Asus RT-AX86U Verses RT-AC86U Wireless Signal Strength

[SAL9K]

Yes, of course. Both routers have approximately the same range and throughput to most common even today 2-stream AC clients. @tallytr is talking about range. I’m replying about range.

Your comment reads like: A minivan is as fast as a Tesla when driving 25 mph, which is not incorrect, but…

No, my observation reads like this:

As far as speed and range is concerned, to most common 2-stream AC clients it doesn’t matter if your router is $250 AX86U or $50 Archer C80. They have the same speed and range.

A minivan is much better than any Tesla model in some common use scenarios, by the way.

I had a Tesla before. This “minivan” can’t do Toronto to Montreal without 1h pit stop. Someone with popular 1/5 price Dodge Caravan will just keep going and refill in 3min, when needed. This is a minivan.
