router - fast and easy set up. took longer to reset passcode on other things

MatthewCOct 16, 2026 · Verified purchase ★☆☆☆☆

Have had two both are junk. DO NOT BUY! - First one I had lasted maybe 8 months, got a second one lasted less than 3 months. Not to mention Best Buy refuses to warranty them even though they are the ones who handle the warranty. DO NOT BUY! I won’t be buying anything from Best Buy either after speaking to geek squad being referred to asus then telling them it literally says there is an agreement with Best Buy that you handle the warranty for all 3 years. Then went in store and was told the same thing I showed them and the manager told me to go to asus, I finally called asus and had them on the phone and speak with Best Buy and was told I will escalate this and they will get it then care of. 3 months later no word so I called today for the final time and told them if I resolve this myself I won’t be shopping with Best Buy anymore. The manager apologized and said they would escalate. Well here we are new router ordered and I will have it before I wake up tomorrow thank you Amazon and no thank you Best Buy. I attached a screenshot from ASUS page just to prove how worthless Best Buy support is.
