    Thanks got one. Use W1M12 for 12% off instead of 10%. Need to make a wireless1 account.

    • littlesoldier on 21/04/2021 - 15:20

      Thanks. Added to the description :)

  • nfr on 21/04/2021 - 15:21

    Yeah I used W1M12 too, $301.12 is probably the cheapest it's ever been.

    Whats the difference between AX56U and AX86U?

    • littlesoldier on 21/04/2021 - 15:26

      https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/compare/ASUS_RT-AX86U_vs_ASUS…

      AX56U is a mid-class while AX86U is top class router
      If you have Wifi6 devices (eg. iPhone 11 onwards)
      you can potentially reach up to 5700Mbps using AX86U
      tho in Australia the bottleneck is from the NBN speed..

      • Homr on 21/04/2021 - 15:30

        What speeds can I get from AX56U then?? They are both wifi 6 routers…

      • gamerkonks on 21/04/2021 - 15:34

        iPhone 11 WiFi is only 802.11ax with 2x2 MIMO so maximum theoretical for that device is only 877Mbps, no?
        And the maximum data rate on the RT-AX86U is only 4804Mbps over 5Ghz with 160MHz wide channels (to supported clients).

        • littlesoldier on 21/04/2021 - 15:42

          thanks for the clarification
          I dont mean by iphone 11 can reach up to that speed (just saying its an example of Wifi6 device) :)

          in reality, I think router like AX86U or AX88U with 4 x 4 MU-MIMO is great if combining with another same level router
          to form Mesh network using AiMesh

          only downside I have heard of these 2 routers are, they are both dual-band
          so if forming mesh network with an additional tri-band router
          the 3rd band will be off?

          But for my case, as I am using hardwire backbone
          (AX88U as primary router, with 2 AC68U as nodes)
          pretty happy with my current setup

    tried to check out but already out of stock

    • littlesoldier on 21/04/2021 - 15:27

      sorry to hear, price is just too good…

      • Joe2015 on 21/04/2021 - 15:29

        I know. perhaps just few seconds late. was still available when adding into the cart.

  • itsmehuey on 21/04/2021 - 16:33

    how's this compared to the 88U? And any deals on the 88U?

      just created a deal for 88U :)

      • itsmehuey on 21/04/2021 - 16:36

        ooooof back to sub-400!!

        Damn the 2x USB ports in the 86U would have come in handy to plug my printer in for wireless printing and USB HDD for media server.

        Please get more stock Wireless1 lol.

        • littlesoldier on 21/04/2021 - 16:52

          LOL, the latitude pay promo end in 2 days, so hopefully they will restock
          while I posted the deal actually I didn't bought it myself (already using ax88u)
          my printer has wireless connectivity already and I have a NAS too
          so the USB ports are currently vacant … :)

          • BaarOzGain on 21/04/2021 - 20:40

            @littlesoldier: How is the NAS performance on AX88U ?
            I just learned AX86U has 2.5G port and AX88U does not. Thought I future proofed myself when I bought AX88U but now planning to buy a NAS just not sure if I have to get another modem for example for 4K playback etc. ?

              @BaarOzGain: Most NAS in the current market still doesn't comes with a 2.5Gbps port
              they usually come with 2 x 1Gbps ports which will work with AX86U / AX88U by connecting both Lan ports (Link aggregation)

              Note that Link aggregation is to provide 2 channels to the NAS
              but a single user can only get up to 1Gbps speed to NAS at anytime
              the main advantage is when there are 2 users connecting to NAS at the same time
              instead of both sharing the 1Gbps link (each has 500Mbps)
              now each user take the whole 1Gbps link

              In order for NAS to get the 2.5Gbps port
              there are some 2.5Gbps USB adaptor in the market
              Tho not all NAS support using third-party USB network adaptor
              eg. For Synology NAS, there are some 2.5Gbps adaptor that "might" work: https://nascompares.com/answer/2-5-gbe-usb-adapter-for-synol…

              How Link aggregation works:

        • xoom on 21/04/2021 - 20:17

          the 88u has 2 usb ports also.

          • itsmehuey on 21/04/2021 - 22:42

            @xoom: Oh nice. Thanks for correcting. I keep reading reports there’s only 1.

            • xoom on 22/04/2021 - 05:32

              @itsmehuey: Could be because the front usb port is covered. The back one is exposed. So most pics of device you don't get to see the front usb port.

  • Ausdave on 21/04/2021 - 17:13

    Can someone recommend me a network card adapter to accommodate this router?

    Thanks in advance :)
