RT-AX86U

I have built a 5-node mesh system with those Asus routers (RT-68U + RT-AC66U B1 + RT-AX86U) for my house, garage and guest house, works great!. Bought them all for around 25€ per unit on Facebook Marketplace :-)

Bad advice. Asus routers are actually amazing products, and enhancing it with merlin firmware make it the best routers you can buy, in my humble opinion. I've only ever had 2 Asus routers, one i bought in 2013 (AC68U), which lasted until they discontinued it in March 2024. And I bought the replaceme

I've had to replace the ASUS RT-AX86U Pro (AX5700) Dual Band WiFi 6 Extendable Gaming Router twice at one location for odd behavior that I couldn't get rid of after being used for a few months. It was being used strictly as an Wifi AP behind a different brand firewall but it wouldn't let any of the

My Asus RT-AX86U was hacked by some sort of malware last year (seems to have been the "Kadnap botnet"), because I had AiCloud, AiDisk, DDNS, and SSH enabled.

I bought the Asus RT-AX86U pro on JD. I installed Astrill vpn on it. Still has an applet. I’m not really tech savvy but can follow directions. It took me a couple of hours. It works well at steaming almost anything I throw at it.

Asus RT-AX86U Pro. There are better ones out now that will do a better job. I got this on a black Friday deal

Asus RT-AX86U pro. I switched from an orbi system back to this single router and it has been great so far. It can either be plug n play or you can tinker with some settings to personalize it. I had an asus router in the past that I didn’t like, but I gave them another try after reading reviews on Do

WiFi 6 is still the best value right now. Its fast, stable, and handles lots of devices well. WiFi 7 is good but kinda overkill unless you’ve got top-tier internet. Good real-world options: ASUS RT-AX86U → great for gaming + stability TP-Link Archer AX55/AX73 → best budget-performance balance TP-Lin
