About this deal

As soon as I replaced my old RT-AC68U with the RT-AX86U Pro, I gained over 100 Mbps on a wired connection, thanks no doubt mainly to the faster processor. I’m now getting ~945 Mbps (up and down) on a connection rated for 1 GHz. Specifically, instead of one Gigabit WAN and eight Gigabit LANs, the Pro now has two 2.5Gbps Multi-Gig ports (one WAN and one LAN) and four Gigabit LANs. Additionally, it also has a faster CPU.

RT-AX86U Dual Band WiFi 6 Gaming Router, - ASUS

Asus RT-AX86S vs RT-AX86U vs RT-AX86U Pro: Identical-looking, but one is an (almost) entirely different router And then, in late 2022, Asus did it again by introducing the RT-AX86U Pro, which is basically the RT-AX86U plus a slightly faster CPU. VLAN capability on the LAN side was added with the release of Firmware: 9.0.0.6.102.3506 (Beta Version) The RT-AX86U delivered very good throughput on our 2.4GHz close proximity (same room) performance tests. It’s score of 137Mbps was faster than both the TP-Link AX11000 (133Mbps) and the Linksys MR9600 (111Mbps) but just a tad slower than the Asus RT-AX88U (144Mbps). However, it did not fare so well on our long range test: its score of 38Mbps was 29Mbps and 21Mbps slower than the AX11000 and the RT-AX88U, respectively.

ASUS makes no representations or warranties about this product’s compatibility with future standards. The ARP response issue has been resolved, along with the connection issue between the router and the ROG Phone 6 and 7. The new Pro router on the inside reminds me of the similarly-specced GT-AX6000, part of Asus's ROG Rapture gaming hardware. The Asus RT-AX86U doesn’t disappoint when it comes to performance either. It was able to push our 50Mbps Internet connection to the limit, actually squeezing a little extra speed out of it to hit 59.3Mbps for devices in the same room as our main broadband router. Flexible port configuration: Both support Dual-WAN, Link Aggregation (WAN and LAN), and a Game Port.

The major release (3 digits) and minor update (5 digits) in an Asus router firmware version. Some updates may inadvertently cause a particular model to go haywire, likely because the company tries to do so much with its routers.
