I agree. I don’t know why but in all tests that I did with both as single router, without node, the ax86u had better speed and signal when I was far from the router.
In short, in real life ax88 is a good router, but ax86 is a little better.
When I used ax88u as main router, the node without cable (ax86u) had bad wifi speed due to weak signal from ax88u.
When I reversed the routers, due to the better signal from the ax86u, I also had better internet speed from the node.
There is no relation with the load of the ax88u
Hi
I have the same routers. First I tried RT-AX88U as main router and I had range problems because with wifi range. I did speed test with both ax88u and ax86u. i notice that ax86u has better wifi range than ax88u. I Changed the main router to ax86u. Now everything is perfect. Main router ax86u...
