    Asus AC88U vs Netgear R8500 (nighthawk x8)

    I agree with Rossmon's price statement, the Asus should be $100+ less than the Netgear. If you don't have a lot of 5Ghz devices in your Flat, and don't see the number of 5Ghz devices increasing over the next few years, save the $ and forget the additional 5Ghz band. The Asus has more stock...
