Hey!

I’m hoping to pick up an ASUS router this Black Friday and I just wondered whether anyone had any recommendations (other than go for “insert other brand here” router) about them, anything to keep an eye on, avoid, look for a certain feature.

Thanks in advance!

Are you a gamer? Do you think a gaming Asus router will give you an edge? It will not.

Lacks most professional features a real router would give, ever getting fiber? Need SQM for bufferbloat?

I guess it has RGB?

I am a gamer, but the last time I played a competitive online multiplayer game was a very long time ago so I’m not really bothered about a ”edge”

As you’ll see from my other posts to the other comments in the thread, I’m just looking for a decent router that I can build upon in the future.

I don’t really want a high-end professional system because quite frankly, I won’t utilise it and it’ll be a waste of money Not to mention if I ever want to get anything done I probably won’t understand the front end of the client.

No I don’t care about RGB it’s going in a cupboard and probably not gonna be looked at again for a long time.

Truth Be Told, I like ASUS Because I have this stuff in my computer and have always found it quite reliable. I also really like the AI mesh and think it’s quite quite a use a friendly system.
