First off I'm far from an expert when it comes to understanding and installing routers and modems. The instillation was fairly easy, Instruction were kind of ok, but just a few snags along the way that I was able to sort out and within a short time had my 2 computers linked up to the new router along with a new Arris modem replacing an older Arris model.
The Wi-Fi connection has a strong solid signal throughout the house to my home theater and cell phones and looks to be better that the previous ASUS AC1900.... (which was a good and reliable component that I was very please with)....The new AX2700 has been up and running for just under a month and had performed solid so far with no problems. I hope it has the same longevity and the AC1900 ( which still works fine) ..
Not sure about the Tech Support if needed. I called them with questions about the older AC1900 that was out of warranty, but was given a website for support help with any tech questions. I'll need to make sure this new router gets registered to avoid any issues.
All in all I have been very please with ASUS products performance and quality and can highly recommend this for any one looking for a excellent router in their home use.
Shipping was good, though delayed by a day. I did receive email update about this, so no big deal.
Update: Still running cold and is pretty solid. I would definitely buy this model again!
A few vids, including the Asus ones, showed quite a few steps to set up the Mesh network. It was way easier in actual practice. Maybe they upgraded the system. I connected the router to my computer using an ethernet cable and connected the cable modem. Called up the configuration screen. It asked me if I wanted to set it up as a mesh node or a router. Chose node. Then it told me to hook the computer back to the main router and leave this one powered up and close to it. After the main router powered back up, I logged into that config screen and clicked on the AiMesh Node button. Then I clicked on the Find AiMesh node button. After a short wait, it detected the new router and asked if I wanted to use it as a mesh node. Yep. Short pause then it said it needed a firmware update.
Clicked on Administration -> Firmware Update tab -> Check for update. Told it up update the node. Let it do its thing. Router (now node) power cycled. Back to AiMesh screen, told it yes I wanted the detected device to be a node. Waited a bit. Then that was it.
The only hiccup was that my device wouldn't switch until the signal dropped below -70 dBm. Still a "good" signal per my WiFi signal strength app, but really bad when trying to transfer data. From a YT video (search for "Behfor") I adjusted the threshold to -60 dBm. Wireless button within the Advanced Settings section. Professional tab. Scroll down to the Roaming Assistant line. Enable and change the number in the "Disconnect clients with RSSI lower than :" from -70 dBm to -60 dBm. Apply.
Wonderful. I can move around and my phone moves from node to router and back transparently. There is a little delay when it switches radios, but streaming music doesn't stop playback. Totally happy with my Asus routers! The Linksys it still under warranty, so I'll try and get them to fix/replace it. But even if I do get it fixed, I'm selling it off. Asus is so much better.

A FAVOR:
+ Fácil instalación, aunque para sacar todo el provecho (el 100%) a este equipo y sus características, es necesario tener conocimiento de redes y su seguridad, puedes configurarlo desde tu celular descargando la aplicación correspondiente.
+ Soporta un buen número de dispositivos conectados, he conectado hasta 15 dispositivos, todos conectados y funcionando al mismo tiempo y, la velocidad de conexión tanto de carga como descarga NO "se baja".
+ La cobertura inalámbrica, tanto en la banda de 2.4 como de 5 Ghz. es muy buena, alcanzando en mi caso en la de 5 Ghz. hasta los 12 metros a la redonda (con una pared de por medio).
+ Cuenta con herramientas de seguridad (Trend-Micro para malware y AiProtection Pro para los equipos de la red) que monitorean los dispositivos que se conectan a la LAN creada con este router, así como supervisan todo el tráfico de datos que vienen desde y salen hacia Internet, además de poder establecer políticas para control parental.
+ Se puede actualizar su firmware con regularidad, para contar con mayor protección a los equipos y estabilidad a la red de área local (LAN).
+ En mi caso me permitió configurar y dar seguimiento a los puertos de Internet, para poder colocar detrás de este router un servidor casero (dispositivo NAS) con servicios web (http y https) y web-dav.
+ Lo he tenido funcionando las 24 horas los 7 días de la semana y la velocidad de conexión se ha mantenido estable en todo momento, lo que me ha permitido prácticamente no tener que reiniciar mi conexión a Internet hasta en un mes.
EN CONTRA:
+ Después de no reiniciarlo por casi dos meses, detecté que no me reconocía uno de los puertos ethernet, pero al reiniciar este router volvió el puerto correspondiente a funcionar con normalidad.
+ Su precio me parece un poco alto, pero por las características con que cuenta, bien vale la pena la inversión.
CONCLUSIÓN:
Puedo recomendar este equipo para usarlo como gestor de una red LAN casera y su conexión a Internet, en lugar del equipo que proporciona el ISP (proveedor de acceso a Internet), el cual en muchas ocasiones no es actualizado de forma automática y su seguridad es muy básica (en mi caso tengo un ONT de fibra óptica), por lo que todos los dispositivos de casa en lugar de conectarlos al equipo ONT, los tengo conectados a este router Asus, que espero y siga funcionando como hasta la fecha.
¡Gracias por su atención!
Fonctionne très bien, très bon achat, recommandé par la revue Protégez-vous.
