Eight superfast Gigabit LAN ports
Speedy Wi-Fi performance and lots of useful features
The Asus RT-AC88U router has eight superfast Gigabit LAN ports, speedy Wi-Fi performance and lots of useful features. Its Web interface is smartly designed and easy to use
The router's USB 3.0 port is awkwardly placed, and when coupled with an external hard drive, its NAS performance is just average
You'll pay a lot for the Asus RT-AC88U, but it has everything you'd want in a router. If you have the money, this is the router to get...
After all the tests, we can say that the ASUS RT-AC88U is a very impressive router for a dual-band type. Overall, it is extremely fast and has excellent admin software for both mobile devices and desktop; we also liked that it features a game-specific Qua...
The RT-AC88U is easily one of the best feature packed routers I've seen in some time. The eight gigabit ports instantly made it one of my favourites as the lack of ports on modern day routers is one of my biggest bugbears and more manufacturers should tak...

Abstract: The result is feature-packed routers that often go far beyond what other dedicated networking companies churn out and this RT-AC88U is another example. It's a follow-up to last year's RT-AC87U, which bumped the theoretical top wireless speed from 1,733Mb...
The ASUS RT-AC88U is one of a kind in the market. It lies somewhere between the top tier AC5300 and AC2600 solutions like the RT-AC87U. Build quality of this router is solid from the internal components to the external design, and on that note, I have al...

Abstract: First things first: you need to understand that this isn't a modem router but a router access point. So if you're using ADSL or Fibre for your connection to the internet you'll still need a modem. This device plugs into the modem and provides wireless con...
Feature packed, Wide wireless range, Great wireless speeds

The ASUS RT-AC88U is so jam packed full of features that it'd make your head spin, but in return you get a router that can almost do everything and does it excellent quality and performance.(previously published in issue January 2016)...
Benchmarking an AC3100 router on the current setup that we have proves to be ultimately futile as we only have only device capable of running at AC1200 and AC1900 and even at those speeds, its not enough to bog down the ASUS RT-AC88U. The dual-core perfor...
Even though the two routers feature the same internals, it is clear from our performance benchmarks that the D-Link DIR-885L has the better implementation. Overall, the D-Link DIR-885L provided better data link speeds and better range. That said, the ASUS...
