Newbie looking for ASUS AX router advice. I currently have an ASUS RT-AC68U and RT-AC1900 running in AiMesh. They cover my house upstairs and downstairs pretty well and have . Looking to upgrade for some future proofing as I have an increased number of devices active in the house to 30+, most are AC, but I have a few AX and future device upgrades will be AX. I also would use the 2.5 Gb port to connect my NAS.
I am looking at the ASUS RT-AX86U as the main router. I know for full capabilities I would need to mesh with another AX86 instead of an AC1900. I may buy a second AX86 soon for this.
Some questions I had are shouldn't the AX86 have better range than the AC68/1900? I know my AC devices will still be limited to AC on the AX86, but shouldn't the AC performance of the AX86 be improved over the AC68/1900? Would the AX86 handle more devices than the AC68?
Thanks in advance for any feedback anyone has.
