If you don't need Wifi-6, this is your unit.

This is yet another outstanding ASUS router. I don't need Wifi-6, so I got this model. Set-up was easy. The GUI is classic ASUS with lots of functionality. Download speeds are impressive. I am pleased with this device.

Hardware Crypto Acceleration Makes This a Screamer

For those who are running VPN on their router to tunnel all local network device internet traffic (i.e. smartphones, smart TVs, desktop PCs, laptops, tablets etc) the performance gain due to hardware crypto acceleration is over 500%. Exactly what we were looking for. I highly recommend the use of the Merlin firmware, although the stock isn't shabby.
