Really useful for being able to access PC's on my home network without having to have open ports exposed on the Web. Easy and convenient to set up. Have a few issues where if I haven't used my phone for a while the van will disconnect but get stuck in a loop, my phone won't have Internet till I've force closed the app and restarted.

Streaming videos, TikTok, or music can crash the router (RT-AX86U). To reproduce the problem you can run a simple speed test from a device with Instant Guard (may take a few tries) you'll notice the speed dripping slowly. Eventually your connection to the router will drop as the router reboots. When Instant Guard reconnects again it's extremely slow, you have to turn it off. I contacted Asus support the router. Last I heard they seem to understand the issue. No indication if they'll fix it.

I bought an Asus router specifically for the instant guard feature. The router app itself is fine, but once instant guard is involved, everything hits the fan. The most common error is "operation failed," with no hint as to what the problem is. Don't buy Asus routers specifically for this feature, otherwise they are fantastic in most other aspects.
