    After few years with Asus routers I'm done with this.

    I couldn't agree more, I picked up two of the 86U's from Micro Center on sale and couldn't be happier. They have been running flawlessly, one is setup on a Vpn and the other just stock with Merlin 384.5 on both. For the price after rebate 150.00 each, I dare you to find another router with the...

    [ISSUE][RT-AC86U][384.4_2] CPU temp too hot?

    That is still 20* lower that the OP, but I know when I was running my retired Wrt3200Acm 80*C was about the normal. Also I think you mean Centigrade not Fahrenheit ??? Because 80*F = 26.6*C Mark

    After few years with Asus routers I'm done with this.

    Any more the big players in this industry like Linksys, Belkin, Netgear, and many others release a new product and only support it for a couple of years, then decide it's cheaper to release a new product and Stop supporting the units already in the field. Then forcing the customers of those...

    RT-AC86U Availability?

    Was that posted in store ?, I called today and they said they are $199, I asked if there was a sale if I bought two and the rep had no information about that deal. I guess I'm a day late and a dollar short. :(

    Netgear's Horrible Support - support emails pasted

    Back in December many many folks were having wifi dropping issues with their Linksys 3200acm's, having to reboot multiple times a day so Linksys sent out Many Velop's and Ea8300 to get their customers wireless networks back up and running, and were told to keep their 3200's so when a fix was...
