    I have an ASUS RT-AC5300 and it isn't giving me good range in my new house, I also got tired of its flimsy antennas that never stay in place. So I bought the Linksys EA9500 today, the range didn't improve much but I notice the speed is a bit higher, even browsing webpages, the loading of webpages is instantaneous without that slight lag before the page would start loading like I had with the ASUS RT-AC5300

    I have a 100Mb/S connection and with the ASUS RT-AC5300, I was getting around 78MBPS on speedtest.net, now I am getting 91MBPS, not that the router is necessarily a better one, but maybe it has a bit stronger range

    I will keep using this for the next few days and give you more feedback.

    PS: The day has finally come when I remove everything with the brand name ASUS from my household..... can't stand their loe quality products
