ASUS RT-AX3000 AX3000 Dual Band Wi-Fi 6 Router

2025-03-25T20:00:00

I bought this about a year and a half ago, hoping to get better Wi-Fi coverage and a better deal than the ISP rental unit. Unfortunately, about 2 days ago, the wireless portion of the unit completely stopped working. This is the important part of a Wi-Fi router, as all wired connections still work perfectly fine. At this rate, I would have been better off sticking with the ISP Rental unit for cost efficiency. After troubleshooting with the ASUS agents on the phone, performing all of the troubleshooting steps multiple times, I was informed that my unit was potentially broken and needed repair. This repair would cost $35 to diagnose the issue, then an unknown amount to repair it. Considering the cost of the router I decided against that. I decided that I will be purchasing a new router not from ASUS, or sticking with ISP rental. Considering that there are other reviews that state the router dying in about the same time period, the router was in a well ventilated area and kept clean, and the router was low to moderate usage, I believe this must have been a defect from the manufacturer in the form of a bad batch. Either way, unless ASUS plans to fix this, I hope to purchase a product with more consistent quality control.

I was in need to replace my 10+ year old Linksys router that could no longer keep up with today's high internet speeds. Enter the Asus, which completely erased my concerns about a complicated setup in the first few minutes. Just plug it in where my old router use to me, install and run the Asus easy setup app, and it couldn't have been more easy. Now we're flying at blazing fast speeds, and the app has some great tools to control which devices are connected, restrict access to some if needed (like if I want to keep my kids from screaming at video games all in the wee hours of the night... I can set the timer to cut off access at a certain time), it even looked at the devices I had plugged into the LAN ports and recognized that one of the cables was old and should be replaced with a modern Cat5 cable to achieve better speeds. Genius device!

I waited a month before submitting this review. I have not had any issues with the router since installing. The set up on the app was not easy peasy, and I made a mistake that resulting in my having to uninstall then reinstalling the app with help from a CS tech.And getting to one was crazy- I had to call the Business users line to get a live person who could help. Again, the product works well and I'm now getting the speed I pay for. The customer relation experience left something to be desired tho. Fingers crossed I don't need to call again anytime soon.

Purchased this on the advice of my son who works in the home and business technology field. I works perfectly for our 2800 square foot home. The price was great and the coverage is perfect for our needs. Primary uses are Streaming and computer use, home office.

I purchased this product because I need extended reach of the signals to reach my outside cameras. It was easy to set up, was a decent price and has worked very well both inside the home and out with the cameras.

Setting it up and getting it configured was easy. You can use an app or the browser interface to make changes. I have at least 18 wireless connections (4 laptops, 2 phones, 2 tablets, 3 Firesticks, & 7 cameras), and a PS5 hardwired. No problems.

Bought this on Amazon for the home. High Speed WIFI 6 and 7 compliant. We use it for Streaming, Gaming, Home Office, Printing, Mobile, and Security. Friendly User interface. There is a feature for AI security built in. Configuration has some complicated capabilities. Will need to school up about these. Overall, Two Thumbs Up!

I'm no stranger to ASUS products which I have used for over 30 years and I'm still using my 10-year-old RT-AC56U router. I also have installed many ASUS mother boards back in the 90's which were very reliable and performed very well.

I recently upgraded to the Asus AX3000, and it has exceeded all expectations. The setup was seamless, and the mesh network integration is flawless. The coverage and speed are remarkable, making it perfect for a high-demand household. Highly recommend for anyone seeking top-tier WiFi 6 performance!

