This item arrived on time in the original packaging with all original accessories. Setup was simple and I was able to flash custom firmware without issue. Having an extra layer of privacy between my home network and my ISP is indispensable. For reference, I'm using Express VPN with an Xfinity modem. Throttling has not been an issue since installing this router.

I'm not sure why it gets so hot. Longevity is a worry of mine. It is a powerful router, and I got it for under $50, and the UI for the settings is very nice with a rich feature set. Lot's of options if you want it. Bandwidth monitoring, and good parental controls.

This router replaced an old Netgear single band Wireless-G router being used in an apartment building. We had constant disconnects on the old router (likely due to a congested 2.4ghz band). When setting up the RT-AC56R I chose different names for each band and exclusively use the 5ghz band with all of our devices unless they are older and only work on the 2.4ghz band. Since switching it has been a night and day difference. My laptop's connection is now rock solid and never disconnects. Range is also good, I get a strong 5ghz signal in every room of the apartment. This router also supports Merlins Custom firmware which has additional features such as OpenVPN server/client and SSH. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an inexpensive AC router. You will not find anything better in this price range (~$60, bought in May 2016).Read full review

It was easy to setup. Even my Brother printer on our network. All devices got a nice performance boost and the ASUS app is awesome.
