Upgraded from an rt-ac86u which is a classic, i just need more beans on wifi range and wan throughput . The range increase is amazing and the fibre throughput both wired and wireless exceeds expectations. Running with another satellite node using aimesh and not even a hiccup after about a month of use. This is likely asus best till last of the dualband routers. If you don't want tri-band, this router is best of breed. Merlin capable too.