I picked this up as an Amazon Refurbished item. This single router covers our house more effectively than the old TP Link mesh system that it replaced. It's more than fast enough for our current IP service. I did have some trouble getting it set up via the app because the router could not establish an online connection with the modem. After some helpful chat with a live agent, I was able to install the Asus using a wired laptop. Updating the firmware was a problem, basically because the unit arrived with very outdated firmware. Again, patient live chat support got me going with installing the latest firmware. The UI is a little clunky for a home user in my opinion. I'd like to be able to easily assign each device to either 2.4G or 5G. I guess I ignorantly set the router up for simultaneous dual networks instead of individual. Finally, using Fusion to use the router as an OpenVPN or Wireguard client is clunkier that the brief experience that I had using Cudy's UI. BUT, if this used RT-AX3000 lasts longer than 2.5 weeks, it'll have the Cudy beat??

I have used many routers over the years and this is one of the best in terms of software and reliability. Most routers are very limited to basic features and this one is packed from the factory without a need for 3rd party firmware.

I purchased this router about 2 months ago to use as a main router with an another in a mesh configuration. After the easy installation, all of my devices that were on the spotty edge of Wi-Fi signal, were now receiving a solid functional signal. I no longer needed to purchase another mesh router.

I purchased this in December 2023, and just recently installed it. My other Asus I had for over 10 years and needed to be upgraded. I am finding that my download and upload speeds have improved tremendously. Asus also offers an extended 90 warranty if you review their product which is awesome. With the advanced technology I feel much safer using this product. Thank you Asus.

Purchased and installed less than a month and already impressed with performance. As advertised, the range is good to at least 2000 square feet. What's annoying is you loose WiFi and internet connectivity during firmware updated that could last at least 5 minutes.

The WIFI is much better than the WIFI was on my NetGear router. I very much recommend this router. The WIFI reach in my house is much improved over the expensive NetGear router I had.

I selected this router based on previous reviews, and I wasn't disappointed. Wi-Fi range is better than I expected, all my devices are connected, and speed is great!

The RT-AX3000 router that I purchased, replaces my ASUS RT-AC87U that has served me well for many years. With the advent of the Gig internet plans, I needed to upgrade modem and router to handle the additional bandwidth. For the most part, the AX3000 is the equivalent of purchasing the AC87U back in the day, but the increased processing power, ease of set-up and smaller footprint of the AC87U are substantial improvements. The ASUS router interface remains familiar with no learning curve required. It has the same rear port configuration and antenna's positioning works the same. It has the same great built-in security features that I've become accustomed to. I noticed an immediate improvement in WIFI range/signal strength in the house, almost enough to discontinue using an extender at the far reaches. I'm still considering the benefits of expanding with the Mesh capability. Just as my ASUS motherboard based computers, my new router is continuing to prove that ASUS is the one stop shop for the "best of the best".

Needed to replace my exiting router from a competing company and decided on this ASUS Model after reading reviews. Set up was easy and the App was surprisingly full featured considering the price I paid for this particular model. This router has features that I only expected on routers that are twice as expensive. Just have to see how dependable this router will be. Only time will tell.

I bought the RT-AX58U variant of this router, which is allegedly the same thing. I didn't know that, but it's good news to me. :) This is 1 of the fastest routers at the mid-level tier that I ever had. Pretty easy to set up for the most part & it even has an Android app for remote access. Works seamlessly with all my devices - no issues or anything. Great security & other features too. Definitely a 3-star product... :D

Absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life. I will never buy another ASUS product as long as I live. I waited 45 minutes on the phone for customer service and they barely speak English. I try the chat support and they tell me to disconnect my router which disconnected me from the chat. I tried to fix things on my own and once I got the internet back up, I went to the chat, couldn't connect due to a TWO MINUTE timeout. I opened a new chat where I was first in que for 10 minutes before being disconnected and told to just try some other time. THERE WAS NO ONE AHEAD OF ME WITH 3 HOURS LEFT IN THE CUSTOMER SERVICE HOUR WINDOW. The router might work fine, but if you ever have any issues with it, it wioll become a $200 paper weight.

I bought this to replace the router that Spectrum replaced our old router with. Impossible to connect that router with the IoT devices we have. The ASUS router made it very easy. Plus we no longer need a range extender!
