Backup Compatibility between Asus router models

Jan Östberg

New Around Here
Hi
Today i´m running an Asus RT-N66U 380.70 and i plan to upgrade to a RT-AX88U. Can i use the backup cfg file created by RT-N66U or do i need to program the AX88U from scratch?
Secondly - is the RT-AC86U a better choice that AX88U, seems to be a lot of people running those.

1) No, you cannot use backups from different models.

2) The choice of model is for you to decide .Which model suits your needs best?

Thanks for a quick reply!
Figured as much (on both question actually).
As for the second question, some models seem to be more problem prone than others - my question was more from that point of view

IMO It's not a better choice. I have both and the AX88U is much faster and has enough memory to load many extra scripts. On the AC86U with the scripts loaded from my signature below I'll have 28MB of free RAM, on the AX88U i have 300MB free. Also the AX88U comes with WiFi6 support which makes it future proof for the next several years.
