On paper, the specs look great, and is a better value than other WiFi 7 routers. Plus, Asus has free protection, etc. and a good reputation. And the "expert" review (dongknowstech) said it was good.
I bought it for $183 (15% off $219 for an old router trade in, + $5 member certificate at BestBuy) and tried it for 2 weeks. It was problem after problem (disconnects, thermal errors, core spikes, unstable speed). The forums are full of frustrated users with these problems. I tried a second unit (good value, worth a shot) and had the same issues. Replaced it with another brand wifi 7 router and it has been reliable with a stronger signal (it's a TP-Link unit, not everyone may buy with the ban threats)
Here's [asus.com]10 pages of frustrated posts on one thread alone. . There are other threads
Maybe a firmware issue will fix this in the future, but it's not worth it for now. I'm hoping Asus will fix it and it'll be a good choice in the future.
Plus it has been this price for a few weeks now, so I'm guessing it'll be available at this price in the future.

Updated firmware (v3.0.0.6.102_37435) immediately due to widespread stability issue reports, set up 6ghz, 5ghz and 2.4ghz networks to connect work PC, mobile devices and IoT devices, respectively. Easy to setup, easy to update firmware, reports are its rock solid
Wifi 7 6ghz range feels mediocre (vs 5ghz Wifi 6) but I couldn't say if that is the router or the nature of a higher bandwidth wireless connection

I'm currently using a TP-link Deco XE75 pro with at least 45 wifi devices. My internet link is 2Gbps / 350mbps (Comcast)
The max downloads I've gotten on my Samsung S22U is 1.6Gbps and that's within 3 feet away from the AP. I usually get up to 600 Mbps around the house

People don't seem to realize that while some devices allow you to run both simultaneously, you really shouldn't.
Even trying to hotspot with 6Ghz on a mobile device informs you that it's going to turn off other radios to accomplish it.
If you need to support 2.4Ghz, 5Ghz, and 6Ghz simultaneously, you're better off running two or even three routers.
