You did the right thing. AC86U is an excellent router when it works. 3y warranty is good. Enjoy!

When I replaced my two dead AC86Us with more AC86Us, you gave me a bunch of... flowers.

Hello. And what software to use. Stick to the proven 386.5 or 386.7

True.

I really hope Asus figured out the issues with this model. Sale price and 3y warranty is acceptable.
