I'm looking at upgrading my router for my Unifi 500Mbps connection. My desktop is connected via LAN but there are a lot of devices so an upgrade may be useful. I am thinking of a router in the RM450-550 range. I came across the RT-AC86U even if its a bit over the budget. What's the review for this router?

I'm guessing then that you would not hesitate to recommend the 86U?
