    Asus RT-AX68U or AX86S as media bridge

    Yes, I am sure the AX86S will work well for your application.

    Asus RT-AX68U or AX86S as media bridge

    Checking the current online retail prices... It looks like they went up for the RT-AX86U which is now $279 USD from Amazon (up from $249). The new RT-AX86S is $249.00 USD. I said this would happen in a post over a month ago. They will still be sold out and back ordered for the AX86U even after...

    RT-AC86U freezing

    It could be a router firmware corruption issue but that could take an extended amount of time, effort and knowledge to debug. A hard factory reset of the the router using latest regular Asus firmware should help solve those types of problems. From reading your original post and because you used...

    AX86 wireless latency

    It's good to know you quickly found the real source of the latency. Despite forum contributors telling them to check the rest of their equipment (wireless clients, Ethernet cabling, etc..) you don't know how many Asus router users post these exact kinds of performance problems in this forum but...

    RT-AC86U freezing

    I have several Macbooks that connect wirelessly to the AX86U and they work great with zero problems. You shouldn't have problems just connecting via Wifi. Have your Mac checked out by a professional for viruses, malware, driver problems, etc.. Even though they tell you it never happens I had a...

    Long term, cheap upgrade from RT-AC56U

    Consider the RT-AX86U as an investment you will be happy with for the next five years. It would be a significant upgrade for you. If you can find one new in stock at the retail price I would just get it. If you don't want to spend the money right now then get by with what you have until you save...

    RT-AX86 Series

    For everyone else too. Hopefully it stays this way. Given enough time some problems solve themselves.

    RT-AX86 Series

    Exactly. I don't know why forum contributors should have their posts knit picked and be harassed and criticized for the words they use when they post their opinion. Also agree, If you can't afford a product because it's expensive for you either save your money or buy another less expensive...

    RT-AX86 Series

    Why do I have to keep explaining these things? Bold is either to highlight the main part of someone else's reply so they know what part of their post I am replying to OR it's a way of emphasizing my key points because at times there are those readers who don't seem to understand the key points...

    RT-AX86 Series

    I could consider those who complain about the cost of a bargain at any price a whiner and moaner. It could be a $50 router we are talking about and there would be those who whine and moan about the price. It's an opinion based on the value that item offers In this case a $250 Asus router that...

    RT-AX86 Series

    You are personalizing my general statement of opinion based on my belief that the I think the $250 USD cost of the AX86U is a bargain and that I commented that some of those who complain about the cost of a top rated premium Asus router whiners. Following your line of logic then who is the...

    RT-AX86 Series

    I will guess right now that the AX86S will start out at $229 USD (possibly $219 USD). This will help quell the moans of the whiners high price complaints without stepping on the existing Asus router product line. If it's any clue on Amazon the AX82U price has already dropped to $217 USD to leave...

    RT-AX86 Series

    Seven. That's correct and despite so many moaning and complaining about the price being high those AX86U purchases are looking more like a bargain every day.

    Hahaha! I'm sure you can. :D

    RT-AX86 Series

    The AX86S looks gimped all right. For all we know it could be based on re-provisioned AC86Us. The specs sure look similar. Don't be surprised if the $299 USD AX86U Zaku Edition is the only one with the original specs available that you will be able to purchase as new going forward. I hope those...

    RT-AX86 Series

    But you will have to wait more than two years to make sure it doesn't crap out on you the way you complain that the AC86U did. :oops:

    Intermittent internet disconnects on AX86U

    I explained in my the posts above (and have in other similar threads) that Spectrum internet services has a history of being unreliable due to over saturation of their bandwidth. It's a known problem that can only be corrected by Spectrum upgrading their capacity. I too am having trouble right...

    AX86U internet issues

    I've seen a similar program when the ISP's cable internet connection fails from time to time or becomes unreliable. Similar to what you are saying some devices lose connectivity and some others like VOIP don't. In the past the ISP tech support had to come out and install an amplifier on the...

    One RT-AX86U replaced my whole mesh network

    Thank you for posting about your experience with the AX86U. This has been my experience as well which is why I have been expressing enthusiasm for this router since I bought it last year. It also happens to be the most reliable router I have ever owned.

    Brand new AX86U slow wired & wifi

    Generally straight up is good but not necessarily when the clients are directly above or below the router. These are meant to be adjusted to optimize the signal. A thirty degree angle is often recommended. Note: I said forty five degrees previously which can also be used for testing client...
