RT-BE86U

I just checked SNBforums and found no one else mentioning it. I wouldn’t worry about it. You may want to consider upgrading to Merlin. It tends to be better performing firmware than ASUS official firmware, IMO. All that being said, I’ve been disappointed in my RT-BE86U since I replaced my dying RT-A

No such pop-ups on my two RT-BE86U units; also mine have been rock-solid since installing them last November.

I bought the Asus RT-BE86U; being only dual-band is good enough for me, but it’s a tried-and-true rock-solid router! I really wanted to stick with the Asus brand.

Unifi is excellent, if you have the technical chops to manage it. Else, I went ASUS RT-BE86U for my mom's home setup; rock-solid and 6Ghz wifi wasn't necessary for her. I shyed away from the RT-BE92U, after reading highly erratic reliability reviews - supposedly most of which are resolved, but I'm n

I replaced my ancient AC-68U with an ASUS RT-BE86U and in the mean time, sent it back. Either for repair or for a refund. For a device that is about 12 years newer, it was just awful. It was actually worse than the old Asus router: Many devices often lost the connection (tables, raspis, phones, tvs,

I'm using the 1800s as a node and my main router is the RT-BE86U. I can say that the 1800s is holding up super well as a node. I recommend the ASUS.

I’ve had good luck with ASUS. The app is user friendly with easy access to parental controls. I have a few of them. As I upgraded my main router I just switch the old to wired mesh nodes. What ever you get a dual band , 2.4 and 5ghz, is usually enough. There aren’t a lot of devices that use the 6ghz

u/MKK1001 Depends on your budget.I run a RT-BE86U that's WiFi 7 with Merlin's Firmware. Solid as a rock.

Yeah, usually the router doesn’t help (a lot) with ping, but it can sometimes provide some relief in that department as well. Ping usually has more to do with how far you are from the data centers hosting the game servers you’re connecting to and a bunch of other variables. I currently have a Unifi

I’m rocking an ASUS RT-BE86U (not tri band). It does have Wi-Fi 7 features such as MLO, 4K-QAM, etc, but only has 2.4/5GHz bands. It’s been solid. From my experience with a Unifi UDR7 that had the 6Ghz band, it was flaky at best. I think the ideal set up for 6Ghz is multiple AP’s scattered throughou
