What to know about ASUS routers

ASUS is the brand to pick if you want a lot of control at no extra cost. Its routers come with security tools and parental controls at no extra cost, a full settings page in the browser and an app for quick changes. Most models carry a three-year warranty, longer than most brands give.

The range is wide. The RT routers cover everyday homes, from modest Wi-Fi 6 boxes to Wi-Fi 7 models with 10 Gbps ports. ROG Rapture and ROG Strix are the gaming flagships, built for fast wired gear and game traffic, while TUF Gaming brings the same idea at a lower price. ZenWiFi kits cover larger homes as mesh, and the RT Go models are small enough to travel with.

The thread that ties it together is mesh. Most ASUS routers can join one network, so you can add a ZenWiFi unit to a gaming router or keep your old ASUS router as a second unit when you upgrade. The trade-off is complexity: there are more settings than most people need, and the gaming models are big boxes.
