    Customers are mixed about the value of the networking router. Some mention that the connection of this item is well worth the price, while others say that it's not worth it. The price hurt a bit at first, but now I am sold and would recommend to anyone who needs a high-end, ultra performance router. The Ethernet ports this thing is practically useless, and the configuration is slow and sucks. That said, some are not happy with their performance and are going back to the RT-AC5300.

    Customers are mixed about the connectivity of the router. Some mention they now have zero dropped connections, seamless connectivity, and never lost connectivity to the Internet or router. However, others say that the WAN hardwired port was dead, all Ethernet ports failed at the same time, and the main WiFi stopped working. Some devices will stop communicating with it completely. The USB 3.0 port doesn't work with a LaCie hard drive with eSata to USB 3.

    "...It can be set up as three independent networks or you can "automatically combine" either all three or just the 5GHz channels...." Read more

    "...tried all sorts of different things until I realized the WAN hardwired port was dead. Also all the ethernet ports on the LAN side were dead as well...." Read more

    "...No problems interfacing with a small 1Gbps switch or covering my entire home completely--even on the 5GHz band, something that required an Access..." Read more

    "...wire stayed connected and running all the time and never lost connectivity to Internet or router...." Read more

    Expensive, but great.
    5 Stars
    Expensive, but great.
    Amazing router, even though it's expensive. I replaced my RTN66U "Dark Knight" router with a Netgear nighthawk, and was thoroughly unimpressed. It had broadcast issues, and performed poorly on NetSpot testing in a relatively small home.THIS router has two 5Ghz bands, so the coverage issue I experienced with the Netgear were immediately solved. The 5Ghz coverage is as good as the 2.4Ghz band because of this. Now, I can attach more devices to the 5Ghz band, and free up bandwidth on the 2.4 band.I prefer the Asus UI to Netgear's. It has a more intuitive look and feel to me, and it seems more powerful as well for the users who are more experienced and knowledgeable in setting up home networking.I've attached wireless speedtests from my router through google fiber. Tests were done about 15 feet from the router.********4 month update********Added a photo from pulling a file from my NAS to my laptop. Speeds average 7MB/s when reading. NAS is connected via powerline ethernet adaptors, computer was wireless.For anyone complaining that this router can't handle gigabit speeds, see my "connected" speedtest. This was done connected to the router via cat5 ethernet cable into my Dell XPS 13 with a USB3.0 ethernet adapter. Note that in the screenshot I included the systray to show the laptop being in airplane mode. I have Google Fiber, and the reason the download isn't FASTER, is because I also have their TV service. The TV leeches bandwidth from your connection, to the tune of about 250-300Mbps because of the lower compression google uses to deliver higher quality television broadcasts. However as you can see on the upload portion, it handled gigabit speeds easily.I also do a TON of media streaming in my home. This is primarily why I bought this router. I have tried and succeeded streaming up to three 1080p movies from my Synology NAS to my Roku 3, Roku 2, and PS3 which are all connected wirelessly.It's my opinion that anyone complaining this doesn't do gigabit speeds needs to check their own hardware/connection out, and not blame this router as it CLEARLY will do all it says it will.-----edit 2/11/2017--------Added a screenshot of iPerf results. The first set is of 1 laptop to another with one on the 2.4ghz band, the server on the 5ghz band. The second is both laptops on the 5ghz band. I didn't shut anything down on my network to perform these tests, and both "server" and client were wireless.
