I finally decided to update my old linksys router but didn't want to kill the bank doing it. This is a great option. Duel band Wi-Fi and very user friendly interface for setup. I am running many different devices including a 4k UHD and HD streaming Tv's, with a desktop pc, two laptops and two phones. I have not seen a hiccup or a slow down on any device! The Wi-Fi covers my 1300sq ft house with ease. I WOULD recommend this unit to anyone looking to update their home network.

I have had difficulty integrating this router into my AIMesh group. I reset it to factory defaults and it was easily incorporated into the AIMesh group. It then quickly upgraded to the latest ASUS firmware version. The router has not performed well though and has required multiple reboots when it has slowed down or ceased to respond to Wireless traffic from my streaming and mobile devices. I've moved it to be a node that has lower demand on it and put one of my other ASUS routers I purchased new in its place. This router's performance has been "ok" but that's not what I was expecting when I purchased it. I do not feel I got value for my $$$s with this used router.

I do have the longer antennas, so no issue with coverage and is really fast. The only problem I am having is, I have a small hard drive properly formatted and the router sees it, but the computer only sees the multimedia aspect of it. Even when accessing the multimedia, you have to enter user name/password when it is not set up in the console. There are other devices (not a laptop or desktop) which can see the external hard drive, but cannot access any of the files nor prompted for a user name password. The previous smart router I had, also had the USB hard drive attached, and in the Windows network folder, the drive would appear in the top without having to map it. If I knew how to map it, I could try it. Coverage is really good, but was hoping to take advantage of Network Attached Storage (NAS), I have not tried hooking a USB printer up yet, but we shall see if it works the way it is supposed to.Read full review

Bad start with this one in AP mode, but finally got it to scream! Cant remember the setting but one setting in AP mode was the difference between nothing and AWESOME! Once I clicked the setting everything worked great. Great coverage and power. Fantastic speed on my 100Mb FIOS connection. Love this AP. ==chuck

The Asus RT-AC680 AC1900 wireless router is a very good middle of the road router to meet todays needs and those of the future. No it does not have new blazing speeds or MIMO technology but to be frank most home computers cannot handle them anyway. If your lucky you may have current wireless AC600 or AC1200 wireless technology and 10/100/1000 Ethernet connectivity and if you do this router will give you the performance you are looking for. It excels in LAN to LAN communications where ISP service limitations do not slow you down but if you are surfing the Internet blazing faster wireless technology is a waste of dollars spent. This router at under $130 is a great connection for your LAN to LAN and internet needs. I get 180Mbps reliably to Comcast with it with new Black Friday Laptop and max out the capabilities of my older 10/00/1000 and wireless networks with speed between 70Mbps and 172Mbps depending on adapter and computer vintage.. Its wireless coverage is more than adequate to provide a strong to excellent signal in both 2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz bands in my small 2560 sq. ft. home including the 1200 sq. ft. basement. Before this router I tried using a Linksys WRT1900AC which did not reliably connect at AC600 or AC 1200 speeds on the 5.0Ghz band. This one does and its Web application is fairly easy to use to maximize the throughput of this router. It easily handles streaming video to three TV's a 4K feed thru Netflix and Xffinity feeds to other TV's and computers concurrently. I uninstalled the WRT1900AC and installed this RT-68U in its place and instantly saw the improvement in my networks performance without making any changes. Once I used the Web application to fine tune its performance the network is considerably better than when I had the WRT1900AC in place. This one is a keeper.Read full review
