I just returned this to Bestbuy, I was getting under 25mb down and up via FIOS Gig connection on the 2.4ghz channel. The 5ghz was closer to 600mb each,

Running the latest OEM firmware. Unfortunately, this model is not supported by Merlin, and while 90% of my stuff in the house (about 22 items) runs on 5ghz, I put the non essentials on the 2.4.

I "upgraded" to the X86U since that doesn't have the same complaints across the review boards with the 2.4 issue as well as working with the Merlin firmware.

Dont forget 5% cashback if using chase freedom through PayPal. Amazon has their 5% if you have their prime card and b&h has no tax if you have their payboo card. There is amex 25 off 250 for best buy if you have it. And there are various cashback websites to get a few percent extra. This is tempting for me, but I currently don't need a new router. Still rocking the r7000 from 6+ years ago. Had to use old firmware on the R7000 to keep it stable.

This ^

The AX86U is a beast with Merlin, and I'm loving mine. To each their own, but I can't imagine buying a router at this price point without support for 3rd party firmware.

Can I mesh this with the RT-AC68U? Or would it be best to just replace it with this. Are the gaming features worth it?

This router or most ASUS higher end router support Dual-WAN. Meaning you can use one router to connect to 2 ISP like AT&T DSL, Tmobile 5G home network, etc.

https://dongknows.com/asus-rt-ax8...er-review/

You can use Dual WAN for load balancing or fail-over.

Yes you can. But I would use the new AX5400 as the main router, and the old AC68U as a mesh access point.

Looks like Best Buy still has their 15% coupon on trade in of a router (some stores only I guess): https://www.bestbuy.com/site/recy...7300657381

What do you mean by some stores only? Due to availability of the router?

Just my disclaimer since it's in the fine print. On a previous thread with this same router a lot of people were having success with the coupon


In store only. Customer upon recycling of a modem, router or gateway (modem/router combo) will receive a 15% off recycle coupon toward the purchase of modem, router or gateway and a 15% off toward In-Home Wi-Fi Setup SKU: 6929147. Coupon excludes Apple, Ruckus, Luxul and Google products; and Samsung SKUs 5872506 and 5872200. Excludes online-only items. Only 1 coupon per purchase and can only be used once. Limit one coupon per household, per offer. Recycled modems, routers or gateways will not be returned under any circumstances. Not available in all locations and some stores may have additional limitations.
