Just do an RMA.
Have a gt-ax6000 and it's fantastic. 2 years and not a quirk.
Asus can be inconsistent. Prior to gt6000, I was about to give up on Asus routers but decided one last try considering the excellent reviews from trusted sources.
If the 86u is anything like it (it is) you won't need mesh unless a giant property.
I have mine in a 2500 sq ft home with 3 floors and get great reception everywhere, even landscaping lights 100 ft away (ofc Iot utilize 2.4)

I was looking at this router as a replacement but I guess I'll have to keep looking.

AC86U Pro is better than AX88U Pro.

Traded in router at BB, got it at $144 and very satisfied. Thanks OP
So time will tell if any issues come up for the 88U Pro. So far so good, have the 88U Pro for about half year. Just my own experience with 86U. Prior to failing, it worked without any issues.
