Hello
I've been using an RT-AC88U for a while now (running MerlinWRT), with an RT-AC86U as AImesh node. For my low-performance needs, I have no complaints,
apart from the 2nd bank of LAN parts failing from time to time (solved by a reset).
-> However... a few weeks ago, my router performed a full factory reset on it's own.
Since the router is getting older, I opted to order a replacement RT-AC88u. However, I just read in wouterv's sticky post that the AC86U actually sports a faster CPU.
Brings me to the question to whether I should configure the AC86U or the AC88U as my main router.
The 'faulty' or 'untrusthworthy' AC88U I will configure as AIMesh point in the attic.
Thanks in advance
Best regards
M
