Hi everyone,
I have now two rt-ac66u, one as a main router, second as AP (connected with cable).
They work fine (except problem with guest network on AP - it has connection to local network because of design of guest networks on asus routers), but I need to buy new one, to cover second floor (very, very old house, with strange materials inside, so 2 does not cover everything).
So i am thinking about buying something completely new to change my main router and use both 66U as AP (or if there will be stronger signal, new device + 66u as AP, second 66u as media bridge[network card for some cable devices]). I thought about RT-AC87U, but I found a lot of threads that there are many problems with 5GHz (I am using 2,4 and 5ghz). Is it true still with current Merlin Firmware? RT-AC88U i probably too expensive (in my country all such things are more expensive than price in $).
I need VPN, probably will use VLAN tagging in future to resolve problems with guest networks. Now I have about 14-18 (sometimes more when have guests) wifi devices, I need 1080p streaming, exchanging sometimes a lot of files with NAS, parental control.
My WAN connection is 150/30mbit
Any Ideas? 87U? 88U is worth of that? Maybe something other?
