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 have an RT-AX86U Pro with Merlin firmware - https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/ - haven't gotten any type of pop up like that. Currently running 3.0.0.6.102_7_0 Merlin takes the existing firmware and gives it amazing tweaks. Super easy to flash. Been running Merlin firmware for over a decade with my oth

I'm loving my Wifi6 Asus RT-AX86U. The signal is strong across the entire house (where I used to need multiple access points) and I can use all the bandwidth of my new 500/50 plan almost everywhere.

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. 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

I will add this for context. I have an RT-AX86u pro router. I also set the 2.4 ghz bandwidth to 20. This is my setup. It is slightly different than the OP’s. I have 5 cameras and have never had drop out problems. I usually have 70+ devices connected at any given time. I think disabling roaming assis

When I got Greenlight four years ago you had to buy your own router. I bought a Asus RT-AX86U and nearly choked on the price, But it has been worth the money. It has been very reliable, can handle the speed, has great WiFi range and has lots of really useful features that cheaper routers don’t have.

I still have this in my 'box o tech' in the attic that I haven't tossed yet. It was a good one. The Asus RT-AX86U Pro is a wifi 6e router with mesh capability that I can personally recommend.
