I'm not an everyday gamer, I'm over 30 and work from home as a designer, but I need to have a stable quality connection when I want to play on the PS5 Pro once or a few times a week, with the previous TP-LINK router it was one big tragedy, this choice was probably the best I could have made. I definitely recommend everyone who is trying to detect problems in their network to monitor the network, log it, including ping, latency, speed, and then act accordingly, e.g. switch internet providers. This gaming router will help you do just that. It's definitely not suitable or I wouldn't recommend it for a regular family, there are hardware models of similar quality at the same technical level, such as. Asus TUF-AX6000 model, which is 1:1 with this one, but it is devoid of some things that will be used only by gamers or people who want to have a continuous overview of the network. I have over 22 devices connected to it 24/7 (smart home). Quality handling, and a nice design, although that's a matter of opinion, I didn't like it at first in the pictures either, I've never been a fan of such overstuffed plastic things that are made for like gamers, while for example those antennas could be 6x as small, since there's just a stretched metal wire inside, and everything else is just for effect, but the whole router once you get your hands on it is well made, sturdy, heavy, it's definitely not just an overpriced piece of plastic, the hardware justification is there, and compared to the TUF-AX6000, which also has a 2.0GHz quad-core processor and 1GB of memory, there's a different and better processor manufacturer. I received a piece that has a production caliber of 2024, so even though the router is 2 years old, Asus still has it newly manufactured.
