Works as a router

So far I'm pretty happy with this router. I only bought this as a quality replacement, one I hoped would function without micromanaging. This one does just that. I've played with the other features. They all seem to work except printers. Rarely works. If you do some digging, you'll find an extremely small list of only a handful of printers that Asus says are known to work. I got my cp1215 to work on one computer, but another machine wouldn't print, no matter what. USB storage and linking to the Asus app and their cloud works, although don't bet on their cloud being reliable, as it wipes data at random.

Works as Expected

Very happy with this router. I notice a great improvement in speed with all my Apple devices as well as my Win8 Laptop using a 802.11ac adapter. It was easy to setup. So far I don't any real cons. It is a bit warm to the touch compared to my other routers. Hopefull the higher then expected heat from the unit won't effect its life. Only time will tell on that one.

AWESOME

From a setup point of view, i give it a 3 out of 5. if you have some technical knowledge, then your fine. The biggest thing I have to give it credit for is managing all my wireless devices and wired devices. I use a lot of bandwidth up and this sucker can handle it.

I'm just glad it works somewhat

I could not set this router up using my Windows 8 machine. The WIN 8 firmware would neither open or install and seemed to be still under development Finally, I was able to set up at least the internet connection using a Win 7 laptop wirelessly. I have an internet connection now on my Win8 wired, WIN XP wired, and WIN 7 wireless, and Sony Home Theater wired. They all seem somewhat faster. As for doing anything else like changing any of the settings or connecting my printers, I am leavbing well enough alone and using it as a very expensive internet router. This is the 5th wireless router I have owned and installed. Setting this up is very complicated and the instructions are lacking. I'm not an amatuer as I have a BS in Electronics and 2 years of Tech Writing training. Some day I will get brave and try to use the other features this thing is supposed to have.
