Regarding WMM No-Acknowledgement my opinion is very negative. Although i have 0 interference in my house it introduced problems when i enabled it so my suggestion is to keep it disabled.

I am on latest Merlin. I had issues with the factory firmware the router had when purchased, any other firmware i tried was fine. Sorry if it was allready mentioned but is Enable WMM No-Acknowledgement disabled on your router?

My latency with Intel AX200 (both PC) is always 1-2ms with most of my routers including 3 Asus ones. Screenshot is from pinging AX88U on next room (5Ghz 80Mhz connection but same results with 160Mhz), distance is 7-8 meters and no direct line of sight for two devices. Eset firewall enabled on...

You are right about the OP not needing any Asus features since he already has a router. If EAP610 fits his needs it was surely the smart choice. Buying an Asus router that cost the double could interest some people who need faster speeds at distant rooms and security updates. In Europe 4X4...

I think all my routers and APs have the same power limit that depends on frequency range because of EU laws (thats why some people here buy routers with chinese firmware so they have more power). That doesn't mean they have the same range when keeping max speed. I personally use the extra...

Everything you say apply to my workplace too but in my opinion it is different in houses, both the requirements and the budget. Often in houses there are hard to reach rooms and outdoor places that is extremely costly to run cables to. Also there are very limited places to place APs/routers so...

I just searched online and the tplinks where indeed old, some of them where released at 2017. Although i have recently bought many tplink routers for my rental apartments i have never bought an expensive one to make an equal comparison. Compared to my Chateau AX and Fritz AX, Asus has better...

I replaced my 5 year old AC tplink APs that i was managing with Omada Controller with Asus routers (AX88U / 2 AX86S) with AI Mesh enabled. Asus routers have uncomparable range and speed and really have seamless roaming, in my experience its not just a marketing term. I can run from the top...

Alpha builds are working better for me than the previous stable ones. I have less bufferbloat now using traditional QoS + fq_codel although i am not sure that's because of the new firmware and not my ISP. Also some problems i had with DNS over TLS seem to be solved, not 100% sure yet because it...

Thank you for the info but i don't really think i will need an extender and i also think those offers are only in US (70 euro delivery cost + customs fees for Greece).

I changed my AC-86U order to AX88U, i had to pay only 45 euro more due to bf offers and coupons. If i am not satisfied i can always return it.

Thank you very much for your help, I just ordered the AC-86U after comparing the spec's and considering your advice.

Thank you! Well i can't have a cable running through the house, bad for my marriage :-).

RT-AC86U cost 190 euro in my country (Greece), R7800 170 euro, R8000 18o euro, i think the prices are not the normal ones, is the AC86U worth the extra euro;

Thank you i will consider getting a RT-AC86U. I had ethernet wire installed on most rooms of my house except the one i am forced to have my pc now. When i told my wife that i will put another cable and repaint she refused because she doesn't want the baby to smell the paint, it is also winter...
