I’m lucky enough to have FTTP and I’m still running a RT-N66U, although currently my service is only 80/20 this router is due a change.
If it wasn’t for the new AX routers I’d have had an RT-AC86U by now, seems like a fantastic mid range router and does all I need (very little, 2.4, 5ghz and I run an OpenVPN server on my 66u).
Having seen the AX88U I have been waiting for a mid range “AX” 86U equivalent....
Is the new AX58U it? It’s £200 so similar price, not sure the significance of 2x2 Wi-Fi rather than 4x4, and also the processor being intel is said to not be potentially as good?
What’s the consensus do we think for an AX replacement for my RT-N66U?
I have a 2 bed semi, not massive, good range on the 66U - runs an OpenVPN server for occasional browsing use when abroad, iPhone XS for browsing, a wired TV and desktop PC.
The only wireless load really is a number of Nest camera on the 5ghz band.
Any thoughts? AX58U, AC86U or wait? (Can’t wait forever, March 2020 sees 500/1GB residential service on Openreach FTTP, so I’ll jump to 500 most likely and will want a router to match!).
Thanks!
