    RT-AX88U Pro v.s. RT-AX86U Pro

    Well as far as I know I am not missing anything, I mean for the slight increase in processing power maybe not i guess, I do like dabbling but hate messing things up and take ages to rectify. #beentheredonethat. I suppose what I should be focusing on is the port notice that 2 of the routers...

    For sure I would have set up the pro first, just timing with the purchase of each device and it was the last one I bought when my system was up and running. I will take my time next week to undertake the steps @bbunge says. Thanks for your input.

    Ok so I am going to show my ignorance here, what is stopping me from just unplugging them and just switching over? I am not tech minded when it comes to this so go easy on me with any responses.

    Ok so things are going well and if it ain't broke..... my question is my RT Ax86u is the current wireless router mode (my cable company bridged their router), do I now change my Pro to act as the wireless router mode and use the RT ax86u as an aimesh node instead?

    Update after a couple of weeks for anyone that remains interested. All seems good, no issues at present. Happy with how things are going.

    Well its been quite satisfying so far apart from the above points I noted that I have not figured out. The coverage is definitely wider around d the whole house will full wifi bars also showing on our cellphones with KO dropping. Of course I am waiting for something to go wrong but at this...

    RT-AX88U Pro v.s. RT-AX86U Pro

    Well, i did it and it seems to be settling down after the firmware upgrade. The thing is in the port status i now have the message the speed of your connection could be improved and try, a new cable, old device loose connection blah blah. I had my AC86U connected up before the switch and it...

I cannot move my cable modem because of where everything is so 2 asus routers upstairs and one downstairs captures the whole house and...
