In the last router review, we took the ASUS RT-AX82U for a ride and we actually found a router that would complete most of the networking scenarios in 2021. So the RT-AX86U was an AX5400 variant. Right here, we have an ASUS RT-AX86U router which bumps the game up a notch with AX5700 instead. Is it worth the extra money that you will be spending? Let’s find out~
In a nutshell, the RT-AX82U is a pretty decent gaming router. Although there are a few minor bugs to be addressed, I believe their system engineers will resolve the issue a.s.a.p.
The ASUS RT-AX82U is a well-rounded WI-Fi 6 router that's a good fit for many families.
The ExpertWiFi may look like a conventional mesh Wi-Fi system. But its business-class app provides versatile networking features ideal for many small-to-medium businesses and public venues such as restaurants and hotels.

For the occasion, we decided to take advantage of an ASUS ZenWiFi Pro XT12, a state-of-the-art mesh system with all the necessary features for the optimisation work we are going to do and more. First of all, ZenWiFi Pro XT12 supports Wi-Fi 6, which offers up to four times the range and up to twice the speed of Wi-Fi 5, and thanks to 12 streams it offers more bandwidth, supporting a total combined speed of up to 11000Mbps
The mesh system designed by Asus and featured in its range of extendable routers is the best choice for improving the home network and making the wifi signal accessible to all rooms. Asus routers are easy to install and use. in addition, they are equipped with a protection system.

And setting up a connection between a smartphone and a home server completely reduces the number of necessary actions to a minimum. As practice has shown, for users of ASUS routers, all this really will not create much difficulty.

The dedicated gaming port on RT-AX82U automatically prioritizes any wired device connected to it. No complex configuration is needed, just connect your gaming PC or console to the special LAN port to give you a fast, stable connection that's always at the head of the queue.

Gear Accelerator lets you prioritize devices wirelessly via RT-AX82U's online control panel. The simple interface lets you prioritize devices to help boost their speed and prevent them fighting over bandwidth with other devices.

Connect your devices to the 5 GHz band and avoid the often-congested 2.4 GHz band, while enjoying up to 8.4X faster WiFi speeds. Also, optional Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) unlocks up to 15 of the least-congested channels on the 5GHz band to give you even more bandwidth for gaming.***

Remove Network Bottlenecks

Adaptive QoS (Quality of Service) lets you keep your network running smoothly by prioritizing network traffic. You can prioritize applications such as streaming video or web surfing, as well as gaming. It's the perfect ally for delivering low-latency WiFi anywhere in your home.

With easy central control and seamless roaming, even non-experts can set it up with any AiMesh-capable routers you own. Say goodbye to WiFi dead zones!
