    [Asus RT-AX88U] Experiences & Discussion

    Can i just thank everyone for their input. I went with the AC86U over the AX88U and im delighted. The range is magnificent for the 5G band ime getting 215mb throughout the flat now. All i got to work out now is how to put my NordVPN on it and enable what devices use the VPN or the WAN
