    AX86U performing worse than AX82U

    Thank you, Volt! I appreciate your response. I was actually doing a controlled test of all 3 routers (AX86U, AX82U, AX58U) at different distances. I decided to do a reset on the 86U last night and it seems like that helped with the results. I've at least managed to get some faster results than...

    AX86U performing worse than AX82U

    Super helpful. Thanks! I've heard a ton about Merlin. What are the main benefits of installing their firmware vs the native firmware?

    RT-AX86U strange slow wifi internet speed

    Thanks for the reply. I believe I fixed the issue I was experiencing. I didn't realize Merlin didn't support AX82U. I guess I assumed since it would since it supports AX58U.

    AX86U performing worse than AX82U

    Thanks for the reply, bbunge. I appreciate it. I was just surprised by the results, but your answer makes sense and is helpful. It's just frustrating when you spend money on something that you believe should perform better and it doesn't appear to. Are there any threads you would recommend...

    RT-AX86U strange slow wifi internet speed

    Did you try using the AX82U as your main router? I just tested the AX86U and the AX82U, and I found the AX82U performing 50 Mbps better at times. I would be curious if it's the same for you.

    AX86U performing worse than AX82U

    I did a test of the AX58U, AX82U, and AX86U. Out of the 3 I was most surprised at the AX86U results. It performed alright, but definitely not as good as the AX82U. Any ideas? The AX82U achieved 50 Mbps+ better than the AX86U. The AX86U should be better right? Thanks in advance!
