Added this RT-AX86U to my existing RT-AX88U to create an AiMesh system. ASUS AiMesh is now on version 2.0 and it works much better than version 1. My AiMesh is configured with the RT-AX88U connecting to the cable modem and the RT-AX86U is a node using a wireless WiFi 6 backhaul. I know a wired backhaul would be better, but I am not able to run that cable. However, since my internet connection is only 200 down 10 up, I think the wireless backhaul is NOT being overloaded. I get the same speedtest benchmarks regardless if my laptop WiFi connection is to the RT-AX88U or to the RT-AX86U. IMHO the RT-AX86U is the best consumer grade wireless router available right now. For me, it's only weak point is that it only has four LAN ports, but an inexpensive switch would fix that. Also, the ASUS-Merlin firmware has just become available for the RT-AX86U. Having that firmware installed makes both routers and AiMesh even better.Read full review

great wifi range speed. Have 1.2gps circuit at home, and can access the full speed via the 2.5g ethernet port. Asus-WRT firmware is great, and the merlin firmware that you can download makes this router even better! Several options, but even just using it as a basic wifi router, will deliver great results.

Great ASUS WiFi6 router, great coverage, great performance. I have it installed as part of a 3-way mesh covering a 3 story house of 4K soft serving 35 devices 18 wired, 17 wireless. I get over 750 Mbps on my wireless devices (WiFi6) from my Gbit service from Comcast. Color me Ok with that.

This router is great piece of kit for setting up a secure network. I use the child features to protect my boys from the nasties that the internet can off. Also the mesh is simple to get working.
