Thanks for the video. I bought my ASUS (ZenWifi AX Mini) as it was in my price-point and 'included' trend micro protection I recognized from other ASUS routers I have owned. Unfortunately it isn't a FULL version (on this specific router) so not all the features you reviewed were available. Not an issue with your review - that was great - just a note to folks who might experience a slightly different trend micro product in their ASUS router.

I’ve been learning so much from you.❤. Thx God bless. I love ASUS and appreciate your security details too. My identity was stolen last year on the 30 day of this month. Takes a long time to fix .

I love the fact you help us all out

Thank you for explaining in easy to understand language. Cheers from Australia.

This is AWESOME!!! Thank you and keep up the good work

I just recently got Asus ROG GT6 gaming routers. They have AI protection and Vpn also. So far it has been a decent setup.

Thanks, really like your stuff! I have a mesh network right now to cover my house and for service in the yard. Am I able to layer the mesh devices on top of one of these routers to get the coverage along with the security benefits you discuss here?

Thanks for the tips! I just purchased the ASUS RT-AX3000 and the first thing I did was to enable AiProtection and updated the firmware.

Proud of you!!!

Best part of Asus is how friendly they are for VPNs, they use chipsets that are designed to specifically handle the whole home encryption/decryption from having VPN loaded on router directly. With a 200mbps plan I was getting over 150mbps while using a mainstream VPN service, rly not all that bad. Asus really does tech well, and has for more than a 15 minutes of fame, they're in it for the long haul!

Yes... You are right my friend I have been using Asus Ax1100pro with all those goodies😊

@@LironSegev zen router, 2 computers, 2 other routers. Watching that last video made me happy I got the Zen and not just a luxury buy.

It is also important to lock down the router config to only "allow" the MAC addresses of the computers you are using. This is referred to MAC filtering or an access list.

Great video and explanations. Does these routers provide a hard wired direct connection? and can the wi-portion be turned off and on easily, say via button on the actual router? Thanks for your input in advance. If these 2 routers dont offer what I am asking you about, what would be your recommendation for mostly wired connection and occasional wi-fi usage? I have 1200 sq feet home. 2 story. Ok these are way too pricey for me needs, Can you please recommend one that supports one connection from the modem to the router, then 4 ports that I can use wired connections to that, and one that has a wi fi option that I can turn on and off as needed with a button on the actual router?

In Australia was can only dream of those speeds.

Do you suggest a Broadband Modem (i'm on Fibre Broadband (VDSL)) to go with this 'MESH WiFi' system or would you just use the Modem part of the free Modem/Router my ISP sent me and just tell it not to give out the IP addresses and leave that to the Asus Router/s ?

Why do ISPs who provide routers only allow router adjustments through their app that you have to put on your phone instead of also allowing you to do it over your home PC? I don't trust that. They want to know your phone and what you do with it.

I like the Asus mesh router - I went out and got a pair recently. However, it doesn't log the Ai Protection events. Even though I went to a test site and did get the warnings as they occurred, there was nothing logged, even hours later. So this worries me because I'm not sure I can trust it very much if a simple think like logging events isn't being done.. Am I missing something?

Can you please let me know when this unit will be available in Australia for Australians? I'd like to give you my email address but obviously its too public a forum to do so. I really hope this will be available here really soon. I can't express how disappointed I am about this because I'm an old bat & have trouble trying to keep myself safe on the net.

There are discrepancies in your speed tests. 06:19 Speed test: WiFi Signal has full bars. 06:20 Speed test: WiFi Signal has still full bars. 06:21 Speed test: WiFi Signal has decreased to 3 bars.
