    RT-AX86U On Sale in China & Reviewed!

    Another review today. Still need to translate :) But 5G throughput doesn't look too impressive to be honest: https://baijiahao.baidu.com/s?id=1667080187030997128&wfr=spider&for=pc

    RT-AX86U On Sale in China & Reviewed!

    Is it reasonable to expect some difference in performance given the difference in design, like being vertical and 1 internal antennae? But I'm not sure if that means better or worse range/throughput tho :)

    RT-AX86U On Sale in China & Reviewed!

    So do you think if it worths it to buy an AX86U at this point or we should wait for 6E to hit the market?

    LOL that's an interesting translation! It actually means the opposite in Chinese.

    RT-AX86U On Sale in China & Reviewed!

    Very thorough unboxing and review by Koolshare community (the Chinese cousin of SNB). Google Translate is your best friend :) Can't wait to see it there and compare against AC86 and AX88! https://koolshare.cn/thread-181640-1-1.html http://zhongce.sina.com.cn/article/view/46363

    Wi-Fi Signal Strength RT-AC86U v RT-AX88U

    Newbie here getting lost reading this long thread! Sorry :( So... is there a consensus over wireless range/speed of AX88U and AC86U? if we only look at 5GHz and ignore all other features or firmware differences. Thanks in ahead!

    Considering R7800, coming from Merlin AC68U

    Thanks a lot! 5G is definitely what I'm looking for. Almost all devices we have are on 5G now. Looking at SNB's chart, 86U seems quite a bit behind R7800 in terms of 5G range and throughput. Another one I'm very interested in at this point is Phicomm K3, which is new to US market. Exact same...

    Considering R7800, coming from Merlin AC68U

    This thread is a little bit old... But would really like to know how the range/throughput at range of R7800 compare to AC68U. We're moving to a lager home where my AC68U will not be strong enough for cover the whole place. Is R7800 the strongest single router out there in terms of range and...

    AC68U vs AC3100 vs AC86U wifi testing

    Well... maybe it's about the time to upgrade my AC68U. But I would probably go with R7800 since we're moving into a bigger home. Throughput at distance is the key.

    Phicomm K3C AC1900 MU-MIMO Gigabit Router Reviewed

    Phicomm started selling K3 last summer in China. I have read many reviews and user feedback on K3 (I can read Chinese). At least one trusted source put it again R7800, which in my opinion is one of the best in the market. K3 won by a clear margin. Since Tim reviewed K3C, I think it won't be too...

    Phicomm K3C AC1900 MU-MIMO Gigabit Router Reviewed

    Great review Tim! Would really love to see a review of Phicomm K3 as well and put it against things like R7800, Ac-86U, etc. I read some early reviews of K3 from China. I feel the K3 might be the best consumer-grade single router on the market (US & China) in terms of range and throughput...

    Regularly flush caches. What is this? On or Off?

    Thanks a lot! Great insight there!! A couple follow up questions - 1) Does that mean the performance penalty of flushing is only related to new connections (like quicker to recognize and connect clients?)? 2) After disabling the flush, my RAM usage could get up to 80%+ while doing some FTP file...

    Regularly flush caches. What is this? On or Off?

    Hi all, I apologize if this has been discussed here before. I couldn't find much information about this anywhere. I only remember I have read someone (couldn't find that thread now) said disable this function would increase performance, which agrees to the explanation in the firmware. But I was...

    Checking and adjusting TX power

    The latest 380.69 FW has TX power adjustment option. But I'm not sure if it was there in earlier version.

    ASUS RT-AC86U Dual Band AC2900 Wireless Router Reviewed

    Thanks for the review. Looks awesome! On the other hand, I would highly recommend you test the TP-LINK Archer C3150 V2 as well. The V2 was reported to be noticeably better then V1 (also compared by a YouTuber). You have tested V1 in Revision 9, which is similar to R7800 in terms...
