Hi everyone, first time poster here, hope i get this right. Recently found what looks like a deal on the ASUS RT-86U router for $195.00+ $19 shipped to Perth.
Link to ASUS official website for product information.
Will Wi-Fi be slower than EoP if it maxs out my internet connection?
Good tip - what kind of EOP would you recommend for my iPad?
I dunno man, I'm running 5Ghz wifi and i get 420Mbps on speedtest. Which is 300Mbps more than my powerline adapter which is always a good ~120Mbps speed.
My EOP keep freezing, requiring power cycling to kick start it again.
Different router
Sorry so it is must be my dyslexia kicking in
Almost did same thing ;)
Cheaper by few dollars ($211.20) from same seller on ebay … eglobalcentral-au with 20% code 'password' …. (https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Brand-New-Asus-Dual-band-Wireles…). Good price. Been looking for a few weeks, price on eglobal has ranged from $194 to $220+ plus delivery.
Does it mean Asus is going to discontinue AC68U (because of TM AC1900) and drop the price for AC86U?
With this price, I will get the AC86U instead.
just got myself the ac86u from this store. unlike the 68u, it gives me VPN speeds of upto 120mbps download. the 68u i think maxes out openVpn at maybe 50-60mbps
Can you confirm the openvpn speed? I was disappointed by the speed on the 68u, was like 12 mbit or so
Is ac86u only with asuswrt merlin?
for those interested the RT88U is also available at only $46 more. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/379158
my post had a lot of comments about warranties and the like so buyer beware?
BTW if you want fast internet get a powerline adapter, wifi will always be slower. Also routers can't be fast if your internet connection is slow.
