  • Abstract:  If you're a PC gaming enthusiast, you know about speed. Gaming rigs are good only if they're tricked out with the latest and fastest CPUs, lots of memory, the quickest solid state drive (SSD), and, of course, the best graphic cards. But while that combina...

  • Abstract:  One of the most common annoyances of modern man is a poorly functioning WiFi connection. Especially now that more and more devices are becoming connected and it only gets busier in the ether, it can do no harm to take a good look at your current equipment...

  • I could keep could this page very and just say: It is an awesome router, go out and get one. But, don't worry. I do have more to say than that. ASUS' RT-AC86U is a classic router from its design. A stand-up router with three antennas on top. While that's...

  • ASUS AiMesh offers a very interesting alternative for mesh systems such as its own Lyra but based on standard routers. We tested the special AiMesh firmware with two ASUS RT-AC86U routers. The results are very promising: the performance is far better than...

  • Extensive firmware, Solid Wi-Fi speed and coverage, Well priced
  • Complex firmware, Divisive looks
  • We started out sniffing at its looks, and came out gawping at its performance. For its price, and we definitely suggest buying at the lower mark if you can find it, the Asus RT-AC86U cooks up prime wireless performance from a gamer-friendly recipe.Its per...

  • You can customize just about every setting and the 5GHz speeds are amazing. It also has gaming-centric features, security for your entire home and USB 3.1 Gen 1 for fast network storage and printing
  • You can only use the app while you're connected to your home network, and the physical router has to stand upright with no wall mount option. It's only dual-band, so it lacks an extra 5GHz band to alleviate network congestion
  • At $200, the Asus RT-AC86U is one of the best all-around routers. It has all the latest features, including extra security for all of your devices. This router should maximize your bandwidth and keep your home network running smoothly...

  • 5GHz quad stream gaming router, High coverage area and AiProtection network security, 2900 Mbps data transfer speed
  • 2.4GHz wireless band not so great,
  • We conclude this router review by talking about the pros and cons. The Asus RT-AC86U is a great router for online gamers thanks to the 5GHz quad stream technology, 2900 Mbps transfer speeds, the high coverage area, and security features. However, the 2.4G...

  • Excellent long-distance performance, Gaming and security optimizations, Excellent customizability, Built-in stand
  • Mediocre throughput close to clients, Need to set up router with connected browser, Slightly expensive
  • It may not set speed records, but Asus' $170 RT-AC86U is a reliable, competent router that does extremely well at long distances where competitors fall short. It combines security and gaming enhancements with excellent customizability and a built-in stand...

  • Allows The Repurposing Of Older Routers, Can Be Used In Multiple Configurations, Decent Wireless Performance, In Case Of A Tri-Band System, It Uses A 5GHz Radio For Backhaul, Ethernet Backhaul
  • Setting It Up Can Be Very Simple And Quick Or a Bit More Difficult Depending On The Used Routers, The Software Is Still Not Mature Enough
  • I did find it strange that Asus would develop and release the AiMesh when it had the tri-band Lyra system already available, but I do have to admit that the AiMesh has been a lot more efficient and I appreciate the fact that Asus decided to use pre-existi...
