When this router came out, it was bug heaven, until the community ironed things out with merlin. And you always want to buy the most popular asus model, because it has by far the most merlin users fixing bugs. In comparison, the biggest-fastest-routers, king spiders, don't get nearly as much support as the leaner pound for pound champs like the AC86u and AX86u. Go 1 model higher, ac87u, barely anyone bought those.
When we switch to 7 in about 5-10 years, we should probably buy the WIFI7 - 86u.

If you buy a new router, 6e/7 whatever, if it get fixes at all, you're looking at years down the road, and that's only if it's Asus. If you buy tplink, netgear, etc, just don't expect anything good, if said function does not work well out of the box, that's how it's going to be forever.
Community support is more important than anything else for routers, the manufacturer can't be bothered to fix anything, they're busy trying to get people to buy newer routers. It's weird that this is the situation, but now you know.
Realistically AC is more than most people will ever need for mobile devices. It can do ~400-650mbit in a normal house.
I can't think of a single common scenario that requires more wifi speed around the house. Big file transfers, but how often do you do these on a laptop.

I own 2200 sq ft ranch on 0.25 lot. I have two of these routers (hard wired together) and can cut grass two homes in all directions and not lose WiFi connection while streaming music. I have been very happy with the router. Purchase one and see how it performs. You could always add an additional one.
Cat6 cable. 50 ft.
I said wifi 6e... and yes they do. Any other questions?

Bruh! Who do you think you are talking to? I STILL rock the AC86U with Merlin. I live in relatively small space at the moment. I'm just sayin'.
My next update is going to be at least 6e.
People can buy this router but I just wanted to let them know it is two generations behind.

Right?! Like $200 for two generation old tech when I am rocking an AC68U with Merlin?! No thanks.
