What customers say about "Network"

ASUS RT-AX92U Tri-Band Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System

Looks great build quality is fantastic love it!
In general the coverage and the speed is exceptional.
Easy to setup and configure it has an out of the box setup option and in depth setup options for the expert user.
Setup was really easy and the mesh has really improved my range and speed of coverage compared with my previous Router/AP setup.
The speed was quite poor until I found that its automatic channel selection wasn't working.

ASUS RT-AX88U AiMesh Dual Band Gigabit Router

5GHz wifi speed is fast even without a WIFI 6 client. With a WIFI 6 client the machine is blazing fast.
Two USB ports allow two attached USB devices--driver for network storage, networked printer, USB cellular modem, etc.
This product has an upside which is great speed from the router.
Range no greater, nor signals stronger at 2.4 or 5GHz than the Asus AX3000.
Connecting to an attached USB drive through Windows is nearly impossible.
