Awesome router
I bought this router for a node to accompany my other ASUS router, just like this one, for my son's room. He has his Xbox and smart TV hooked to it directly. It also fills a void that we had in our network. So now the whole house is completely covered, with no slow/dead spots. Definitely recommend this router!! I have owned a few ASUS routers, and in my opinion, they are the best. Easy setup and the app and user interface is very user friendly.

Amazing Little Router!
I had been previously using an all in one combo AC1900 Nighthawk modem/router. The wifi was pretty spotty upstairs in the house until I got this Asus wifi router. I chose it after much research and deliberation, based on price, performance and reviews (had to order, was not stocked locally). What a big difference! Using the old AC1900 strictly set as a modem, and dedicated router, I went from getting 10% of my paid speed over wifi on my phone to actual speed of my ISP! Proof is in the photo. As long as you are okay with it standing upright and looking funny, it is totally worth it.

ASUS - RT-AC86U AC2900 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router
10/05/22-This is my first ASUS router. I wish that I had found them several years ago, because I love this router's range and speed. My signal strength stays at 100% since the setup on 09/21/22. Set up was easy for me. I followed the instructions on the quick start guide very closely and was finished with the setup within 30-45 minutes. I really love the interface of the mobile App. I can see current Wi-Fi traffic, internet speed, all settings, and can reboot the router from anywhere in the home. I've experienced a wireless reboot feature with AT&T's Smart Home Manager App, but my mother has never experienced that and I think that she's going to like it. When it comes to the speed, it is awesome. I didn't know that this is a gaming router and I think that this has something to do with the speed. I highly recommend this router and I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.

Best I’ve ever used
My old router had 30 mbps and after I installed this my wireless speed was over 200 mbps. It handles many devices and I use it with my ring doorbell that’s outside my house. I can see my phone connected to it three blocks away.
