I am debating a similar situation.

Can you use it similarly as an AP? I have ethernet cables everywhere and I am unsure if it uses an wired ethernet backhaul or not.

I just recently upgraded my internet from Extreme 250 to the gigabit network with xfinity. Problem is my upload speed increased but my download speed did not. If I plug my MacBook directly into my Netgear cm1000 I get download speeds in the 700's but I am getting around 200 through my router. I...

I just recently upgraded my internet from Extreme 250 to the gigabit network with Comcast xfinity. Problem is my Asus 5300 is having speed issues. Without router I am downloading in the upper 700's and with my router my speeds are in the low 200's. Tech support recommended I switch to the new...

Best Asus for a gigabit network?

My 5300 is the best router I have ever purchased and I am not having any 'bugs'

Moved up to the 5300 and I already have one 87 used as an access point. Great router for $150 and I will cover shipping to continental US.

How is everyone liking their new routers? I am about to pull the trigger.

Thanks for your help!

I wish I could wait. I must like pain or torturing myself. It took forever for me to be able to use a second 87 as an access point. As soon as everything gets stable, it is time to upgrade to the next beta router :) I am leaning towards the 5300 myself even though I don't have any 4x4 products...

I will be buying one as soon as it is available! I must love drama and being let down!

I had this router and the parental controls gave me no way of picking one or two mac addresses and put custom time blocks on each device. It wanted to apply all of my devices to a time block. My daughters are at different ages and their allowed times are different. It was definetly not easy to...
