Has only one USB connector, Intimidating web portal

High-speed Wi-Fi 6 router, Competitive price, Easy-to-use app, with optional browser interface, Good parental controls and security features
The antennae need room to breathe, Default Wi-Fi network is not password-protected
The RT-AX82U ticks a lot of boxes. Its strong Wi-Fi 6 performance is ideal for gaming, video and music streaming, but doesn't cost a fortune. The Asus app is quick and easy for newcomers to use, and provides good parental controls and security features. A...
Great software features for the price, Solid AX5400 performance with good coverage, Compact size and subtle design, AiMesh makes it expandable, Good gaming features

OFDMA, 160MHz and 1024-QAM, WiFi 6, Supports AiMesh, Has some gaming features, Excellent wireless performance when the client devices are compatible
Can't be mounted on the wall, The LEDs are in the wrong order, It has some mild stability issues on the 160MHz
Design and Build QualityWhile the RT-AX56U and the RT-AX58U had a relatively unobtrusive look, the Asus RT-AX82U is one of the most in-your-face looking wireless routers, sporting a case that's inspired by sci-fi battleships, featuring sharp angles and va...
Wrapping this one up, the RT-AX82U offers a reliable Wi-Fi 6 platform for the mainstream with excellent build quality in both the chosen hardware and plastics. That said, the plastics while matte in appearance, something I like, do take on fingerprints an...
Undeniably one of the most good looking routers, 802.11ax should be the new standard in 2021, RGB effects are fun to play with, Support 160MHz bands, Applausible throughput, The ASUS Router mobile app really has matured a lot
You can't wall mount it, Given the features it pack, one USB port is really not enough
If you came here reading about this RT-AX82U in evaluation, I'd say, if the year is 2021, go for it! You probably could fit 30 people around the router before you start running out of router range, and 30 concurrent users is a piece of cake for this cute...
