RT-AX52 (AX1800) Dual Band WiFi 6 Extendable Router, Instant Guard, Parental Control Scheduling, Built-in VPN, AiMesh Compatible

Like many others, I bought this to replace the sky max hub which i found to be less than adequate to serve my 3 bed house. The RT-AX52 was one of the first routers that popped up when searching for a WiFi 6 router, and after a quick google session, found that it was compatible with the sky fibre. As others say, it was straight forward to set up by simply connecting the cable from the ONT to the WAN port, and switching the unit on. I then navigated to the routers web page where it asked me to set a login password, and then enabled me to set my SSID and password. The wifi signal throughout the house is now much improved, with the asus giving a 5Ghz connection at near enough full speed in areas where the sky hub had struggled to maintain a 2.4Ghz connection, even with a multitude of devices all connected and streaming at the same time. The router has many other useful functions which i am taking advantage of including a free DDNS hostname and VPN server, aswell as parental controls so i can restrict the kids from accessing things they shouldnt be accessing. The app comes in handy for seeing who's connected, and also enables me to block internet access to certain devices at the click of a button which helps keeps the kids in line. Also, if you need to reboot it for any reason, it is really quick and you dont have to wait 20 minutes for it come back on like you do with ISP routers! All in all I would recomend this router to anyone looking to improve their wifi coverage and speed, from beginners to experts. Really easy to set up and use - even for those with no experience, and has the advanced features available for those who need them. 10/10 and a bargain at this price - treat yourself.

I recently got BRSK fibre internet which is great, the router that came with it was only WiFi 5 though, which was fine but WiFi 6 is better for handling households with many devices. As we have ring doorbells, smart light bulbs, ipads smart tv's etc I figured it was worth upgrading the router immediately. Although I had no real complaints with the basic router, the Asus one is a clear upgrade giving better speed and range. We have a small 3 bedroom house (modern, thin walls) and the signal is fine in all areas and out to the garden too. The setup is probably the best part - scan qr code, download app, the app couldn't be more user friendly, takes you throught step by step and does everything for you. 5 stars from me!

Great little router my sky router was causing major issues with my new iPhone 17 pro max WiFi speed, swapped over to this after good reviews, very easy set up just plug and play straight into fibre socket, phone now works great and WiFi around the house ten times better than with sky router, for the price exceptional performance

After an initial hiccup the RT-AX52 has been rock solid for me. The hiccup was that it would sometimes lose the 2.4 ghz WiFi completely. It wouldn't even show up in the list of WiFi connections to connect to on my iPhone. After a couple of reboots of the router it came back and I was able to connect to it without issue and it's been faultless ever since (nearly 3 months). That hiccup only happened on the first day of receiving it and setting it up. I can't give a full in-depth review because I'm using it in Access Point mode which disables a lot of the router functions such as QOS, VPN, Alexa integration, etc. It has many of the same functions and features as my more powerful ASUS RT-AXE7800 router and there's no reason to believe the RT-AX52 will be any less competent. As an access point it functions very well. I have it set up in a shed at the top of the garden (55 metres/180 feet) away. The internet connection is coming from a very long ethernet cable connected between a switch in the house and another switch in the shed. From there the RT-AX52 is connected via a short ethernet cable to the shed switch. When I plug a laptop in to one of the RT-AX52's LAN ports and run SpeedTest I get my full 1gig download speed and maximum upload speed. When I unplug that short ethernet cable and connect to the WiFi speeds are great. Obviously, speeds are at their very best when closer to the router/access point and connected to 5ghz WiFi but even when walking 20-30 metres away from the router I stay connected to the 5 ghz network and have usable speeds. The 2.4ghz band gives me full garden coverage and more than adequate speeds. I was able to play YouTube videos in 1080p, 2K and 4K resolutions without any lag or buffering. Before purchasing I knew that I wanted a router that I could use as an access point, was easily configurable, wasn't too gimmicky, and that provided stability for wired and wireless connection. The RT-AX52 fits the bill perfectly. As a router there's enough options for configurability for all but the most technically minded of people/tinkerers. For the average user its a pretty accomplished device and it works very well as an access point. Note: I recommend downloading the ASUS Router phone app and configuring the router from there. There are quite a few YouTube videos out there to assist you if you need help.

Works great. Wi-Fi 6 is super. ASUS mobile app is good. Lots of extra features for advanced usage, like creating a mesh network with other ASUS routers, or hosting servers if that's your gig. Security features are good and firmware updates are semi-regular. I've owned two pieces of TP-Link equipment in the past, but both pieces were unreliable hunks of junk. I've owned three pieces of ASUS equipment, and all three of them have worked perfectly.

Great router, great speed, highly recommended, I have purchased 2 routers that are replacing my current tp link routers 💯

It’s great to use but the cable of the internet it’s not that long

connect wan port to lan port of ur current etisalat router, set up using asus app, and enjoy the router, this needs to be already in the instructions.

very slow ..wifi disconnect every 30 seconds
