had a Nighthawk X6 AC3200 (R8000) router that lasted 6 years. It was good for downloads and uploads at 700-800Mbps, although it often dropped Wi-Fi when switching devices between 5GHz channels. In addition, the cat's short antennas and top-mounted buttons allowed it to frequently turn off Wi-Fi and disable smart home functions. When he died suddenly I went on a trip and had to find…

I would like to start by saying that I am a software engineer who has worked for Revain Web Services and is currently working for another cloud company. I have extensive technical knowledge and pity the average user who no doubt had an amazing nightmare buying that piece of crap, a router. I bought this router as part of a series of network upgrades I was doing at home. As I play a lot I thought the fact that it was game focused would be a great addition. I couldn't be more wrong. Enabling…

I rarely write reviews. but it is more of a WARNING or a buyer warning. Bottom line, the router worked flawlessly for 11 months, and then there were a lot of issues, which may or may not be related to the December 2018 firmware update. + drop in WLAN performance 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz; + Randomly turned on and off 2.4GHz WiFi band. + Most 2.4GHz devices (about 15) disconnected and some could never reconnect. + Cat5 ethernet ports started to fail (at least 2). + DHCP was unreliable and/or failed…

I bought this router because generally the more you spend the better product and this was basically advertised as the best of the best. That is not right. I've had the router less than a day and found that it doesn't broadcast any of the 5GHz channels. I tried every possible fix I knew of and nothing worked. So I called ASUS tech support and they told me all the troubleshooting steps I did and then they said the router is broken so I need to replace it. So I sent it back and ordered a…

Before I begin, Wi-Fi performance may vary depending on the wall material of your home and the level of interference. I've read some great reviews and some good reviews about the GT-AC5300. Some reviews say it's too much money and others say it's great in every way. After all, the only way to find out what you like is to BUY it and TRY it for a few days. I chose the GT-AC5300 for several good reasons; the hardware specs, the tools and the amazing web interface that I liked the most. First I'll…
