Does what it is supposed to do - give you a router, with ethernet ports and a strong WiFi signal. Biggest complaint is the antennas - they don't stay in the position you place them. If you wanted to have one or more point in anything but 90° forget it. If if doesn't immediately fall it will in a few minutes. That does not seem to affect the actual operation on the Router.

Just amazing in every way and so full of features that it even works with alexa under the WAN Settings and very simple to use along with the rang that completely reaches my 3000 sq foot house with ease and speed never decreases even with all the other devices I have connected through out my home! If your a serious gamer this is a must have especially when playing Call of Duty!! No lag what so ever and ping is down to almost 5 miliseconds.. Cant beat it!

If you're fed up with virtual private networks dragging down game performance, ROG has the answer.

So even if other network users need to use a VPN, you can still enjoy maximum gaming speeds.
Your Own Gaming Wi-Fi Band!
Have you ever dreamed of having a Wi-Fi router just for gaming? Dream no longer: With the tri-band ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 you can easily allocate one of the two 5GHz bands to gaming devices, while other devices use the second 5GHz band or the 2.4GHz band.

Battle-Ready Hardware
ROG knows exactly what top gamers need: ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 is built for full-on gaming action with hardware that's ready to meet the toughest challenges. Eight gigabit LAN ports provide the connections you need for all of your gaming devices, and two USB 3.0 ports give you high-speed access to files on USB storage. Hardcore NAS enthusiasts will appreciate the Link Aggregation feature that lets you team two LAN ports together into a single blisteringly fast 2Gbps connection.
Extreme 1.8GHz Quad-Core Power
The ultimate router needs the ultimate processing power, so ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 is powered by a top-of-the-line 1.8GHz 64bit quad-core CPU that puts many desktop processors to shame. It offers more than enough power to handle anything you can throw at it, without skipping a beat - whether it's maximizing the WAN/LAN throughput for online gaming, supercharging USB data transfers, or powering your team's LAN party.
Built For Wi-Fi Freedom!
Wi-Fi is great, but not if it dies or slows down before it reaches your favorite gaming spot. To achieve the freedom you deserve, ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 features RangeBoost, a powerful range-enhancing combination of hardware and software that increases coverage while also significantly improving long-range throughput! At last, you decide where to play - instead of your router!

AiMesh is powerful, flexible and you can use a mix of ASUS router models - protecting your investment! AiMesh gives you time-saving central control, and seamless roaming capability.
