AX58 or AX68?

[GoNz0]

Out of the 2 what routers got the better processing power?
I know it isn't always down to processor speed or cores so it's an honest question
Also I am on 600mb internet so the ability to deal with QOS without losing speed is a must.

Thanks.

Spend a few extra bucks for the AX86U. Well worth it!

If I could find one for a few extra bucks in the UK I would.

I watched Amazon UK for mine. They received a few in stock, but you have to be quick as I picked up 2 but they sold their stock within about 6 hours. They seem to get frequent deliveries though. Great routers BTW

I'll stick a 3camels watch on them coming back in m8, if my main one sh*ts it then the repeater will have to step up until I can sort them. To be fair the AC68u's are bloody old and have done well.

ax68 i think as the cpu looks like same with ac86u. so for openvpn, you'll get more speed.

I don't use VPNs much, more QOS having fast internet and kids

Looks like AX68U doesn't support DFS, so would definitely go with the AX58U: Should I see DFS channels on a US RT-AX68U running Merlin? | SmallNetBuilder Forums (snbforums.com)

I am waiting for Amazon to get stock of the AX86u as it dropped in price a few weeks back so I bit.
