Where to begin...? This has changed everything for me. My hub 4.0 is running on a 1 gig package from Virgin Media. I was utterly shocked that it could not even transmit half of that via wireless signal. It reached 940 via ethernet however. I had 3 VM technicians out who all told me an average of 300 wirelessly was acceptable. I was gutted. I did plenty of research and now understand that the hub 4 uses WIFI 5 which limits its ability to transmit. I knew this had to be put in modem mode and a proper router (WIFI6) needed to be purchased to transmit such high speeds. That is what I did. I bought this router as it was not only reasonably priced, it offered great specs and was listed as a gaming router so I had an inclination that it would be required to preform well. After getting my router really quickly, the unboxing experience did not let me down one bit. I felt like a kid again. Gigantic box with cool militaryesque font. I wasted no time in ripping open the box faster than a 8-legged horse. The inside was fab. I loved that they gave such simple instructions on a small sheet with different options to get the router installed. They sent me a link to get a guarantee registered which I must do. The router itself is glorious. It looks like something that takes part in Robot Wars with its sleek profile and sharply styled leading edges. I spent so much time turning it over and around admiring and complementing it's design. Once I took the router out, my cat made use of the box. For some reason he loves boxes and this was certainly up his street (paws up Asus - from my cat). I set up the router after putting the dreadful hub into modem mode. When I initially launched the router, I found my speeds shockingly low. Why? Because I had not configured it properly. Here is how I configured my router to give me optimum speeds baring in mind I am using WIFI 5 devices so cannot truly unlock the potential. I knew that my laptop being WIFI5 could get around 800mbps on my network adapter so I figured that would be my benchmark for brilliance. My settings were adapted under the wireless section of the router's backend which is found at router.asus.com. I initialised two separate SSIDs for 2.4ghz and 5ghz (you will be asked at the start so don't worry). I did this because I wanted to keep the 5ghz (the faster connection) obvious and so I could manipulate just that. In the wireless tab on the left of router's backend portal I did the following: - Select 5ghz to modify the 5ghz band - Changed Wireless Mode: to N/AC/AX mixed (I did this because none of my devices will run on AX. If you have any non WIFI 6 devices, you must use my setting. Otherwise if you select AX it will disconnect devices that don't handle WIFI 6. If you do have WIFI6 devices then amazing. You can put AX only. You will literally unleash the maximum speed). - WIFI Agile Multiband: Disabled (multiband enabled will slow you down) - Target Wake Time: Disabled - Channel Bandwidth: Enable 160 MHZ then from the dropdown select 160 MHZ (this will give you the best of the best speed) - Control Channel: AUTO - Protected Management Frames: Disable (if you enable this, it will slow you down) The rest should be left as is. Please do experiment to find what is best for you. If you live in a large house, you may find my settings profile to limit the reach in which case you will likely depend on lower MHZ like 40, or just use 2.4ghz and configure as above on the 2.4 profile in the wireless tab. When you make changes and select 'Apply' it will disconnect you so do not worry about that. Just wait about 2-3 minutes for it to reconnect. If you get any trouble when you fiddle with settings, log back into the 2.4ghz and you can change whatever setting you fiddled with on the 5ghz back to how it was when working. If anyone is using mac and running bootcamp windows, please go to device manager and select your wireless card and 'roll back' the driver. The updated version you are running on makes the card slow. Anyway, enough of the technical. I feel amazing. This router has given me what I pay for: fast internet. I now average 776-810mbps on my laptop which is more or less the theoretical limit. I may not need the full speed that I get for my use, but since I am paying Virgin Media for it, I want to have that running through my house. I do not accept that their hub is acceptable when only outputting 300mbps. That is a shambles and a regular excuse they use for poor equipment. Last but not least, the design is beautiful. I love the colour changing symbol even though I don't see it! This can be modified in the router portal you open by looking for the 'aura' tab on the far right of the home screen. It's wonderful. Enjoy. Read more

I originally purchased this router as a replacement for my standard virgin media provided one as the routers that ISP's provide are always substandard. This was a great replacement and provides brilliant signal around the entire house providing you set it up properly and don't have it hidden away in the corner of a room. I think there is a lot of misconceptions around routers and their role in replacing ones provided by your service provider : - This will NOT magically improve your download and upload speeds if you do not have the throughput for it to do this. - There is only so much a router can do against the laws of physics, if you place this behind 5 concrete walls, regardless of the model of router you WILL have bad signal. When it comes to computing. Especially networking, your experience is always dictated by your weakest link. For example if you have a gigabit connection up & down and then have a older router it will not be able to deliver these speeds over wi-fi, this is where a product like this comes in. I have a gigabit connection up & down provided by Toob and I can get roughly around 800Mbps of that over Wi-Fi thanks to 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) where as before on the virgin media Superhub I would get roughly 400-500Mbps as this was the weak link in the system. Now these speeds over Wi-Fi are only achieved on devices equipped with network cards capable of picking up these speeds (this is back to the weakest link analogy), older devices like for example an Xbox One original will NOT be able to receive these kinds of speeds as they use older network cards that utilised older network standards. This is not the fault of the router but the age of the end device, the Xbox in this example. In conclusion, this is a great product if you have the service to use it at it's full potential. I'm incredibly happy with it's Wi-Fi signal and performance and also the plethora of features in it's settings page / settings app. Read more

I bought this router because it said the 5GHz band width up to 3000MBPS, but it can't even reach up 100MBPS. I tested and compared this with the Etisalat provided D-Link router that gives 800MMPS where this hardly reaches 90MBPS. Secondly the D-Link range was much better than this one with highest performance transmission power set. Thirdly this was not a new item, but a returned one (obviously). I sent it back to the seller.

Many devices I have ( XBox Seris X which is compatible with 5GHz) and my MI TV box cannot connect to the 5GHz. It is not not comaptible with many devices. This occured after firmware upgrade. When I returned to my old D-Link 2660 everytiing goes fine with 5GHz. Therfore, I returned the product immediately. I am wondering why the Giant ASUS have such technical issues? I believe in ASUS, and the cat 6 should be compatible with previous connectivity. I d not recommend this product. I will try another model. Read more
