Yes and no, depends. As with a new one find and read the reviews. Usually there was a reason so many ended up refurbished find out why, is the issue fixed? Could have been a bad firmware update that bricked a bunch of them. Perfectly good hardware. A fixed firmware and good as new other than the typical 90 day warranty. I usually buy refurbed routers due to the big discount. If from a reputable source no prob if its going to die again it will normally happen within 90 days. This one lacks the AI Mesh capability. Nice thing about Asus routers is many of their older units can be upgraded to AI Mesh for free with a firmware update. So personally I would pass on this one but to each their own..
