## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you’re a gamer or someone who relies on connection speed.
*by K***S on June 12, 2024*

I’m a gamer and remote worker, So I wanted Two things from this router. 1. was to get better Wifi and connection speeds/stability and with updated technology in general which means this thing has newer technology than what was available in my basic router that My ISP provides. 2. I needed options to see security and other features not available to me from my other router. So I got that and then some. With the ability to customize my router settings unlike with my ISP router I was able to setup the newer technology in the Menu. Which is the router settings page. Firefox worked perfectly and connected to the router immediately. The router setup was easy but I was cautious. It prompted to UPDATE FIRMWARE which I and almost everybody recommend just make sure theirs no other programs running on the PC. I used Asus recommendations on their website for best security. I couldnt mess with these settings on my old router because my ISP locked down the page. I would recommend this if you need a more reliable router than your ISP provides. Its much better, trust me. I instantly saw the speed increase and it doesnt buffer at all when watching TV or on PC. Very smooth. So the gaming is far better experience than before. Im getting better latency in games like MW3 which has terrible servers to begin with. Sure you can’t get rid of the packet burst completely because of this. But this helps very much and Im glad I bought this. In the future who knows I might get something better and use this for its mesh capability. So there is that option. But honestly I couldn't ask for much more. Just make sure you research and turn off certain features that you dont need. Asus has recommendations that should help even in the settings page UI. Side note, I love MSI and ASUS boxes their nice quality.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than expected
*by Z***T on July 19, 2025*

I have had the RT-ax57 for a month now and no problems. The setup was easy, updated are simple and the phone app is superior to TP-Link and Netgear apps. The free security from TrndMicro works well. I am now considering purchasing another unit to extend my network with AI mesh as thus far Asus has been very impressive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great router
*by M***L on January 12, 2025*

Replaced my tp-link router as soon as I heard about a possible ban on tp-link in the US.I’ve had the router for a couple months now and it’s very reliable. The app makes it easy to manage your home network and perform updates.Really great value.Only thing I had issues with was the initial setup. I had to enable location services for the app for my phone to connect to the router using the app.Also, the instructions only have router set up with a modem. It’s doesn’t have a fiber set up.If your home internet doesn’t use a modem, a coax cable plugging into the network device, but only an Ethernet cable. Then that’s all you need to plug in.
