    Good enough for a dorm room or small apartment.
    I really like the Asus routers. I come from a networking background and for the longest secured my house with professional Cisco products. About 2015 I went with the Asus AC68 and have loved it’s features, security and ease of configuration in multiple ways. When it came time to get my son a router for his dorm room this was a no brainer. Netgear, d-link, and the other consumer grade routers have so many security issues that are slow to be patched. OpenVPN configurations are really nice. I give it 4 stars only because it lacks some features on the more expensive routers I feel like the router could have handled like the TrendMicro suite and the security review (which actually be a Merlin firmware function) and there is no Merlin firmware for it.If you can spend the extra $20 I would upgrade to the ACRH1300 (a lot more features) but still a great deal for the price.
