My good old AC86U had its 2.4GHz radio die this week after 3 years in service, which I understand is common failure mode for these models. Loved the performance of that radio, but seems fairly obsolete for the price it still demands when even available. After bunch of research I decided on...

Does anyone have an RT-AC86U anymore?

As I understand it, your desire is to setup two local IP subnets, one for child's gaming activity (let's call it "gaming subnet") and another for everything else (let's call it "main subnet"), with both subnets sharing a NAT gateway to single WAN connection. Plus, you'd like to setup separate...

You might also look at this recent thread(s), where @zeiphon found a setting that impacted downstream throughput on DSL-AC86U, and seemed to impact download speeds ("enable 802.11Q") for just a laptop. Your issue sounds similar. Oh Nice, zeiphon just replied on this thread too! Also you should...

Thanks for sharing, I have also been struggling with what impacts my RT-AC86U throughput, but different circumstances. Always helpful to see what settings others find that impacts throughput. Just some thoughts.... I wonder if 802.11Q VLAN or 802.11p (PCP priority bits) are somehow enabled...
