| 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. |

Any comments on whether spending more for something like the AX11000 would be significantly better in performance or futureproof me for way longer?

As for futureproof, you'll want a 6E capable router. So the AX11000 isn't any more futureproof than the AX86u.
Realistically, AX is a pretty marginal upgrade over a wave 2 AC 1024QAM capable router. Everything else equal, it's only 20% more performance or so.
But also I think that dual 5ghz band routers are pretty stupid for home use in non-mesh scenarios. Almost never do people actually need the density capability increase from dual 5ghz bands. Running a second AP for extended coverage is almost always better.

The real futureproof upgrade is to a triband 6ghz capable AP. Something like a Unifi 6 Enterprise. 1x 2.4ghz, 1x 5ghz, 1x 6ghz.
The problem with dual 5ghz is that it mostly just enables a density increase, and changes nothing for a single client's performance. Almost nobody needs this at home. Most people just need their one device to be faster, and aren't interested in having multiple devices reach ~600 mbit at the same time.
And it brings problems with frequency availability and/or DFS, depending on your location and local RF environment. It also makes it that much harder to run a second AP for extended coverage, since, you know, you're generating interference for yourself.
