    RT-BE96U AFC?

    Now that the BE19000AI has AFC support, is there any insight as to if/when we might see it for the BE96U? Are there any limitations as to the channels and/or channel width on the 6GHz band when activating AFC?

    ASUS BE88U vs BE96U - 5GHz Performance

    Is there any real difference between the BE88U and BE96U on the 5GHz band, given that the CPUs and radios are the same? Do the additional antennas on the BE96U provide better performance or coverage? Thanks!

    RT-AX86U (non-Pro) Firmware?

    But will the 3.0.0.4.388 line still get updates for the foreseeable future? Six months since the last update for a popular model like the AX86U seems way overdue.

    I'm running my AX86U Pro on the latest ASUS firmware (3.0.0.4.388_24199) and it's been rock solid, no issues.

    AX86U Pro vs AX88U vs AXE7800

    Just for the record; purchase made... I went with the AX86U Pro. Firmware updated, configured, and running beautifully. The gating factor was stability. There are a number of recent posts on the forum regarding issues with the 3.0.0.6 firmware at present, and as I work from home, I needed the...

    AX86U Pro vs AX88U vs AXE7800

    AX86U Pro vs AX88U vs AXE7800

    Thanks all for the additional suggestions and info! I'm leaning towards the AX86U Pro as I only use the 5GHz band, the 4x4 2.4GHz radio on the AX88U Pro doesn't provide an advantage. As I understand, both the AX86U Pro and the AX88U Pro have the same 5GHz radios and CPUs, the performance...
