    Asus RT-AX86U vs RT-AC86U - Battle of the Best AC WiFi 5 & AX WiFi 6 Router - Worth the Upgrade?

    The AC version had a ton of problems with the Wi-Fi crapping out, despite a bunch of people always replying to such saying “it works fine for me”. It’s an actual issue with 100s of complaints about it on every forum discussing it. Is the AX version any better in terms of this issue?

    How bad are the AC86U 2.4Ghz issues?

    The issues are very bad. People are more likely to write a review to complain than to praise, but with Merlin etc these routers have a HUGE following so discussion comes in all forms. Despite that, anywhere you look will be littered with complaints about the WiFi issue, and then a bunch of...

    [ASUS RT-AC85P] - Any information?

    That is exactly why i asked. I have seen waaaay more threads and comments about problems with RT-AC86U and its hard to tell if it's just because it's more current or if it actually has more problems. One common one seems to be about the 5GHz WiFi dropping all the time. I would like to hear from...

    [ASUS RT-AC85P] - Any information?

    Thanks for clearing that up! Definitely not one to buy then eh... I was thinking about buying RT-AC68U but it seems to be coming very close to being EOL. Is RT-AC86U better in every way?
