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.

At one point this app was working great back in the summer time. I don't know if there was an update after that broke it some how, but it's starting to be pointless using it now. When I connect, it states you are protected, but I have no internet when I'm away. I know I set it up correctly on both the router and app. Until they do something about it, I configured my own Wireguard VPN connection, which is working flawlessly. I had high hopes with Asus, I hope they are not letting us down now.

It works fine lately. I really wish it would automatically turn on and off whenever it's connected to the home router or away from it. It seems to bog down when it's active and connected to the router. It also uses allot of phone battery when active. Streaming services also have a hard time sometimes when it's active. That could partially be due to the DNS setup of the router but locally connected Wi-Fi streaming devices seem to work correctly through the same router.
