    Get Your Full Speed
    If you have a high-speed broadband connection, your cheap router (mine was a TP-Link) is probably robbing you of the speed you are paying for. I have a 1-gigabit subscription but was only getting about 650mbit using the the TP-Link. This is the problem with $60 routers, it seems. As soon as I plugged in the Asus RT-AX56U AX1800 I ran a speed test (ethernet) and I'm very pleased. I'm now getting the full 1-gig that I pay for.Also, you can split the 2.4 & 5GHz bands into 2 different SSIDs if you want. The router's webpage setup is easy.Highly recommended. I can't comment on the Wi-Fi yet, I'll update review later.Later: Wi-Fi works great. I have a new laptop that has the Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX200 card with Bluetooth 5.1. It immediately connected using the 802.11ax protocol at 5 GHz. Good range and fast speed. Phone connected on the 2.4 GHz band and slightly older laptop connected via its 802.11ac card. All are working well. Strong and steady signal using this router. No complaints.If you use a VPN service, there is a place in the router's setup for you to enter the provider's settings so that all your devices are protected online through the router.One caveat: Like most routers these days, it comes with WPS enabled. WPS is a security vulnerability. After upgrading the firmware, I went to wireless settings, the WPS tab and disabled WPS. Any hacker kid with the right software can crack your network if you have WPS enabled. So it's best to turn it off. WPS doesn't really do anything except make it easier for people to get on your wi-fi with push-button access. In the router's settings you can switch the WPS button on the router to be a wi-fi on/off button. Very handy when you want to quickly disable your wi-fi.I wish I could speak to more of the router's features but there are so many that I am not familiar with. If you're a network guru, you'll probably love this router due to the many options you have, most of which I don't know how to use so I just leave them alone. I thought I would have to pay much more for a router strong enough to get my full speed but, thankfully, I was wrong about that.
