Its top speed of 667.8Mbps was achieved with our client at 15 feet, and the Asus is 23 percent faster than the Linksys WRT32X but marginally slower than the TP-Link Archer C2300's 682.3Mbps at the same distance. It moved 636.5Mbps at 5 feet, more than 50 percent less than the Archer C2300's class-leading 963.6Mbps at the same distance. When the Asus RT-AC86U came out, I was impressed by how compact it was considering the powerful internal hardware and that Asus has managed to maintain the same dimensions and the look of the Asus RT-AC68U (it measures 8.6 x 6.3 x 3.2 inches). But then came the Asus RT-AX58U with an even smaller case (measures 8.8 x 5.0 x 6.3 inches), but even so, it does occupy more space from the desk than the RT-AC86U and the reason for that is because the aforementioned router was built to sit vertically. So, just like the RT-AC68U, the RT-AC86U has three antennas pointing upwards and a built-in stand (that cannot be removed) to keep the device in its place, regardless of the number of cables are connected. But, unlike the plain front of the RT-AC68U, the RT-AC86U has an Y shaped front with a couple of red sections which, according to Asus, should qualify it as being a part of the gaming series (of course, there are some gaming-specific feature built into the software as well). Verdict: It’s a bit surprising that there aren’t major differences between the two routers in terms of internal hardware which shows just how well equipped the Rt-AC86U was for its time. But, the Asus RT-AX86U is still an overall improvement in this department as well, so it also wins this round. Features and Performance Those people who work-from-home & learn-from-home will greatly benefit from this new feature with optimized streaming experiences.

Based on a week of testing using Ixia’s ixChariot’s network simulation benchmark in my 100-year old 3,500-square-foot home, the Asus RT-AX86U was equal parts reliable router and gaming companion. At 15-feet, it had a peak throughput of 929.7Mbps. That can’t compare to the Netgear Nighthawk RAX80’s 1.39Gbps maximum output, but it’s 4 percent ahead of the TP-Link AX6000 (888.2Mbps), 7 percent ahead of the Netgear Nighthawk XR1000 (859.1Mbps) and 12 percent faster than Linksys MR9600 (822.0Mbps). We started out sniffing at its looks, and came out gawping at its performance. For its price, and we definitely suggest buying at the lower mark if you can find it, the Asus RT-AC86U cooks up prime wireless performance from a gamer-friendly recipe. There was bandwidth to spare with our informal saturation test where I stress the router by listening to the BBC World Service on an internet radio station while playing a variety of videos and moving data onto and off of a network-attached storage system. The audio and video came through skip free and there was no noticeable lag. Setup Note: Yes, the Asus RT-AC86U is fully supported by Merlin, while the Asus RT-AX58U is currently not, but, considering that it is using the Broadcom platform, I say it’s only a matter of time. Asus RT-AX58UTo test MU-MIMO throughput performance, we use three identical Acer Aspire R13 laptops equipped with Qualcomm's QCA61x4A MU-MIMO circuitry. The Asus RT-AC86U delivered 178Mbps on the close-proximity test, edging past the Linksys WRT32X and the Synology RT2600ac, but not the D-Link DIR-885L/R. At 30 feet, the RT-AC86U garnered 150Mbps, once again besting the Linksys WRT32X and the Synology RT2600ac, but trailing the D-Link DIR-885L/R. Patched several command injection vulnerabilities, CVE-2023-38031, CVE-2023-38032, CVE-2023-38033,CVE-2023-39236,CVE-2023-39237, Thanks to Jincheng Wang from X1cT34m Laboratory of Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications Install/Update ASUS Router App (Android supports later than 1.0.0.5.44; iOS supports later than 1.0.0.5.41)

Thanks to Quentin Kaiser from IoT Inspector Research Lab contribution. In addition to the three screw-on antennas, the RT-AC86U has an internal one buried inside. The external antennas are rated at a modest 3dBi sensitivity, but they can be rotated and swiveled to get the strongest signal or replaced with more powerful ones. None of the antennas are amplified to catch weak signals. Performance At our terminal distance of 90-feet, the RT-AX86U was near its limit, with an average of only 7.4Mbps, barely enough for watching an HD stream. That said, the TP-Link AX6000 couldn’t even maintain a connection at that distance, while the Netgear RAX80 moved 20.8Mbps and the Netgear XR1000 led the way with 75.0Mbps of bandwidth available. The RT-AX86U had a range of 95-feet, 10-feet short of the XR1000.

