Don’t expect too much from Wi-Fi 6E, Doug. It’ll be the same as a 160MHz 5GHz Wi-Fi 6 connection in terms of speed. The only difference is you can get that type of connection easier, but likely at a shorter range. More here. Reply

Reply The Pro uses a different CPU – BCM4912 vs the 4908 of the non-pro. It also uses a different radio chip for 5Ghz – BCM6715 for the pro vs the BCM43684 for the non-pro. Supposedly, these should result in a slight performance improvement. Reply PS. I read all the articles, I just have information overload at the moment. Hopefully things will make sense to me soon. Reply internet bandwidth can then be shared via WiFi 6 or via the 2.5 Gbps wired network port*. For extra The Asus RT-AX82U is almost identical to the RT-AX86U above in performance and features. "Almost" because it's a lesser option with less processing power and no multi-gig network port.I’ve always considered myself technology savvy but networking always scares me with all of the weird vendor-specific terms for the same thing and makes me wondering if routers from two different vendors would play well together. This takes me to my conundrum: In mid-August 2020, I published an in-depth review of the RT-AX86U and called it “arguably the best Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router” for a good reason — the router has been one of the best.

Hi Dong, do you still feel the RT-AC86U is an excellent router? I have been using one for close to a couple of years now and have not noticed any major issues. My primary needs are wired/ethernet for a studio and office in home…secondarily, the wifi… It seems pretty stable. Is the AX86U or anything subsequently released significantly better as far as performance and stability vs the AC86U – especially as far as throughput and robustness of the ISP speeds? ISP speed tests Wifi averages anywhere from 300 to 450 down, and 20-22mbps up and I have Spectrum broadband that is rated to be 500 mpbs (“ultra” plan) – I use port forwarding for audio streaming for a broadcast network which seems pretty stable. Thanks for any thoughts! Mike in Mich. Reply Situation: Everything worked until router died. My house does not have a huge floorarea (maybe 70m2), but on my porch wifi was very bad. Streaming to the ground floor AC87 (TV connected to it via LAN) and 2nd floor Devocol Client (TV attached via LAN) was good.
