ASUS Router 4+

Great product

For years I have paid for the fastest internet speeds from my provider. During these years my equipment never allowed me to maximize the experience I was paying for. I was paying a lot and just scratching the surface of performance. I tried switching internet service providers, upgrading modems, Wi-Fi extenders, moving the modem and trying LAN connections nothing worked well throughout the entire house. Finally I bought the Asus Zen Wi-Fi mesh system with three nodes. I am getting the best speeds I have ever seen and the experience remains the same throughout the entire house and all the way to the back fence of the property. Before it was painful trying to stream movies or music by our pool, now it works perfectly with no lag, no buffering, no connectivity issues. We are very happy to have made the switch to the mesh Asus Zen Wi-Fi system. It set up quick and easy. It was up working reliably in no time at all. Well worth the cost which is still significantly cheaper than the Orbi; the other mesh Wi-Fi system I was considering. Absolutely no regrets. It’s simple to install, reliable, fast and powerful.

Awesome app; parental controls request...

First off - This app works great! I am able to monitor my network from anywhere: home, work, the gym, etc. it also gives visibility to the new AiMesh features and shows which devices are connected to the mesh nodes and which are connected to the main router. The parental controls “family” feature allows me to group a kid’s devices and enable/disable network access with one action. I can also setup schedules for each device or group of devices.
Now for the feature request: In the Family feature, I would like to have the ability to override the schedule and enable/disable internet for a kid without erasing the existing schedules for those devices. It would work kind of like my thermostat- when I come home early I can turn up the heat manually but then the schedule still is in operation and will set the temp back at night. Also, it would be nice to be able to enable internet for a kid for a set time period. I.e. A two hour block.
Anyway, this is a great app and leads the industry. Keep up the great work!

New design is poor/buggy

Since the design update for this app, which I think was intended to make aiMesh more prevalent, I have reduced my rating from for stars to one star. The changes make it difficult to locate familiar features since many of them are just icons with no text. It took me at least 15 minutes to find the features I used the most in the old app like reboot which is now well hidden. In addition I cannot see the RAM/CPU utilization in one nice display on the main screen, you are now forced to go through a series of menus to get to a CPU or RAM use displays but no combined display like the app offered previously. Moving between the CPU/RAM/Home screens is now very cumbersome,. In the old design I could reboot and then quickly and easily monitor my devices, CPU, and RAM utilization? The new app makes this difficult and it seems like there is a bug in the connected devices count because I have to switch between screens to get an updated count.

Considering these issues that most affected my app use plus several others that I haven't mentioned my opinion is this new UI is far worse than the old one. If they could just fix the connected devices but and put a way to see the old style combined CPU/RAM display back on the main screen it would raise my star rating to near four stars.
