    Release ASUS RT-AC86U 3.0.0.4.386.45956 2021/11/25

    I mixed up FW of gt2900 with AC86u. They are different and hence different MD5 code

    Release ASUS RT-AC86U 3.0.0.4.386.45956 2021/11/25

    My bad, I have the GT-2900 so was comparing to that fw for it. Both FW have the same exact FW numbers but different file sizes and MD5 codes.

    Release ASUS RT-AC86U 3.0.0.4.386.45956 2021/11/25

    MD5 code should be MD5:a4dfc8320250d21469c5ab1d8a5cac80

    Should I get the ASUS RT-AC86U or GT-AC2900

    OK my bad, I thought it supported since it was Wifi6. With QoS completely off I am able to get peak throughput hitting 550Mbps about 15 ft away. hitting mid 400Mbps up to 30ft away. For 1gb fiver QoS should not be used. Good only for up to 300Mbps connections

    Should I get the ASUS RT-AC86U or GT-AC2900

    Thanks, I used Galaxy S10 which supports Wifi6 and 160Mhz bandwidth but I am not sure if I had selected DFS channels which are available in my area. I will give it a try but for practical purposes since range is reduced it is not really practical option except for testing purposes in a home setting.

    Should I get the ASUS RT-AC86U or GT-AC2900

    I just found that hardwired connection I am only getting about 400Mbps down and 380Mbps up with GT-AC2900. Has anyone with GT-AC2900? I used my 5 year old tplink router and got 927Mbps so it was not cable etc. Same laptop just swapped the routers? Is there a setting that needs to changed...

    Should I get the ASUS RT-AC86U or GT-AC2900

    Where did you get this info? Both on GT and RT on the Asus websites states to have 4x4 and 3x3 configs for the 5 and 2.4 bands In fact GT supports 160Ghz bandwidth but in practice I have not seen any benefit even from 10 feet away on my phone or laptop connection speed.

    Should I get the ASUS RT-AC86U or GT-AC2900

    I have fiber so I am looking to justice to the speed and looking for a router that can deliver over 500Mbps over 5Ghz. I do not see wide usage of AX in next couple of years so AX86 is an overkill, not to mention more expensive. That being said if it goes on sale for under $200 it will be a very...

    Should I get the ASUS RT-AC86U or GT-AC2900

    I have 1gig fiber so that was one reason to upgrade so I can take full benefit. I had a TPlink C9 (AC1900) which was giving me similar speed (400Mbs from 15 feet) and the GTAC2900 gives my around 450Mbs so slightly better. 2.4Ghz on GT AC2900 is quite slow. Highest I have been able to get to is...

    Should I get the ASUS RT-AC86U or GT-AC2900

    I bought GT-AC2900 couple of weeks ago over AC86U because it was released last year compared to AC86u which is almost 3 years old now. I am not very impressed as the max 5Gz speed I can get using my s10 phone is about 450Mb. Yes there are some gaming features which set it apart but I do not use...
