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.

Great, with some annoying side effects. After connecting to instant guard, the wifi at home will basically lose connection to the internet, even though the SSID is still being broadcasted. LAN ports still work so internet isn't fully interrupted, only wifi is no longer usable. The only fix so far is to restart the router and that is a bit annoying to do everytime you use instant guard.

Really cool, but with 1 vulnerability (-2 stars for it). I really wish I didn't have to download the management software and login as the admin for it to work. It would be okay if it was just my stuff, but other household members use it, and I am constantly fixing their computers from their downloads and browsing habits. I can only imagine what they do on their phones... (+1 star for OVPN a work around.)
