    Advice needed on new router!

    I thought the GT-AX6000 was identical to the RT-AX88U Pro? https://dongknows.com/asus-rt-ax88u-pro-vs-gt-ax6000-matchup/ And that they were both better than the RT-AX86U Pro? So. Many. Choices. I do like the vertical form factor of the 86U better for where I'm planning on placing it.

    Advice needed on new router!

    Ha! Thanks for the reply. Yes, he's very enthusiastic for ASUS. After reading through these forum posts, it's hard to get a sense for consensus. It's kind of all over the place. I'm generally not super techy about this stuff. I just want a router that works and becomes invisible. I've been...

    RT-AX86S vs RT-AX86U vs RT-AX86U Pro

    Thanks. I know next to nothing about a router's CPU and RAM requirements. I do see a new RT-AX88U Pro on Amazon for 215. I just don't know if I'd ever use it's capabilities.

    RT-AX86S vs RT-AX86U vs RT-AX86U Pro

    Thank you. I initially replied to this thread with a CPU/RAM question about the difference between the two routers in the thread title, but it evolved and had more people replying. I'll keep this in mind going forward.

    RT-AX86S vs RT-AX86U vs RT-AX86U Pro

    Would I notice an upgrade in RAM and CPU? I have a family of four, two kids 6 and 11. We pay for 100Mbs. Our home is two-stories and a basement, around 2400 sq/ft, and I'd like to cover both levels and the basement, preferably with a single router. Our speed seems to be doing us fine for now. We...

    RT-AX86S vs RT-AX86U vs RT-AX86U Pro

    My old router is a Linksys WRT1900acs that, I think, was having random dropouts.

    RT-AX86S vs RT-AX86U vs RT-AX86U Pro

    Thanks for your reply (and in the other thread). If I don't expect to purchase an ISP plan above 500Mbps, would the money spent on the AX88U Pro and GT-AX6000 be wasted?

    Advice needed on new router!

    Thanks for the reply! I do not have any wired devices. I may wire in my television, but seems to be fine enough on wifi right now. Our current plan is 100Mbps, which seems to be ok. I could see going up to 200 or 500 when the kids get older, but our ISP doesn't offer anything over 1Gbps. I...

    Advice needed on new router!

    Hi all, I have been driving myself mad trying to choose the best router for my needs. I'm looking to replace a Linksys WRT1900ACS that, I think, has been giving me dropouts. I've already replaced my modem with an Arris SB8200 (capable up to 1Gbps). I have a family of four, two kids 6 and 11. We...

    RT-AX86S vs RT-AX86U vs RT-AX86U Pro

    What is the CPU and RAM used for in a router? I have the RT-AX86S and trying to decide if I need the U for an extra $90. I have pretty modest needs. No (serious) gaming, but we stream our tv watching. No VPN's. two adults, two children (6 and 11). I work from home, but video calls are the most...
