This is something I'm looking at doing down the road. Interested in the replies as well.

Hi @RMerlin, Very minor thing. Your first post has "Edit 2-Nov-2017: Uploaded 382.1 Beta 2. Changelog:" which i think you meant to put "Beta 3".

I'm in the same boat. Just bought a AC86u to replace my AC66u. Asus better realize what their stupid decisions are doing. Look at how many people have downloaded the alpha/beta 382. A lot of customers are only customers because of Merlin. They need to have an open dialogue with him and stop...

I am seeing the same in my log and clients also not appearing. or disappearing and reappearing. Doesn't seem to be impacting the clients themselves so far that I've seen.

Go to the Security section of your gmail account: https://myaccount.google.com/security click on "App Passwords" then just fill in the details (use custom) and it'll spit out a password just for that activity.

You don't need to disable 2FA. You just create an application password specifically for AIProtection.

I have it enabled on my AC86u. I can't find the thread, but RMerlin mentioned that it's the same software stack that trendmicro sells on their corporate side. He seemed to think highly of it.

I've never used an AC88u, but based on the below chart, i can't imagine you'd see a significant difference to justify the upgrade. You'd also lose 4 LAN ports.

Yes it has smart connect. But whether you'll see a benefit over the AC68u is entirely based on what you need or do with your router.

FYI, if you're using a VPN, that VPN service has to allow port forwarding for it to work. PIA does, others do not. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

Just picked myself up a AC86u (returned the AC1900p i picked up a week before). Going to put it through its paces before it takes over for my dependable AC66u. @RMerlin Let me know if you need any help testing at any point :)

For my needs. $60 for better, newer specs and the latest generation versus older generation (although stability is a concern) is worth it. I was having trouble justifying the jump to the RT-AC3100. The AC86u strikes the right balance. I'm just a little gun shy being an early adopter.

I'm seeing this in stock in Best Buy Canada for $259.99 CDN. https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/asus-wireless-ac2900-dual-band-gigabit-router-rt-ac86u/11281277.aspx? I just ordered an RT-AC1900R, thinking of cancelling/returning that in favour of this. But, not until Merlin officially...

Just ordered an RT-AC1900P to replace an RT-AC66U (A1) that I'll be giving to my parents. Looking forward to the extra horsepower :) Edit: Returned the AC1900p for the AC86u instead.
