I decided to get the cable modem from my provider, since they cover it better, and then go back to a stand alone wireless router.
Because this is an "AC" router I get to take advantage of my 100MBs cable service no problem. Running multiple streams and over 20 different devices at one time has not found any limits yet. Best of all, I get coverage in places that struggled with all my other routers. The 5GHz radio seems much more reliable so far, and easily has double the coverage of the others I have used.
Set-up was straightforward, and I already had a network plan that works for me. I simply used the similar settings, and I was up and running. Using the same network names and passwords meant I did not have to reconfigure any devices on my network. I hope ti lasts, because it has been great so far. No complaints.
Until I get fiber or some other form of Gigabit Ethernet, this should be the last one I buy for many years.
I added this as an Access Point to my network.

Make sure you download the Discovery tool from Asus as you need it set the device up.

I had to plug the wireless router directly into my desktop computer to get the initial setup done.
Then I just set it up where I have my Network switch and plugged the ethernet cable into that hub.
Signal wise, live in a 2400 sqft home. The wireless router is set up in the living room which is actually almost
at one end of the house opposite a den/office. I connected to the 2ghz network, walked upstairs, and then down to the office on the other side with the door closed and still had 5 bars. I get both the 5g and 2g at that distance though.
Speedwise, My internet only get's 20-30 mbps down and about 5-10 up.
On 2G no dropoff in speed at all when going from one end of the house to the other.
5g signal get's weak at that distance though and drops to 10-15 down and 3-5 up
I walked outside also. Experienced more of a dropoff, but still got 2-3 bars about 125 feet from the house
on the 2g.
Excellent signal strength, good user interface, fairly easy setup.
So far it has been superb and at less than 100$ doesn't break the bank. I did a lot of research and wasn't sure one of the $200-300+ Wifi 6 routers was necessary and most didn't have the best reviews both on Amazon and elsewhere. Some of the most purchased/reviewed also seem to have a huge bug where DHCP doesn't work so I would recommend do your research before forking over a couple hundred bucks. I would highly recommend this if you are just looking for a a solid router that works and don't need the glitz of a nighthawk or "cute" looking mesh network devices with limited customizability.
(Side note: My uses include, 24/7 file server with multiple users and large data files, multiple 4k streaming devices and 2-5 computers for high demand gaming/streaming. So far it is handling the load extremely well. I'm also on 1GB/1GB fiber so a high ceiling bandwidth is necessary.)
