RT-BE86U many 1-star reviews on Amazon

[maxbraketorque]

There are a very large number of 1- and 2-star reviews on Amazon for the RT-BE86U. Lots of DOA and malfunctioning routers out-of-the box. However, I don't see many people complaining about it on this forum

Because:
a. Most of us know how configure them correctly
b. Those coming here for advice quickly learn how to configure them.
C. The majority of the failures are through poor configuration.

..... see a pattern?

I see your point in that most ASUS routers have approx 10% 1-star reviews, but the BE86U is up at 22% 1-star reviews. Maybe more people are trying the BE86U because its among the least expensive ASUS BE routers right now.

It may be a regional thing, because looking at Ama-UK the 1 star rating make up less than 10%, and 5 star ratings are around 70%!
