The best router

If you have network problems at home and you love RGB ... this router is the right choice! It definitely improves the network and looks amazing. RGB is not aura sync but you can configure it from your smart phone or from the router page.

Amazing speed and features

Finally decided to upgrade from my old asus rt-n66u that I've had for years. So far things have been working great with amazing features. VPN fusion is great and something I've been trying to find for ages.

Love the game port!

Got this router to replace my net gear router. Love the features, especially the game port. Really like the mesh network capabilities so later down the line I have the option to expand my networks coverage.
