According to our router expert
The Asus ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 is a router designed for hardcore gamers. Connect your PC or console to 1 of the special network ports to prioritize all network traffic to this particular device. The Game Boost function prioritizes all wireless traffic to consoles. Disconnect 1 of the 3 WiFi bands to create a special WiFi network for gaming. This way, someone else can watch a movie on their smartphone while you're playing games without any problems. Use AiMesh to connect multiple routers and create a multi-room network. That way, you can set up a superfast WiFi network with a large range. Thanks to AiProtection, you can protect your home network against viruses and hackers. The router's fast processor lets you game, stream, and download on dozens of devices at the same time.

Asus latest router has a lot of potential, unfortunately the product was launched too early so there are still too many problems. There have been many updates and with the latest version 3.0.0.4.382.15984 the router is finally running quite stable. Unfortunately IPTV still doesn't work, Qos limits the speed to 20mbps and IGMP snooping kills your online streaming. This router is proposed as 'the gaming' router, but since there is no open NAT, you cannot play online with 2 game consoles simultaneously, game over! Additionally, Merlin does not support this router either. If you have an RT-ac88u, RT-ac5300 or even the old RT-ac68u, it's best to keep it with the Merlin firmware on it, this simply works much better than the new one. Hopefully Asus will get this all sorted out, the hardware can do it.

When I first started it up and connected it, I noticed it was fast. Each parameter that you have to change takes no time at all and therefore less frustration. I have the same download speed on my cable as on my mobile phone with WiFi!

This router is insanely fast, with no restrictions on even the fastest fiber and cable connections. The 8 LAN ports are a welcome addition, most routers stick to 4 ports and that is usually just too little. One of the 8 ports can also be used as a 2nd WAN port, so 2 internet connections can be connected, useful if you depend on the internet for work or if you want to game and stream at the same time without it getting in each other's way. The app is very comprehensive and allows you to monitor the network even when you are not at home. You can also very quickly set up temporary guest networks with a simple password, useful if you have someone visiting. A disadvantage is the size, it is a large device, but that has to be because the antennas have to be a certain distance from each other. Otherwise they will disturb each other. Anyway, I'm very satisfied with it, I can't think of any features that are missing and even with multiple users intensively taxing the router with gaming, Netflix, downloading and copying data over the network did not get him to his knees.