Furiously Fast. Powerfully Equipped.

Support IPSec IKE v1 and IKE v2, and you can use the Windows 10 native VPN client program to connect to the router's IPSec VPN server. The Windows 10 new FAQ is in https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1033576 That said, the bandwidth available at 50-feet dropped to 285.3Mbps, which was just a hair ahead of the Netgear RAX80’s 271.3Mbps. It was behind the TP-Link AX6000’s 396.7Mbps and the Linksys MR9600’s 363.3Mbps. Actual data throughput and WiFi coverage will vary from network conditions and environmental factors, including the volume of network traffic, building material and construction, and network overhead, result in lower actual data throughput and wireless coverage. Next, the Asus RT-AX58U supports the 1024-QAM technology that has the role of improving the throughput capabilities of the router and I know that this technology is a highlighted feature for the WiFi 6, but Asus has been taking advantage of the NitroQAM (1024-QAM) for a while now and yes, the Asus RT-AC86U does have it implemented as well.

Verdict: Looking at the internal hardware of each router, there are some differences for the WiFi chips and yes, the RT-AX58U has a newer CPU, but it should not perform that differently from the dual-band BCM4906, so this round goes to the Asus RT-AC86U.

Verdict: Despite being limited by the vertical-only position, I did find the Asus RT-AC86U to be more refined than the RT-AX58U and there is just a lot more attention to details design-wise – the removable antennas are also a plus. At the same time, the Asus RT-AX58U is a lot smaller and it does have a neutral look, so it’s easier to go unnoticed in a living-room. Other than that, both routers have the same number of ports (the RT-AC86U does have an additional USB port, although I doubt many will make use of it) and neither overheats, so this round ends in a tie. The Asus RT-AC86U had the WPS and the WiFi On/Off buttons together on the right side, while the RT-AX86U has positioned the WPS button on the left side and the LED On/Off button on the right – everything else can be found on the rear side of the routers. The RT-AC86U has its LED On/Off button in the middle, while the four Gigabit LAN ports lie on the right side and the Gigabit WAN port, the two USB ports (2.0 and 3.0), as well as the Power button and the Power port sit on the left side (there is also a camouflaged Reset button within the cut-out pattern). The ports and connectors on the Asus RT-AX86U feel more relaxed (more space in between them), so you can find the Power button next to the Power port, a small recessed Reset button, two USB ports (both 3.0), four Gigabit LAN ports (from which the first is a Gaming port – will have the highest priority) and there is one WAN port, as well as a 2.5GbE port which can either work as LAN or WAN.

Well, more like out of view because, while the RT-AC86U proudly wears its red stripes on the front panel, the Asus RT-AX86U is a bit shy regarding its gaming abilities (unlike the RT-AX82U which is one of the flashiest ‘gaming’ routers that Asus ever designed), so it has positioned a red plastic section pointing downwards (also doubles down as a ventilation area). The Asus RT-AC86U had the same ventilation cut-outs as RT-AC68U but, due to a far more efficient power handling, the router operated at an adequate temperature (unlike its predecessor) and I noticed that the RT-AX86U is far more generous in terms of vent cut-outs. So, it’s not only the rear section that’s now covered by a weird pattern of longitudinal holes (looks very crowded), but the top part of the front panel will also allow the air to flow inside the case. This way, the Asus RT-AX86U, just like the RT-AC86U always works at a proper temperature, showing no signs that it may overheat. The LEDs are positioned in the same place on both wireless routers and I saw the same four LAN LEDs, the WAN LED, the Power and the two WiFi LEDs, but the RT-AX86U has additional two indicators, one for WPS and the other for the 2.5Gbps port. Note: For anyone that’s interested in the theoretical maximum data transfer rate (which shouldn’t really be used as a reference to real-life performance), know that the Asus RT-AC86U is an AC2900-class router (750Mbps on the 2.4Ghz band and 2,167Mbps on the 5GHz band) and the Asus RT-AX86U is an AX5700-class router (861Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 4,804Mbps on the 5Ghz band).
