Oh yeah, I've seen that before. It does look good but I don't have any smart devices as well as knowing me I'd be tempted to constantly put items through the hole to see if it messes with the signal hahaha.

It's as optimized as it will be. It is on the side of the house just due to the family not liking looks of the router so I have it out of the way, but to compensate I have it on a high shelf. I have a pretty lengthy cable to get it there but I have it hidden so out of sight out of mind right...

Oh that sounds simple, my only other question would be that for uploading the file would I need to have a wired connection to the router with something like a laptop or could I do that wireless? Oh yeah for sure, but experience with the routers is what I was looking for and you all know more...

Oh I didn't know that. I think I will then give that a try!! Thank you

That's nice to have! What I meant is just the initial installation, since I've only ever done updates by connecting directly to the router ui and updating it that way. I assumed I would have to download it and somehow put it on the router, that is the part I'm confused of.

Yeah thanks for the feedback, I am just leaning towards the ax58u due to it being a bit cheaper and having the benefit of 'future proofing.' Whenever I get home I need to do more price comparisons as well as check other websites since I'm only checking amazon at the moment.

That sounds amazing, I will just have to look into how to download/install the firmware since I've only ever used official software. I will say though I'm doubtful that I will be able to make the most of it just due to lack of knowledge in networking. Also this alone sold me on making sure I get...

Okay, sorry for the misunderstanding like I said my knowledge for networking is very basic but the learning process has been fun. Looking further I'm thinking of getting the AX58U since it seems cheaper than the AC86 on amazon since it would mean future proofing and it would allow me to use...

I'm going to be honest, I don't fully understand what you are saying. Does that mean I would need a tri band router to have a proper wireless ASUS mesh? I feel tri band would be overkill for my house just due to the lack of devices and speed. I do currently have set channels (don't fully know...

Oh I didn't know that. I didn't see it listed on the Merlin site so I didn't think it was ready just yet. When you say it's a good working router how would you say its 5ghz wifi is? I'm asking this since due to house design and placement there is a few phones and a microwave between the router...

I'm assuming a lot of people make threads like this all the time so I apologize for the repetitiveness. I'm looking for a new router as my current one is a bit outdated and has issues getting everywhere (ASUS RT-N66U). I'm hoping to get another ASUS router since browsing this forum and others...
