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

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. Never again will I enable that stuff — supposedly those Ai utilities have known insecurities. Never again, not worth it! I knew it was hacked

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

I have Mullvad on my router with a kill switch built into the router. I am currently using a Asus RT-AX86U Pro with Merlin firmware. But TBH if I was to buy a router again it would be the Flint 2 open source firmware router by GL.iNet. Are you using Apple or Android phone?

I bought a TUF BE3600 2 weeks ago and pretty happy with its performance based on its price, I have a 500mbps fttp at home, it can reach the whole house, and can get around 250-300 speed at the far end. Last week I bought a BE86u as I have seen so many compliment on AX86U, double the price than be360

The way to maximize speed or maximize the Internet connection would be to use the GT-BE98 with the 10Gbs WAN connection going to the 5gbs Modem (assuming the 10Gbs port will negotiate downward to 5Gbs). You'd then connect the RT-AX86 to one of the 2.5Gbs LAN ports. If you want a device to actually u

Yeah I’m not really looking for a mesh system, and while the RT-AX86U seems alright, I can’t find it in stock anywhere locally. I’ve also heard it might stop getting active firmware updates soon as it’s pretty old. I’m kinda looking to upgrade my setup, not just with Wi-Fi 6, but also maybe 6E and 2

Asus routers are good but there's a lot of firmware issues. I had ax86u pro and sold it off just because every update broke something. I would probably recommend you flint but if u want asus buy it and just use most stable firmware and don't upgrade

Yeah - with SQM you should get it down to almost nothing... Interestingly I had an Asus RT-AX86U before and with that router even on wired the upload bufferbloat looked as bad as your wireless picture shows... For me the real world difference up and down is that I can now hold a VoIP call, video cha

I wholeheartedly second that notion. I came over from a Asus RT-AX86U at the beginning of April and am blown away by how much better the Flint 2 is. I have 1Gig Fiber delivered over the 2.5Gb port (provisioned at around 995/985) and am getting full throughput with very low buffer bloat. Day and nigh
