Hi all, Do you think should I get AX56 router for more future proof or AC86 for better performance? I could see the price range is quite similar.

QUOTE(junclj @ Feb 18 2020, 04:18 PM) I'm waiting RT-AX86U, if possible that ASUS is launching this model in the future. That could one way provided you currently using a decent router, but I just wondering when they will launch it... *million dollars question*   Anyway, I hope they would launch it soon.QUOTE(sHawTY @ Feb 18 2020, 04:01 PM) RT-AC86U is a Wireless AC 3x3. But devices with 3x3 receivers are very hard to come by. Even the highest end gaming laptops still uses 2x2 RT-AX56U is a Wireless AX 2x2, this has more usage as a lot of laptops, phones & tablet supports 2x2 QUOTE(Jjuggler @ Feb 18 2020, 03:00 PM) The ax56U comes with 1.5ghz (Quad-core) processor while the ac86U (dual-core) comes with 1.8GHz processor. I will still pick the ac86U over the ax56u, but since we're heading towards Wi-Fi 7 era then most likely our home network should be future-proofed as well. My verdict, AC86U (mid - level ac router) > AX56U (Entry level ax-router) Both of you have your points, i guess it would be down to personal preferences.

QUOTE(ASUSmy @ Feb 21 2020, 04:03 PM) Hi sHawTY, Thank for the update! We will be bringing in the RT-AX86U into Malaysia, estimating in quarter 2 2020. This also need to depend on the condition on China as a lot of factory has been closed temporally due to the virus. Thank you  |
