About this deal

By the look, most of us can’t distinguish the RT-AX86S from the RT-AX86U, and it’s even harder to tell the RT-AX86U vs RT-AX86U Pro apart. I haven’t tried the S (and generally I don’t recommend the stripped-down version), Damon. So, I’d say go with the TUF-AX5400— I liked it. But, I guess you can get whichever is less expensive, they are likely very similar. Reply The Wi-Fi 6 standard's first router became available in early 2019, and since then, I've reviewed dozens of them, but only those I'd use for myself make it here. And I've been updating this post regularly. We tried wiring ethernet by taping it to the ceiling or walls and the paint came off. We also tried on the ground and 2 of the family members tripped on it because of the open space plans.

Great. Thanks. So could I use two Asus RT-AX3000 and set them up in mesh, with a wired link between the two? Seems much more economical that some of the other mesh systems I am seeing. Reply Hi, ive been using the RT-AC86U for the past few years and generally happy with it. Was thinking of upgrading to a wifi 6 router, but since my internet plan is only 300mbps am looking more for connection stability and range rather than speed. Would changing my router to AX86S or TUF AX5400 be an upgrade (or any others you would recommend) or should i keep using my current router until i can afford the AX86U? thanks Reply Best Wi-Fi 6 Routers: Sustained Wi-Fi speeds when hosting a 5GHz Wi-Fi 6 client.

I assume you’re doing all wireless, Houtan. In that case, go with the Orbi AX4200 or Velop MX4200. Make sure you use the star topology. If you have wired your home, then go with a dual-band setup, I’d recommend the Asus XD4. Don’t bother with Wi-Fi 6E. Reply Running Synology Router Manager (SRM) operating system, this new router is the most comprehensive and can work as an excellent mini NAS server. What’s more, the RT-AX86U has much more powerful processing power, running a quad-core CPU and double the amount of RAM. That sure will translate into better performance and responsiveness.

It’s hard to know, Mutoo. Your issue might be Internet-related and not necessarily Wi-Fi — they are two different things. But upgrading to Wi-Fi 6 won’t hurt in your case. It’s best to run network cables, though. Reply Would one or two more RT-AX86S do the job or would RT-AX86U Pro be better for main router? Also I imagine the current extender would do just fine in the basement for now? roaming, even non-experts can set it up with any AiMesh-capable routers you own.
