RT-AX86U

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

You'd then connect the RT-AX86 to one of the 2.5Gbs LAN ports. If you want a device to actually u

How many devices are you running through it. Currently I have RT-AX86U Pro, and it sometimes struggles with encrypted VPN connections, meaning CPU overload.

Depends how much you want to spend, what speed you're looking for, what your usage is like, what features you want, how big your house is, etc. First, almost any router with a gigabit WAN port and wifi 6 or higher is going to be on par or better than the one Verizon rents out. My last two routers we

826 down and 131 up on a speed test from your device? I think it's an Asus problem. I had the same problem. I switched to Ubiquiti and upload is consistently 800+, download 900+. For reference I had the RT-AX86U Pro. I switched to the Dream Router 7.
