    Buying advice ASUS RT-AX86U, RT-AX88U or RT-AXE7800

    Thanks but not overpaying! My isp only offers their full bw for $50/month! Isn’t that refreshing and that’s been their policy for years. Meanwhile Att charges $82 here for 1gbs, $50 or $60 for 300mbs. Xfinity $93 for 1.2gb!

    Buying advice ASUS RT-AX86U, RT-AX88U or RT-AXE7800

    It’s cheaper too! Don’t need gaming marketing, like all black! Thanks, I’ll watch them both until it’s time to pull the trigger. 10gb fibre is supposed to go live this May on my block and then will get an appointment for the drop to my home...

    Buying advice ASUS RT-AX86U, RT-AX88U or RT-AXE7800

    Here it is closer to May 2024 and wanted to ask the furniture man if the asus gt-ax6000, now a few years old, is still the deal. I’m asking cause after several months of project delays, my new ISP is still on track to go live with fibre on my block this May and so It's getting closer to buying...

    RT-AC86U -> RT-AX86U Pro Review

    We are talking 7 active clients tops if the printer, both tv’s, 2 iPhones and 2 Macs are all on! Generally, more like 2-4 clients! I have 3-4 old Apple routers in addition to my ASSU rt5300. Sounds like I should fire a couple up via ethernet to the ASUS, if I want better wifi coverage and...

    RT-AC86U -> RT-AX86U Pro Review

    Yeah, I know but I got the tv just before last xmas and it will have to last awhile! Who knows when that extra oomph might come in handy! OTOH, I got $1,000 for my 3yo 65” LG OLED and only paid another $1000 for last years LG OLED and finally the step up to 77”. So, with all the world’s and our...

    RT-AC86U -> RT-AX86U Pro Review

    Thats was my question and thanks for the answer, it corresponds with what I was thinking after reading the above posts. I may still pickup one in order to extend access out in my garage. Amazon is selling that router in open box for $153. Then it will become the router and the 5300 will become...

    RT-AC86U -> RT-AX86U Pro Review

    Sonic offers only 1 service and thats the 10gb! They offer it without the voice ip for $50. For me thats a savings of $64.50. Costco is selling bunches of banana’s for $2.49 now! About 6 or so per bunch. So doing the math, that's 155 more banana’s every month irregardless of benefiting from all...

    RT-AC86U -> RT-AX86U Pro Review

    Thanks for the response! I see what you are saying but more importantly, I’m saving a lot of money and support annoyance's by switching from xfinity to Sonic. Xfinity charges $93/month for their fastest 1.2 service and another $31.50 for our VoiceIP land line. Sonic charges $60/month for their...

    RT-AC86U -> RT-AX86U Pro Review

    So I will be upgrading my ISP to Full 10gb Fibre with Sonic here in the SF NorthBay. I’ve been surfing along at home with an RT-AC5300 for some years now every since a client gave me a broken one under warranty that ASUS nicely replaced for me! I’m retired now and been getting amped up about...

    Setup same ip on both sides of asus router

    Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I know that is not the way to ip things but it would have helped in this case, if possible. I'll be going the access point or bridge way, instead. You know, I used to work with products made by Bridge communications before they were bought by 3Com long ago and far away!

    Setup same ip on both sides of asus router

    Hi, I have a job to upgrade a client step by step instead of a quick remove all the currently working gear and build a new solution. One way would be to setup his new 5300 router with the same ip network on the wan and local lan side. When I do this, I get the message that this is an invalid...

    RT-AC88U 5Ghz disappears after each firmware update

    I agree that their firmware q&a sucks. I make sure to download a few previous versions before any update!

    Which app is best for measuring the wifi signal?

    I use two excellent apps on my Mac. WiFi Signal and the WiFi Explorer plus Airtool which captures frames for an app like Wireshark. Ross

    RT-AC88U Internet is at "Check Connection" status all the time

    These Asus fimware updates used to be uneventful. Not anymore! Go back to earlier or try flashing it again.
