    AX86U Pro or BE86U?

    Hi! Right now I've got the TP-Link Deco X60 Mesh with 3 units and good Wi-Fi coverage, but some smart speaker loses the connection temporary when changing unit. So then I started looking for a standalone router and got my eyes on the Asus RT-AX86U Pro, mainly because I've read that it has very...

    Solved RT-AX86U Pro - Using as PPPoE modem with BT Full Fibter internet

    AFAIK these are the only settings I need after changing it to PPPoE connection. I'm using merlin 3004.388.8_2. The WWW/WAN light on the router is white, as well as the Wifi lights, I have the www port hooked up to the port on the newly-installed yesterday openreach box, and all the lights are...

    RT-ac68 and RT-ac86 expiring, what now? RT-ax86(PRO) and Range Extender or not?

    Hello, I currently have an RT-AC86U as my main router and a bunch of old RT-AC68U that I use as nodes all running merlin. All of these will not be further supported after the end of 2024 and I will be looking into an upgrade. I think the RT-AX86 PRO will do nicely as an upgrade for my current...

    RT-AX86U Pro dropping connection intermittently

    I purchased this router a few months back, maybe about 3-5 months ago. I haven't had too many issues using it. However, recently my internet has been spotty.

    Any reason not to upgrade from RT-AX86U to RT-AX86U PRO?

    Couple days ago, got a new RT-AX86U PRO router for my parents’ house. Speed-wise is smooth and for home entertaining connections were pretty nice. The latest firmware 3.0.0.4.388.21074 got an upgrade somehow. Netflix streaming seems without congestion compared to my old router back at home...
