    Best value premium router out there in my opinion, providing 4 LAN ports is enough for you.

    • PlaunsJanus on 22/06/2021 - 21:21

      4 LAN ports is not uncommon
      The 2.5 gigabit port is special but not uncommon with this price bracket

    • ItsMeAgro on 22/06/2021 - 21:21

      If 4 ports is not enough? Can I spend a bit more and avoid buying a 4 or 8 port switch to plug into this? Any routers to recommend?

          wow!
          I didn't realise any routers came with 8 ports any more

  • brimmy11 on 22/06/2021 - 19:29

    FYI this is better than the AX88U (even though the name suggests otherwise).

    • cloudie9 on 22/06/2021 - 20:05

        Wi-fi Speeds according to DongKnows / has a 2.5gigabit port instead of 1. It is also newer (2020 release) vs 2019 release.

        • reactor-au on 22/06/2021 - 20:37

          AX88U has 4x4 vs this 3x3 or something like that if I remember correctly.

            @reactor-au: RT-AX86U

            @reactor-au: That doesn't mean anything when real world tests show the 86U having better range and higher throughput.

              @brimmy11: It will depend on how many devices are sharing as well as whether you plan on doing any mesh type setup.

      Hands up if you think this router only have 3 antennas? There are 4 of them if you look closely. I always thought the AX88 was a better model until I read the review. The difference ain't much but the AX86 still came ahead with the speed and has a 2.5 Giga connection.

      • Twix on 22/06/2021 - 21:04

        RT-AX86U has 3 external antenna and 1 antenna on the inside.

      • DoctorCalculon on 23/06/2021 - 01:25
        +1

        Also, the RT-AX86U supports WAN aggregation. You could feed it two separate 50/25 connections which would aggregate to 100/50.

    Currently use nighthawk r7000, worth upgrade?

    • Xwahash on 22/06/2021 - 21:23

      Same here. R7000 is fine but I'm moving to an aimesh setup

    • bonus999 on 23/06/2021 - 00:05
      +1

      Just replaced my R7000 to AX88U. Big upgrade in terms of wifi speed and coverage. But not sure if it is bcoz my R7000 too old and dropping the wifi performance.

      The price is fairly reasonable for wifi6 at the moment even if wifi6e is on the way, first release will be in a rocket high price. As long as ASUS routers (some) has AIMesh, if you are upgrading to wifi6e, this one can using as a mesh node. So very good timing to upgrade now.

  • Viospeed on 22/06/2021 - 20:39

    Hey guys, does anyone know if an NBN VOIP service will work with this?

    • Morien on 22/06/2021 - 20:51

      Doesn't list voip support.

    • Twix on 22/06/2021 - 21:01

      There is no VoIP port but there are ways to get VoIP. Who provides your VoIP service?

      • Viospeed on 22/06/2021 - 21:03

        I have ABB now. Do you know if VOIP can be setup using my old handsets that used the telephone plug?

        • Twix on 22/06/2021 - 21:15

          For Aussie BB and old handsets purchase a VoIP ATA and you plug Ethernet from it into the RT-AX86U LAN port. Just so you know TPG, Telstra, Optus and others lock you into using the ISP modem for VoIP. To avoid this you can use Crazytel or Siptalk with the VoIP ATA.

  • littlesoldier on 22/06/2021 - 20:42

    A bit regret after getting the AX88U instead of AX86U
    but I dont have a NAS that can do 2.5Gbps port…. ah well….
    maybe wait for a few years and get the next generation

    • tmr3 on 22/06/2021 - 23:04

      I'm not too fussed, I'll probably get more out of the extra LAN ports on the AX88U than the 2.5G right now personally, plus it was a little cheaper.

      And I guess the nice thing is when I upgrade in future I can probably take advantage of the mesh feature.

  • itsmehuey on 22/06/2021 - 20:47

    any chance the AX86U would be around this price (or lower) in a few months? have spent way too much over the last few days lol.

      Same here, plus my internet speed is limited to 100 mbps, not sure what to do with this router.

    • ThePunchingBag on 22/06/2021 - 21:10

      If you're thinking a few months ??? Then Black Friday/Cyber Monday it is ;-)

      • GreenRomeo on 22/06/2021 - 21:33

        Good point. Like many OzBargainers I’ve spent way too much recently, particularly on the Prime Days, buying questionable items - many will remain in their sealed boxes for a while. Have to resist and save up for the Black Friday.

        • Brakus on 22/06/2021 - 21:49

          Then more sealed boxes after black friday… 😅

      • itsmehuey on 22/06/2021 - 23:11

        you may be correct sir! I shall wait until then!

  • jopiter69 on 22/06/2021 - 23:04

    Is AX86U the best router at this price point? I always wanted a fancy router and this might go well with my fancy Embody chair ;)

    Edit: Sold out, damn!

  • No Child Support on 22/06/2021 - 23:35

    Currrntly have an AC86U bridged with the Orbi RBK50. Will this be an upgrade over my current system?

  • melboomman on 22/06/2021 - 23:50

    Can someone please explain how a gaming router would be better than my TPG router? I connect via wifi over a 5ghz connection when pc gaming and connection over online games is fine, but when going to the 2.4ghz connection its laggy

    • [Deactivated] on 23/06/2021 - 09:04
      +2

      when they say "gaming" they just mean that it's designed for faster speeds, lower ping etc. your TPG router is probably a cheap router if it's supplied by the ISP, as far as i'm aware no ISP gives you a great router (even if they did you would probably still be paying full RRP over your plan).

      your 2.4 ghz connection might be laggy because there are a lot of devices using that frequency like microwaves, appliances, neighbours who have their own 2.4 ghz wifi band being broadcasted, 5ghz is a lot faster because less devices use that frequency so there is less traffic, though i think it has a shorter range than 2.4 ghz.

      you can check how many people are on the same band as you using an app, i think i used wifi analyzer a while ago, but i found out that i had a load of neighbours using wifi and none of the bands were free on 2.4 ghz frequency so i was screwed on that front.

      Anything with 'gaming' in it usually means it looks like it came from the batcave to appeal to teenage boys and comes at a price premium for no reason.
