Couple of things:

1) This router supports OpenWRT.
2) Major security flaw if you use the 2nd and/or 3rd guest networks and want isolation between guest and main networks. Seems to be a continuous issue across different ASUS routers. Even after selecting the option to have isolation it absolutely does not work correctly. The 2nd and 3rd guest networks do not get their own VLAN/subnet like the 1st guest network does and can still communicate with main network (although this isn't the main reason why the 1st network is isolated, it's due to the routing table rules).

You can manually fix this using the ebtables routing table but without something like OpenWRT you would need to fix it each time you modify/enable/disable the guest networks or reboot the router since it will default back to the original lack of correct routing rules.
Edit: I originally accidently compared against the AX-3000, but I fixed the specs. Sorry!
The AX-86U Pro is better than this router in practically every category but it costs more.
AX86U Pro vs TUF-AX6000
Max speed

Lol, well if the AC68U is still working reliably with decent speeds, you're probably better off just holding off for a Wifi 7 router. I don't really notice any difference when I roam onto my old AC68U unless I run a speed test. I mostly have smart home devices connected to it which takes very little bandwidth.

I think the AC68U will go down as one of the best home routers alongside the OG Linksys WRT54G.
