Interface: Parental Control and Scheduling
Connectivity is one side of the story, the other side is control. ASUSWRT comes with several useful features in this area.
Parental Control
The parental control can be used for a lot more than just keeping your kids in line and safe while they surf the internet. You can also use it to keep your own bed times and a lot more.
The system works very simply: You set the hours during the week where a system has access to the internet.
Firewall
The firewall is more general coverage. It isn’t extremely advanced, but it covers all the basics and includes functions such as the network service filter that can block connections to specific ports.
The basic firewall features include a Denial of Service (DoS) protection and the ability to reply to WAN ping requests.
The URL filter can block specific web pages or web sites with specific keywords.
great review , would have like to have seen some elements on its dsl connectivity and performance as the dsl-ac88u is aimed at the dsl market as otherwise you would buy the rt-ac3100 which would pretty much give you the same performance
being broadcom based modem the theory is it should be stable and perform well on poor dsl lines but im guessing only time in the wild will confirm this or not
cheers

Yes, that’s true. Unfortunately, DSL is a thing that’s history where I live and Fibre has become the norm.
However, from what I’ve heard, it does deliver a more stable DSL connection than other routers. It does feature the latest technology in the field, so it’s a fair assumption.
This was indeed a great review. I was looking to purchase a reliable router and I think this would easily suit all my requirements.
