Its super overkill for that.lol.

Using Asus RT-Ac87u on my 100 mbps unifi and due for turbo upgrade to 800mbps before end of this year. Superb performance and future ready to support 800mbps connection and what I love in Asus is 3 years warranty.

Ikr lol
My last router got fried by lightning so i got this last year xD

Asus RT-AC88U. So far so good.

Upgrade last year because old router too small to fit server rack

hello there...may i know how good is the wifi coverage? thinking of buying AC88U once my unifi turbo upgrade to 500mbps, do you think it will be enough to cover a 3 storey house when the router is put in the middle of the 2nd floor?

Not going to happen, you need an AP, or a few AP.

i used AC86U with my streamyx 8Mbps earlier this year and it was so goooooood..
all the intermittent disconnection, no coverage, etc. was replaced with a stable wifi & VDSL connection (using old Aztech modem as bridge).

overkill, but if you have the $$$ it's worth it.

weii.. bapak expensive mehhh. Hahahah. Worth it laa. I got turbo-ed also using trash can.. bhahahha.

I had the AC5300 (big and bulky, and the power brick is literally a brick) but sold it off after using the the AC88U because it's more stable. Coupled with 2 AC68Us around the house.

I recently got a TP-Link RE650 to extend the range outside to the patio area.. Seems to do a good job as well.

Yes I think it will suffice. I have mine on the lower ground level at one corner of the house and it covers everything except the very last room of a 3 storey house as well. The bonus and thing that I utilize and love about it is the 8 LAN ports unlike most other routers. Helps that I got it at a great price in Singapore too.

good to hear that! Will most probably buy once my unifi is turbo-ed...thanks anyway!

Bro since you have 1 AC5300 and 2 AC68U why don’t try on AiMesh?

what about mesh type like Tp-link Deco or Asus Lyra?

better than AP or not?

That is also AP actually, but AP connected via wireless backhaul. An AP with LAN backhaul or with LAN connection is much better than wireless mesh.

thank you explaining this two thing

I'm using AiMesh but the TP-Link RE650 was a cheaper alternative that I plugged near the corner wall facing outside.. at least I don't need to have wires dangling to a separate router.
