ASUS RT-AX86U Pro

In itself this is a good router. I was very happy with this until recently. I had an internet connection of 300 Mbps with Quality of Service turned on in the router settings and I got that speed. However, I recently switched to a 1 Gbps connection, and I only got 330 Mbps or so, very disappointing when your speed should actually go x3. After a long search it turned out to be the router. When Quality of Service is on, your internet speed slows down enormously. I'm in conversation with Asus but here are the numbers: No QoS: 950 Mbps (approximately the effective speed of my line). adaptive QoS: 650 Mbps, so 300 Mbps difference, best case with QoS. traditional QoS: 300 Mbps, so 650 Mbps (!!!!) difference, that's huge. Geforce Now QoS: 330 Mbps Bandwidth limiter (even without any actual limits set): 370 Mbps So keep this in mind if QoS is important to you.

It replaces my Asus RT-AC68U and is (unsurprisingly) a huge improvement, both in terms of speed and range.

Long doubted between the 82 h, the 88 h and this one. In the end it became the RT-AX86U. This router has the same chip as an RT-AX88U and that for a more competitive price. The speed and coverage are fine, where I first needed an extender on the second floor and in the garden for range, this router does not achieve the same speed. Furthermore, this router has a 2.5 Gbps port so that it is prepared for the faster modems. This port can be used as a wan or lan port. All in all a great router!!
