Great upgrade option!
I finally decided to update my old linksys router but didn't want to kill the bank doing it. This is a great option. Duel band Wi-Fi and very user friendly interface for setup. I am running many different devices including a 4k UHD and HD streaming Tv's, with a desktop pc, two laptops and two phones. I have not seen a hiccup or a slow down on any device! The Wi-Fi covers my 1300sq ft house with ease. I WOULD recommend this unit to anyone looking to update their home network.

Has not performed well in the AIMesh
I have had difficulty integrating this router into my AIMesh group. I reset it to factory defaults and it was easily incorporated into the AIMesh group. It then quickly upgraded to the latest ASUS firmware version. The router has not performed well though and has required multiple reboots when it has slowed down or ceased to respond to Wireless traffic from my streaming and mobile devices. I've moved it to be a node that has lower demand on it and put one of my other ASUS routers I purchased new in its place. This router's performance has been "ok" but that's not what I was expecting when I purchased it. I do not feel I got value for my $$$s with this used router.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Does well with speed and coverage
I do have the longer antennas, so no issue with coverage and is really fast. The only problem I am having is, I have a small hard drive properly formatted and the router sees it, but the computer only sees the multimedia aspect of it. Even when accessing the multimedia, you have to enter user name/password when it is not set up in the console. There are other devices (not a laptop or desktop) which can see the external hard drive, but cannot access any of the files nor prompted for a user name password. The previous smart router I had, also had the USB hard drive attached, and in the Windows network folder, the drive would appear in the top without having to map it. If I knew how to map it, I could try it. Coverage is really good, but was hoping to take advantage of Network Attached Storage (NAS), I have not tried hooking a USB printer up yet, but we shall see if it works the way it is supposed to.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Outstanding!
Bad start with this one in AP mode, but finally got it to scream! Cant remember the setting but one setting in AP mode was the difference between nothing and AWESOME! Once I clicked the setting everything worked great. Great coverage and power. Fantastic speed on my 100Mb FIOS connection. Love this AP. ==chuckVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great Performance for a Low Price.
The Asus RT-AC680 AC1900 wireless router is a very good middle of the road router to meet todays needs and those of the future. No it does not have new blazing speeds or MIMO technology but to be frank most home computers cannot handle them anyway. If your lucky you may have current wireless AC600 or AC1200 wireless technology and 10/100/1000 Ethernet connectivity and if you do this router will give you the performance you are looking for. It excels in LAN to LAN communications where ISP service limitations do not slow you down but if you are surfing the Internet blazing faster wireless technology is a waste of dollars spent. This router at under $130 is a great connection for your LAN to LAN and internet needs. I get 180Mbps reliably to Comcast with it with new Black Friday Laptop and max out the capabilities of my older 10/00/1000 and wireless networks with speed between 70Mbps and 172Mbps depending on adapter and computer vintage.. Its wireless coverage is more than adequate to provide a strong to excellent signal in both 2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz bands in my small 2560 sq. ft. home including the 1200 sq. ft. basement. Before this router I tried using a Linksys WRT1900AC which did not reliably connect at AC600 or AC 1200 speeds on the 5.0Ghz band. This one does and its Web application is fairly easy to use to maximize the throughput of this router. It easily handles streaming video to three TV's a 4K feed thru Netflix and Xffinity feeds to other TV's and computers concurrently. I uninstalled the WRT1900AC and installed this RT-68U in its place and instantly saw the improvement in my networks performance without making any changes. Once I used the Web application to fine tune its performance the network is considerably better than when I had the WRT1900AC in place. This one is a keeper.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Refurbished

Great value and a rock solid performer
The Asus mesh enabled routers are very easy to set up. I have had a RT-AC68U for 7 years that I paired 2 years ago with a new RT-AX56U. Now that the RT-AC68U price has dropped below $40 it was an easy decision to add a couple more to my home mesh network. They only needed a firmware ware update to join the mesh. The AC68U is a rock solid performer for a very good home WIFI network. I plan to add another next month!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Replacement Wireless Router for Frontier Communications Actiontec Wireless
After some web research on wireless routers that can successfully run a VPN client configuration, I came across this particular model in that it wasn't overly expensive had the hardware guts to handle the load (2 processors) of handling encryption / decryption tasks while natively supporting onboard VPN client configuration out of the box with ASUS-WRT. Depending on which VPN provider you go with (I'm using PIA), configuration can take some doing but the fact that this device supports it off the shelf is great. Asus' admin interface is fantastic and feature rich. There is also the option of flashing to more advanced Merlin firmware which is based on ASUS-WRT so current settings are preserved, etc when upgrading / reverting. Performance-wise this thing is WAAAAAAY better than the Actiontec MoCA combo wireless router and turning it on showed vast coverage and signal strength improvement. Very pleased with this device - I can easily stream VUDU, NetFlix, etc from my SmartTV and it does everything I ask it to do with little effort. We have at least 14 devices hitting this thing and it hasn't so much as blinked yet. Of course if you have a larger family with several iPads, gaming consoles, smart TVs, computers and the like, you may opt for a more powerful Asus router but for my wife and I's needs, it's perfect. This is a quality product for sure.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Easy setup, performs well
I've been in IT a while so me saying the setup was easy probably doesn't mean much but I wanted specifically to be able to set custom DNS (which Comcast's device won't allow) and to be able to play WoW over WiFi which is really just a terrible idea but the way our house is, I didn't really have much of a choice at the time. Obviously the DNS was simple but WoW over WiFi was as terrible an idea as it sounds. I did have a tri-band card and the router is a mere 10ft away, unobstructed, but it's still WiFi.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Works great in an AiMesh network.
I bought this router to use as a node on an AiMesh network with an RT-AC68U as a second node and an RT-AC3100 as the main router. The system works great and we always have an excellent signal anywhere in the house. I have Xfinity and a 1,000mbps download and a 35mbps upload connection and even though I could not get over 625mpbs running directly from the modem, I still have between 450mbps and 550mbps any where in my house when on 5G. I also have excellent connections with 2.4G, but not anywhere near the 5G speed, which was to be expected. My house is around 3,000 sq ft and I usually have at least a dozen devices connected.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great to set up AiMesh Network
I already had an Asus RT-AC88U router in my home. Bought this to create a mesh network using the new AiMesh technology that allows you to create a mesh network using Asus routers. It works perfectly.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Refurbished
