    best $200 router to get right now

    I currently have a AC68U but I will be giving it away to my father in law. Currently leaning towards the AC86U but people seems to be having boot loop issue and the 2.4ghz band dying. My other choice is the Synology RT2600AC and the R7800 (Not a big fan of the firmware - although strong Wifi)...

    I want to buy a new router and I have a couple of questions.

    You might wanna go on staples(dot)com and look up the R7800 today to see if you can find one in your area. Its $130 and if you do visa check out, you get additional $25 off I just picked one up this morning. That price was hard to pass up.

    Synology RT2600ac Router Reviewed

    Just saw that the R7800 will be on sale this Friday for $130. I think that’s a better Buy than an AC86U at $199. What do you think?

    Router for family member - Orbi system or Stand-alone router - for wifi range

    Thanks for this. I was considering the AC86U but at this price, the R7800 is a no brainer

    Black Friday - Netgear Router - Which one?

    Looking to pickup the R7800 due to its Black Friday price instead of the AC86U. How is the stock FW on the R7800? And how is the openVPN performance of it?

    Synology RT2600ac Router Reviewed

    what would you recommend over the RT-AC2600? The AC86U or wait for something else? I almost pulled the trigger on the Synology just now, but after reading your comment. Took it out of my cart lol (currently using RT-AC1900P)

    Migrate RT-AC68U to RT-AC86U

    I tried the 86U for a few hours yesterday but ended up returning it. Range was the same compare to my RT-AC1900P and didn't feel it was worth $200 over my current one.

    AiMesh support

    Does anyone know if the AC86U supports Aimesh currently? Does both router have to be on 382 for aimesh to work?

    Migrate RT-AC68U to RT-AC86U

    How much more range can I expect? Thinking of getting the 86U and use the 68U as an AP
