Fast WiFi speeds with strong signal and wide reach
Effective bandwidth management
Perfect for gamers
Eight superfast Gigabit LAN ports
Speedy Wi-Fi performance and lots of useful features
Fast data transfer rates, Good range, Feature packed, Easy to set up and use,
Relatively pricey, Could be overkill if you have a slower Internet connection
On balance, the Asus RT-AC88U is near impossible to beat. It's blazingly fast, relatively easy to set up and use, and about as feature-laden a router as you are likely to find. In addition to terrific wireless performance, its support for wired networkin...

The Asus RT-AC88U and the Asus RT-AC3200 have a lot of things in common, both have a great user interface, both have powerful hardware and interesting designs (although the RT-AC88U is better looking, but this matters little when we talk about routers), s...

If you're a little confused by the sheer choice of ASUS routers available across the AC3100/AC3200 class, then you can't be blamed. The company has pushed out a number of similar looking models which include slight variations in features – which one is ri...

Great WiFi Performance, Great Coverage, Attractive Design, Great Interface, Dual-WAN
Expensive, Lack Of Clients To Fully Use the Router's Capabilities
Overall, the ASUS RT-AC88U is one of the most exquisite routers from ASUS, it has a premium, aggressive design, the performance is one of the best on the market right now, and the interface is well made and very user-friendly, packed with lots of features...
After running hundreds of speed tests and measuring Wi-Fi coverage over more than 20,000 square feet of yard, I'm confident we've put the RT-AC88U and RP-AC68U through their paces. We may have even pushed them to their limits in some areas. While I would...
Class leading performance, Great software, Lot of advanced adjustability, Eight LAN ports, MU-MIMO support
Expensive, Occasionally lost Wi-Fi connectivity on iPhone, USB 3.0 port placement is annoying
The previous two MU-MIMO routers we tested were both very good, but each one was missing a key ingredient that would have elevated it to Editor's Choice status. For the Netgear router we disliked its software interface, and for the Linksys router its perf...

Loaded with ports and management features, Multi-User Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) enabled, Speedy throughput performance in testing,
Expensive, Middling file-transfer speeds on our tests
The Asus RT-AC88U is a pricey dual-band router that is packed with features. It supports MU-MIMO technology and delivered solid 5GHz throughput in our tests...

When it comes to home networking most of us find our ISP provided routers to be sub-par, either providing us with inadequate WiFi range or performance or simply slowing down under the pressure of our many wired and wireless devices.High end routers are ex...
Almost a Gigabit of wireless throughput when paired with another in bridge mode
MUMIMO not supported, Meh USB 3.0 storage throughput, Run with the pack wireless performance
ASUS fanbois have been all worked up about the RT-AC88U, judging from SNBForums discussions. But neither our chamber nor real life tests provide reason for such excitement, at least on the basis of wireless performance. What Forum posters seem most excite...
