ASUS AC1750 WiFi Router (RT-ACRH18) - Dual Band Wireless Internet Router, Easy Setup, Parental Control, USB 3.0, AiRadar Beamforming Technology extends Speed, Stability & Coverage, MU-MIMO

Refurbished unit doesnt work 5G channel sucks big time! i am definitely returning it!

Bought this because I have the AC3200 router that Im very happy with. Wi-Fi worked fine but I bought it for use with a wired device. Speed test showed high download speed but close to zero upload speed. Support could not help at all. Solved the issue with TP-Link RE600X, even though it has only one ethernet port works great for my wired device.

Bought this router from Best Buy on sale. It worked for a couple of weeks but now it constantly requires reboots while operating as the main router with my Asus RT-3100 as my AI mesh node. Absolutely nightmare dealing with Asus tech support.

I saw this access point as the solution to iffy wireless speeds for the part of my house my RT-AC88U tends to achieve. Turns out that I was sadly mistaken. The router provides speed in the 120-150 Mbps range on the far side of the house (the house is 1800 sq ft), its pretty much double that near the router. I bought the RP-AC1900 to bring those speeds away from the router back in line with it. I installed the 1st one I received per the instructions, and the router set up the mesh system very quickly (and to make it work better, I used the ethernet in my house for backhaul). However, when Id speed test, I was only getting 35-50 Mbps by hitting the access point. I then found the most recent firmware and updated the device. Still 35-50. I ended up calling ASUS (after getting the customer service # from Amazon) and they informed me that if the new firmware didnt fix it, then there was nothing left to do except return it. Since I really liked the idea of the mesh system giving me coverage I had Amazon send me a replacement. I got that today, and went through the same steps, with the same results. Then I changed ethernet cords and jacks to see if that was the issue. It was not. I tried speed testing with a laptop, an iPad & an iPhone (all on the 5ghz band to give me the best shot at speed). All 3 tested at 35-50Mbps. Needless to say, when I contacted Amazon, I arranged to return the device and this time, I got a refund. Ill likely find an ASUS router (instead of an access point) that will act in Mesh mode to accomplish my goal. EDIT - Turns out the ethernet cable I was using and an intermittent fault and that played a part in the speed I was getting using an ethernet backhaul. I dont have the devise to see how it would work with a good cable, but using a wifi back haul, the speeds were in the 70-80Mbps, still not very good. No one at ASUS asked me if Id tried different cables (and I didnt think of it), and the router / aimesh setup in the firmware didnt give me any access to see what was happening in the node so the system didnt let me know there was an issue. It may well be that AIMesh 2 is handled differently in the firmware and webUI to administer the system, I know it shows more info about the router Im using as a node now (RT-AC66U B1) which is how I found the faulty cable. So Ive raised my rating (as Im sure the hardware is better than what I experienced), but still knocking off a couple of stars for lack of management features that lead to a huge unnecessary waste of time (mine, ASUSs and Amazon customer service) and aggravation.

This is one of Asuss worst products. Even with the latest firmware its slow and under-powered.

great product!!!

Do not buy this one from Asus - loses connectivity to AI Mesh all day long, you will spend your days rebooting and troubleshooting this crappy router.

The only complaint I have is the signal will randomly drop. It’s come back in a couple of minutes and I am unsure whether or is the device currently connected or the router. It’s rare and doesn’t really affect me much. This is seriously the best looking router I’ve ever seen! I’m glad someone is putting effort into design.

Using the ASUS setup program was difficult. After setting up user name and password, I couldn’t connect. After a couple of tries the setup program no longer worked at all. I thought it was my lack of tech savy , but saw many others with same problem on line. Once I got it working it seems to perform as intended.

Worst extender I’ve ever used, Asus shouldn’t be offering such garbage to the market, it ruins their brand reputation…switched to another extender working fine then
