95% found it easy to set up and configure

Setting up the router was easy and quick with the included setup procedures.
Setting up the router is hassle-free and easy. If I have a previous ASUS router, I can save the config file and load it into this router, and all my connected devices will be up and running.

93% appreciated the strong and reliable signal
The coverage of this router is strong and complete throughout my 2250 sq foot, 3 floor residence.
I find the range of the wireless-router to be very good.
The range of both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz covers my entire 2 level 2K sq. ft. home with thick plaster and some concrete walling.
93% praised for its lightning-fast speeds
Over WiFi, I can achieve speeds in the several hundred megabit range.
At farther ranges, my notebook computer has substantially increased signal strength and data throughput speed. I compared wired and wireless performance using Speedtest.net and found practically no detectable difference.
I compared the NAS performance of my old ASUS RT-68P with my new RT-AX86U. With the old router, the CPU would max out at 100% while only getting 25MBPs (200Mbps) file transfers. But with the new router, the quad-core 1.8 Ghz CPU showed 50% on 2 cores at the most and was getting 110MBps (880Mbps) fie transfers.
I compared this router with my old one and found it to have better range, a better GUI, quicker Netflix 4k Dolby Vision stream start up, and snappier NEST doorbell app video performance.
