It's a cool looking router with a big, blue-rimmed hole in the middle. It has lots of speed, features and security for an affordable price. The menu and app give you as much control over your network as you want...

None I can think of,
I can't fault the Asus Blue Cave router. It looks great in any decor and its super easy to set up. I thought it was going to be just an ordinary router that offers AC2600 speed, but it turned out to much more. There's 3 modes of operation, wifi router, ac...
