With record-breaking 802.11ac results, along with the all-round quality of the RT-AC68U and advanced setup options, Asus deserves recommendation for power users. Although we wouldn't buy an Asus router just for the AiCloud feature, it's far from useless...
Benchmark wireless performance, Class leading USB speeds, Intuitive CD-less setup, Remote media streaming, Very well built
No Cloud-based access to settings, Aggressive look may alienate some, Inevitable price premium

Has an iconic design, Still performs really well, Will work with both WiFi 5 and WiFi 6 client devices, It supports AiMesh
Doesn't have some of the latest features that newer Asus routers do, Still a bit expensive considering its age, Gets a bit hot

Super easy to use, decent set of features,
Below average throughput, somewhat expensive
Overall, the ASUS RT-AC68U is a decent router. It's not amazing, but it isn't awful either. We don't really recommend it, favoring the slightly cheaper models that perform identically overall, but the ASUS might be a solid choice if you are shopping in it...
I really like the overall premise of AiMesh - the idea that you should be able to add more routers to the router you already have and like, instead of needing to chuck it out and invest in a completely different mesh kit.If you've currently got one AiMesh...
