My Asus 87u router crapped out. Second Asus router I've had, kind of got fed up with Asus and paying $$$ for stuff that only lasted 2-3 years. I have a large home and the Asus did not reach all areas well had to use a repeater to get to some areas. Did a fair amount of research and read a...

I've got a RT-AC87u set up as my main router. I have a large home and had a relativly weak signal in my family room that servers my Fire Stick 4K. I added an old Asus rt-n53 router set in Access Point mode that is hard wired.. If I use the speed test app on the fire stick the 5g on my 87u...
