Should I wait? RT-AX86u Pro

Diablo99 · 2025-08-09T08:49:40-0400

Hi,
I'm confused.
Should I get a Asus RT-AX86u Pro?
I have a RT-AX86u with Latest Merlin.
There a dis-advantages (USB ports) & pro advantages, ( Newer firmware, 2 GHz processor, Guest network ) of the Pro version.

Any suggestions?

I also have an RT-AX86U. I see no reason to replace it with an RT-AX86U Pro or any other model for that matter. What is the problem with your current router that makes you want to change it?

I have no problems.
Is the newer Fw 3006 not advised?

The RT-AX86U's firmware is currently supported. I see no problem there.
