    Solved How good is built in Asus SW and mobile app for managing and parental controls?

    Wow interesting, so even at the 2x price difference of AC and AX for new, still not worth the 86U in the interim? Lowest price ever was was boxing day sale (kinda like black Friday) but in 24th Dec for $460 for the Ax86u

    Solved How good is built in Asus SW and mobile app for managing and parental controls?

    Thanks Thanks mate I hear you. So you are saying with the Ax86u, even without any WiFi 6 devices, it's still worth the almost 3x the price tag compared to AC86U? All I really need is the built-in OpenVPN functionality and a reliable parental control mobile app. House is only 1300sqft so...

    Solved Netgear X6 R8000 vs RT-Ac86U

    Would the netgear be close competition to the crowd favorite AC86U? I just need the built-in OpenVPN functionality and a reliable parental control mobile app. House is only 1300sqft so coverage and speeds won't be an issue with either I guess. Currently on gig speed UFB on Linksys WRT 1900AC...

    RT-AC86U new firmware 3.0.0.4.386_44470-g53bccb8

    Which firmware is this please? The one in the title of this thread or a different one? Thank you. I'm getting a used 86U after a long time of waiting and on the verge of deciding between the most stable official (if I can find what that firmware is) or go Merlin but I'm not very techy so a...

    Solved How good is built in Asus SW and mobile app for managing and parental controls?

    I tried to look for AX86U but it's very pricey. Like, 3 times the price of AC68U where I am. I don't think I'll utilize that kind of gains from it? Also, anyway to use RP-AC68U as AP with my Linksys router instead of buying a new router?

    Solved How can I use Asus RP-AC68U with my Linksys WRT-1900AC router?

    I'm very happy with the LAN speeds from Linksys router but the parental controls and mobile app management is terrible. I found a barely used RP-AC68U locally for not much $$ and was wondering if this is a good way or even possible to use as access point and ditch/use the Linksys router for its...

    Solved How good is built in Asus SW and mobile app for managing and parental controls?

    Thank you for your reply. I can look into the AX but x86u is twice the price compared to AC86U even on the used market. I do not have any wifi 6 devices in the house yet and since I'm only buying 2nd hand, is it still worth buying the ax86u over the ac version? My house is 120m2 or1300sqft...

    Solved How good is built in Asus SW and mobile app for managing and parental controls?

    I'm almost sold on buying an Asus router missy probably AC 86U as everyone recommend it here( maybe Amplifi HD for it's teleport feature but not finalized yet) I was wondering how good is the built in Asus software? Do I HAVE to flash third party firmware on Asus router? I'm not super techy...

    Solved Amplifi HD(no mesh) vs Blue Cave vs AC86U vs AC88U vs AC5300 plus few other local options

    Hi all, Greetings from New Zealand! Currently running Linksys WRT AC1900AC. Tidy little performer with good speeds but terrible software and sick of using the mobile app that is unresponsive. Must have: -Decent WiFi 5g speeds -VLAN tagging -Most importantly built-in OpenVPN or alternative...
