This is by far the easiest modem/router I have installed/setup in my 20+ years working with cable modems, ISDN, many ADSL(+) and 3G/4 capable modem routers. It is also my first ASUS branded product and while this AC modem has been on the market for some time it is still current while ASUS still adds updates and new features. It also can be flashed with 3rd party FW like Tomato, Merlin ... I primarily bought it due to the fact that it supports a vast range of 3G/4G USB modems (in my instance Optus 4G+) and the service speed in specific upload speed (have achieved 30Mbps+ upload and hovering around 50 Mbps download) is compared to the fastest NBN link.

Its a router.... you have to submit all your data usage to a 3rd party (MicroTrend) if you want to use some the features. Such as QOS, Parent Control, Any kind of Analytics etc... Unable to use the VPN Client with Netflix (Netflix issue) and you cant add routes to bypass within the router. Connection is fast enough, WIFI and Cable both good. Looks nice and doesn't take up too much room.

We desperately needed some sort of parental control over our home WiFi, getting myself to rage mode everyday was not good for anyone, I thought I might kill 2 birds 1 stone and upgrade our WiFi speeds also so ac68u.. Our WiFi speeds have increased on average from 10mbps to 55mbps on 5 or 6 devices which is great, I no longer need the range extender we were using in the house. Best of all the parental control allows me to time schedule every device in the house and also allows me to temporarily allow or block any device from the Asus app on my phone. 2 days and already our stress levels are down, not having to fight with kids every step of the day!!

Bought another ASUS router to get better coverage across the far side of the house. Bought a 2nd hand one to save $$$. Only trick was to upgrade the BIOS to the latest version in order for the Aimesh options to appear and then added it to the network and setup on the other side of the house. Great quality and easy to use admin interface to set it up. The ASUS routers also don’t seem to be so affected by being on for a long time, so have needed to periodically restart like other router brands. I also noted that there was an option to set a restart on a schedule if ever needed. Very happy with the router.

Great value for money. I don't require a modem for my internet so a stand alone router was an easy option to connect devices wirelessly and manage multiple wired connections at the same time. This modem has been great so far. I like that I can manage the router from my mobile phone and see what devices are connected, check status of router/network, trouble shoot connection problems, monitor usage, setup guest wifi networks, and so much more from the tip of my finger. Easy set up and hasn't skipped a beat. Great value compared to other stand alone routers I looked at in store from other brands that aren't very "reliable" that were much more pricey. Asus has always been reliable in my books, so it made sense to buy their router. Highly recommended.
