RT-AX88U is too big and can't afford to put on my router shelf. I does not need a router with 8 LAN ports because my router was plugged directly to a 16-port gigabit switch.
I will wait for RT-AX86U in the future.
I never said you need it
I want RT-AX88U for several reasons
1. I don't need tri band on the GT-AC5300, dual band is more than enough
2. I need Merlin, I don't like stock ASUS firmware. And Merlin himself said he will never support the GT models
3. The processor used inside the GT-AC5300 is also the same processor used inside the RT-AX88U which is Quad Core 1.8GHz CPU
4. The RT-AX88U also uses 1GB RAM same like the GT-AC5300
5. Yes, I really need the 8 ports
