Glitchy and tempermental Router
Im a huge fan of Asus products. My thought was to buy the biggest, baddest router they make for my high traffic home. I was very wrong. The router firmware (updated or not) is extremely quirky . If your real lucky and reset to factory defaults / add your ssid and password it will work for short amounts of time. I had another asus router (ac3100) as a node utilizing the AI mesh mode and it worked for about 4-5 days at a time, then all of the sudden all of my connected devices would connect and the 2.4 ghz ssid would disappear. I called tech support (asus) and we back dated the firmware and it worked for about an hour. Called back again and asus told me that its probably firmware . Either way this router is an incredible concept but poorly executed. You can see this router is well made . Looks as if Asus did not beta test this very well prior to the launch. Too bad as its a great idea. Hope they figure this out. If you read other comments you will see I'm not the only one complaining of a similar issue.
