Reviews

After connecting quite a few devices like WiFi bulbs and Wifi speakers, we noticed a massive reduction in network speeds and constant drops offs from the router. It was only by chance that I was reading a review on a router and another Virgin customer had advised the original Hub 3 only supports a limited number of devices. The latency also drops because the loading time of my smart devices such as IP cameras are a lot shorter.

After replacing it the issue with speeds and drops off returned by that evening. We live in a big property, three floors, and I needed options to extend the Wi-Fi as well as give me some more LAN ports.

I have an xbox series x in each room for the kids upstairs and I needed that 5ghz band. I saw a slight increase in the Internet and WiFi speed but it is not really impressive. Overall I continue to be impressed with Asus and their routers, they fit our needs well and seem intuitive to setup and enjoy a useful mobile App and good UK technical support. There were a few niggly issues when setting it up but that was partly due to me using the same SSID and password as the Virgin hub to save me having to reconfigure every single device.

I am enjoying giving priority on traffic to media streaming over that of file downloads, no stuttering of watching videos whilst other download files. The AX88U seemed to fit the bill perfectly, it has 8 LAN ports. I don't know if I'll stay with Virgin after my initial contract expires, but I'll definitely be keeping this router and using it with which ever ISP I go with.

The UI, tech support and lots of useful tips and information, many YouTube videos, is just great. *VPN support*Stability - works flawlessly with multitude of devices in my home and is rock solid stable*Wall mountableCons:*Size - with antennas attached I could not fit in the same space as other devices before it. For example the kitchen in door camera which is the furthest device from the router used to sit around 75-80 (yellow/red) RSSI. channel 120).
