Asus Rt Ax86U Firmware

ASUS RT-AX86U Pro replaced old original release NETGEAR Nighthawk r7000 workhorse that was failing. Works great, probably even better, so let's upgrade separated garage connection (NETGEAR EX6100) with ASUS RT-AX1800S using AI Mesh! Does advanced tech 5Ghz or Ethernet back haul (not older, slower 2.4Ghz distance) so put router between extender and base router and very happy Mesh network from parts! Used App to OCD tune signal dBm strength (note: app sometimes shows "offline" things that are WORKING but barely). 2.5Gb port keeps gaming pc from complaining about not being optimized (internet .5 GB :). Handling multiple phones, TVs, Quests, PCs, printers, NETGEAR unmanaged switches, etc.

One of the best routers I've ever owned....I wasnt expecting too much coming form the RT-AX86U which is a great router in itself, but my speed increased and get much better range on my devices!

Rog Rapture GT6 meshed with RT-AX86U. Lighting fast and full coverage over 3000 sq ft. With over 30 devices connected.

I have this set up as a mesh router (with a wired backhaul) with the RT-AX88U Pro and I have yet to have to reboot either router. I am also running with Merlin Asuswrt firmware and could not be happier with my current wifi setup! Everything just works and works well. I have lots of IOT devices and multiple computers, laptops, printers, phones and tablets, about 30 devices total and I have had no issues at all. I am coming from the RT-AC68U, with another Asus router in mesh mode, which would occasionally drop the printer and I would have to restart the printer fairly often to recconect. That issue is gone now. I am able to stream 2 4K TVs simultaneously while surfing the web and game online all without any problems. Currently I have only 2 wifi 6 devices that both run at close to 900 MB wirelessly up and down, with Fios Gigabit service 1 gig up and down. I've had my current mesh setup running at least 6 months with only having to do quarterly firmware update. No need to reboot the routers in between updates, it has been incredibly stable with a strong signal everywhere in my 2600 sq. ft. house and yard. I highly recommend Asus routers!

Setup was quick and easy. Updated firmware to latest. Setup a RT-AX6000 to be a mesh node. Happy so far.

I found this router from ASUS easy and painless to set up. My router needs are pretty basic, and to that point the RT-AX3000 works great. My only problem was registering the router with ASUS. I Googled registration problems with ASUS and it seems to a common issue. ASUS needs to address this mater because it tarnishes an overall positive experience.

I've studied router technology for years and I've used Netgear products exclusively. Until purchasing the RT-BE96U, based on glowing reviews by Dong Knows Tech, I've been using a Netgear Wi-Fi 4 router. Beginning with Wi-Fi 6, I increased the time I spent researching Wi-Fi routers and decided to wait until I could purchase a Wi-Fi 7 router. After waiting until the standard was ratified, I was ready to purchase a new device. I increased my Spectrum Cable download speed to a 1GB plan, installed the Asus RT-BE96U, and ran speed tests over ethernet. The performance improvement has drastically increased. I enjoy learning about the settings on the Asus router using the web interface and the mobile app is very nice to use. Now that its been installed, I'm looking forward to tweaking the router and getting the most from it. I appreciate the hard work and dedication of the Asus staff in creating their products and I'm very pleased with the start of my journey with Asus.

I have 3 of the ASUS RT-AX88U routers in my home. They quite simply are the best and it's a breeze to keep the up-to-date with the ASUS router app.

After 10 years of excellent performance (still performing) from a ASUS RT-AC68U AC1900 Dual Band Gigabit WiFi Router, I decided to upgrade, after looking at the different Models (considering my use is a home network), I choose the RT-AX88U Pro AX6000 Dual Band WiFi 6 Router. The AX88U PRO has many new features and amazing speed enhancements not to mention a faster processor with 4 cores instead of 2, and the 2 core processor in the RT-AC68U was really fast in it's day. Setup was a breeze, just reset your modem, then turn on the router with your ethernet cables connected, and boom, setup screen shows up on your computer monitor and except for new ASUS Router Web/Remote access now being a web address instead of the IP address, and a minor change in the the new IP addresses from 192.168.1.100 to the new format 192.168.50.100. Setup was a breeze, Range is much better for WIFI, Web speed regarding loading pages and such, is much faster regarding Ethernet and WIFI, many more features and improvements to list............. Fantastic Router, Incredible Upgrade, ASUS does it again ! I choose this Router as it has the features and priceline I wanted, yes there arew even better ones to choose but they are much more expensive and rightfully so as they are primarily used for large networks with very large client and network demands, considering this is for a home network, it is perfect, has much better WIFI coverage, faster LAN performance and you will notice the difference across the board !

I just got my new RT-AX 57 ASUS router. I am replacing a 2019 ASUS model. It still works fine. It is just time to update it.
