Product ReviewsASUS AC3100 1000 Mbps 8 Port 2167 Mbps Wireless Router (RTAC88U)

Great routers for IT people to keep on hand.

I buy these when I see them for a good price to keep on hand. I do IT and like to be able to offer customers a GREAT router at an even better value is always great for my customer as well as myself. As always I check all aspects of any used equipment I purchase before reselling it or leaving a review. Just bought 3 of these for 100 each plus tax and shipping. These new in a big box store would be around or over 250 each. It helps my customers because they get a router for cheap without getting a cheap router. It's great for me because I can mark up my cost a bit as well as have a router I'm both familiar with but also one that has has native support for pretty much anything I could need IT wise for the customers demands including a free DDNS Service or remote network administration.Read full review...

LOVE THE 8 PORTS AND SPEED.

LOVE THAT IT HAS 8 PORTS. MY OTHER 6 YEAR OLD NET-GEAR ROUTER WAS SLOWER THEN THIS ONE. IF THIS ONE CAN LAST ME 6 YEARS ILL BE HAPPY.

Great router

Great router, a lot to like, especially the dual wireless. Only negative is that enabling the Trend micro crap ware sends your info to Trend micro. Fortunately there are plenty of open source firmware versions available.Read full review...

Purchased for the parental controls

I purchased this router so I can have better parental controls for my kids. The problem is the parental controls are pretty limited in fairly complicated in order to use them for your lame and user this router might be good for somebody who’s a lot more experienced technical I thought the app at simplify things but I could use a lot of workRead full review...

Full-featured, but mediocre 5g performance

My bottom line: the RT-AC88U is full-featured and provides good full-house coverage for my 10 to 12 devices, but the 5g coverage is disappointing with a shorter range than the 66u it replaced. I'll keep it because the price was right and I love the tech features, but I'll stop short of an endorsement.Read full review...
