Yes, they do. I have one and it's been excellent — I run over 350+ IoT devices and work from home, and this router handles everything perfectly. I'm very happy with it. That said, it's a high-end router with a premium price tag, so it's not necessary for everyone. But if you can afford it, it's a great choice.

I am going to double down on your claim that this is a great router. Rather than dispute you and argue with you like the trolls whom lurk on here about how this is overkill and bitch about the price.

Yes, this is the top end one to have if you could swing it - I have two of these and 2 BQ16 Pros all wired backhauled. If you're unsure on where to start, dongknows.com is an excellent resource for home networking.

I really need a new router because my old Asus AC5300 is such a POS.

This thing has holes all over it. Ubiquiti has aps meant for outdoors.

First off this is an amazing overall router but the top performance if 6Ghz is concerned is the RS700 from netgear. This router is a solid tie for 2nd place, cause the BE85 from Tp-Link has better 5ghz speeds, while this has better 6ghz speeds but slower 5ghz which is more common. Which is why I would say if you want 6GHZ get it, if you want better 5ghz the BE95 has been on sale for much cheaper. Overall this router has been out for over 1.5 years so the firmware has had plenty of time to cook and fix all the bugs, so it should be super stable.

No, you would want an outdoor rated AP, like this beast for a meer $232 if you are looking for the best of the best. It even has AFC which is rare in a lot of AP's, unless they are Cisco AP's which are the only other company that I am currently aware with the ability. AFC lets you increase the broadcasting power of the 6Ghz band to get coverage as good as 5Ghz.

I bought one of these shortly after they released and it was AMAZING. I say "was" because a couple months into owning it lightning struck a HUGE tree outside the front of my house which sent a shockwave through my house and fried this thing. (among some other electrical items). I sent back to Asus as an RMA and they approved it... shipped me a replacement unit which mysteriously vanished before it could leave the state of California. Opened a case and they approved it but had "no more stock" so they refunded me the original cost instead. Which i used to pay some other bills so i no longer own this router. Sigh.
