Review: Reliable and good gaming router! - Have this paired with modem netgear cm-1200, ASUS extender rp-ac1900 (Ethernet back on for the ai mesh system). And Comcast gigabit internet. And all Ethernet cables are cat7. Always have 2 wired desktop PCs, 9 wireless connections. I recommend for any gamer. I love this router! Super easy set up, easy mesh setup. If you do wifi mesh you will drop a lot of MB’s. I only got 150 after wifi mesh. But it was solid and reliable. So I went with Ethernet back haul and got 600+on the other end of my house (60ft away from router.) 650 on the same side of the house as the router. 998Mbs lan to pc. I also only use the 5G wifi. Turned off 2.4G. After a month I had the issues everyone else had. Actually had it on the last router cause this was its replacement (old:asus ac-68u). Still had internet wifi issues. Had Comcast come out and look things over. They said since I just replace the router my less than 1 year old arris sb-8200 modem was the issue. Yeah, ok… So I bought the net gear cm-1200 to make sure. Still had issues. I really wanted to solve this wifi dropping the internet issue. Found a connection for the cable out side my house, looked good but when the problem happened if I disconnected it and reconnected it the issue would go away for a few days. I replaced the cable with a 100’ Kable direct cable and ran directly from the modem to the isp connection. Never had an issue again. Has been 12 months no problems. Have had the router for 16 months. Great features on the ap. Firmware updates via the app. I love this router. All in all, the issues I had was all the bad reviews on all sites. Turns out it was just a bad connection to isp. How many others have this issue and don’t know/think to check the connection to the modem from isp. Also this router has a feature called Dfs to change the frequency of the wifi. Found a really old thread on Reddit about a50s losing connection to base station due to wifi interference. And Omg my gen 2 asto A50s work again no cutting out. Who would of thought. That router signals was what was causing the astro a50s to lose connection to base station. Even better for ASUS to put that Dfs button click to fix the issue instead of trying to change the frequency manually. After all of that having solid internet and then getting to use my a50s again was total bonus!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Id there a way to control transmission power? I live in a small apartment and I would like to lower it so it doesn’t blast through the entire building**
A: Good on you for not using up more of the spectrum than you need.  Some people only think of themselves rahter than only broadcasting at the power they need for quality results.  You are the kind of neighbor I want.  In the professional tab you will find setting levels for each band.  You can get more granular (I believe) with the Merlin version of the software which is endorsed by Asus and will not void your warranty.   And yes, you should make sure you disable WEP, change the  administrative name and password (which should be really tough) and set a new ssid and complex passwords for WPA2 encryption.

**Q: What is the maximum number of nodes that can be added to an AiMesh network?**
A: After 7 nodes there aren't much improvements in terms of performance.

**Q: Why is the asus rt-ax92u considerably more affordable than the asus rt-ax88u??**
A: hi Chris, I think it's a supply and demand thing and Asus pricing. Prices on all routers seem to be changing daily. With more people working from home and needing networking equipment, router pricing was crazy for a few months, but seems to have settled down a bit now. 

The ax88 is older (released in 2018) and has more wired ports and accounts for some of the price difference but not all of it. ax92 was released late 2019. Both good routers IMO, I would lean more toward the ax92 as it's a bit newer and will likely get firmware updates sooner than the ax88. Good luck with you choice.

**Q: I wish to confirm the rt-ax92u will mesh with the rt-ac88u?  (i have 2 meshed now)**
A: I have the rtac880u and have it meshed with 2 rtax92u as repeaters so there is only 1 SSID and it works well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a very strong, and well made router!
*by G***G on May 18, 2020*

This router has impressed me. Before hand I was using a Linksys WRT32X which is similar to the Linksys 3200ACM. I would run my whole network through a VPN (ExpressVPN) to be exact. It would bogg down my network speed to 50mbps up and down. This Asus GT-AC2900 can run my VPN at 220mps down and 180mbps up without a problem through OpenVPN. In the past I've used L2TP encrycrption on a TP-link 3200 archer and was able to achieve 100mbps but that router died. Using VPNfusion I am able to select individual devices to run directly from my ISP and the surprising thing to me is how flawlessly it performs. I have about 10- 19 devices running at any given time. I configured the router to send every connection through a openVPN tunnel. So any device that enters my network is protected but I manually selected 3 desktops we use for gaming to go through our basic internet for lowest ping times and fastest download and upload speeds. I experienced some issues visiting websites like Amazon through the connections I made exceptions for and had to manually configure a DNS for each to solve the problem, that seems to be my ISP's fault. My full connection speed from my ISP is 500mbps up and down and on the connections outside of the VPN I am getting the full bandwidth of my connection. The dual core processor should be more than enough horse power for anyone I assume. I also understand OpenVPN is a single threaded application and I'm sure that plays a huge part in why it runs so well, since one core is free to do the other tasks. I've currently only had the router for a few days so time will tell how it holds up but so far it's been great. Anyone looking to use the Game Boost features though alongside a VPN might run into problems though. When I had to tried to run it through my nonVPN connections it caused my VPN connections to disconnect and run through my native internet which wasn't ideal. WTFast seemed to work I didn't get an improvement in ping times from it though and it only supports one device on your network at a time. I took a risk going with this router over the Asus 86u since I couldn't find out any information about it's VPN performance. The Asus 86u is a very similar router but it has a 32bit 1.8ghz processor this one is a 64bit 1.8ghz processor and as far as I know the Asus 86u doesn't have VPNfusion allowing you to run multiple connection types at once. Some details on VPNfusion I would like to share I figure someone might want to know. You can run up to 4 protocols at once and it works with OpenVPN, L2TP, and PPTP in client mode. You can also store up to 16 configurations (different servers) I've only used OpenVPN though. It also have VPN server functionality for PPTP, OpenVPN and IPSec VPN. Lastly in terms of ping times I had a significant reduction going from the Linksys WRT32X to this Asus GT AC-2900 in Fortnite my ping would be around 36-32 on my closest server and now sits around 22-14 I also play on a further server to play with friends on the other side of the world and used to get 100ping there and now I get 75-65. In Modern Warfare I dropped by about 15-20 there as well. I hope this helps someone, I would have liked to have this information myself previous to buying but I'm so glad I took my chance with it!
