| Product Name: | ASUS RT-AX86U AX5700 Dual Band + WiFi 6 Gaming Router ZAKU II EDITION, 802.11ax, up to 2500 sq ft & 35+ Devices, NVIDIA GeForce Now, Lifetime Free Internet Security, Mesh WiFi Support, 2.5G port, Gaming port |
| Product Description: | Pros: Great speed and has tons of options. The quad core in the router handles the load amazingly. The built in secuirty is a nice bonus where other brands want yearly subs like netgear. Very easily configurable and qos seems to work decently Cons: Had to contact asus for the red antenna. And after showing them multiple pictures from there own site they were able to locate and ship me the red antenna. I'm glad they sent the replacment as the char zaku theme is the whole reason we're paying 50 extra over the base version. Overall Review: Great router a goes amazing with the other char zaku theme. but had to knock a star off for the sturggle that it took to get asus to admit to the red antenna replacment even existing. once they aknowleged it, it was smooth sailing and they shipped it very promply. |

Shouldn't the boxes be sealed with the red antennae in the original package alongside the red router?
How is it possible that the red antennae would end up separate from the router?
Is Newegg opening the boxes and taking the red antennae out (not likely, but would Asus ship the red antennae separately from the red routers, and how would black antennae find their way into the retail box with the red routers)?
The most likely explanation is that ASUS is shipping some units with black antennae without telling buyers that they have changed it, then Newegg has to scramble to get red antennae when they demand it.
IoT is unfortunately still heavily invested in AC hardware due to diminishing returns and overall cost.
Asus will be releasing XT12 Mesh and newer AX11000 PRO both supporting ~4w unii-4. It's a better option than going for 6E at this point in time. My 2c.
Would argue for GT-AX6000 over those two if it ends up with unii4 support. (most people dont need tri band or mesh).
i recently bought the ax86u and put merlin on it.
anyway my broadband is 200 Mbps.
i set up openvpn on it on udp protocol.
i use speedtest.net and i get 75/9 Mbps.
pings are 15 ms.
Should i not be getting near 200 Mbps?
It's been awhile since I set it up so don't remember anything, but I don't think I had to make any tweaks to get that speed.
You might want to post on the SNB Merlin forums, They are helpful.

are you getting your full bandwidth via speed tests from your PC, and your PC is connected to your router via hard wire, or wireless?
I need a powerful router in terms of processing and memory, but don't care much about range. It's for a studio (open one room) full of smart home devices (like 40ish, bulbs, locks, speakers, etc.) plus streaming, computer and laptop. Basically a router that is able to process a lot of data concurrently.
Could you provide some options? Or should I wait for Wifi 7 if it's really a game changer (although I believe there are options already to comfortably deal with that many devices, streaming, etc.).
I find a little hard to browse for routers based on CPU, RAM, etc.
Thanks for any insight!

It doesn't sound like you're doing anything that's particularly demanding on a router's CPU or RAM.
If these smart devices are just lightbulbs and such, and not like a couple dozen wireless security cameras all streaming at 10 mbit to a server, then basically any of these mid-high end Wifi routers will work fine.
If you have lots of IoT devices that'd suck up Wifi bandwidth (read: security cameras), then triband is the way to go, assuming your RF environment permits. Dedicated 5ghz channel for the IoT devices, and a separate 5ghz channel for your laptops and phones.
Generally we only really care about CPU/RAM when we get into doing some seriously poweruser level stuff. For ex: routing at >1 gig, heavy firewalling, DPI/IPS/IDS (do these consumer routers even support this?), pushing an actual shitload of connections (server use, insane bittorrent settings, etc), or VPN on the router. And it doesn't sound like you're doing any of that.
If you are, it's time to move beyond these consumer grade routers. PfSense, OPNsense, Ubiquti gear, etc are all reasonably cost-accessible options in that case.

Yes, not doing this CPU/RAM demanding, but I thought that due to so many devices connected and needing to respond at the same time (when I request to turn on/off, etc.) I would need a more powerful router.
Just so you know, like 90% of my IoT devices are only 2.4 Ghz. Only the laptop, streaming are 5 Ghz. I don't think that Wifi 6 tech like MU-MIMO would help me here because these IoT devices don't support them.
To use as a guide to my research, since you are very knowledgeable, could you please tell me 2 routers you'd think it would be good for me? 40+ IoT devices connected, with laptop streaming, streaming device (TV).
Thank you!
