A:AnswerYes it will work. Do you plan on connecting the units wired or wireless?
One way might be to connect a switch off the router unit and then use the nodes as wired APs. It would reserve some bandwidth for all those bandwidth hogs if use simultaneously.
A more expensive option is the ZenWiFi AX Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi. It has 4-ports per node so you can wire local devices and mesh between two physical nodes.
I have used ASUS for over a decade.
A:AnswerI have Xfinity and it works fine. I have the router paired with a Motorola Modem MB8600. After about six months of very unreliable service - I've managed to go nearly three months without an outage. Xfinity must have finally found the bad wires in the neighborhood. :)
A:AnswerCOVID forced a lot of people to update their home network. Best Buy keeps receiving new inventory. It has not been discontinued. There may be a newer version soon that supports WiFi6E but it will be pricy for quite a while.
A:AnswerYes, RT-AX88U is a 4x4 dual-band Wi-Fi router that provides 160MHz bandwidth and 1024-QAM for dramatically faster wireless connections. With a total networking speed of about 6000Mbps — 1148Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 4804Mbps on the 5GHz band — RT-AX88U is 2.3X faster than 802.11ac 4x4 dual-band routers.
A:AnswerASUS provides a very robust web-based interface for their routers. You can monitor the overall network and drill down to specific nodes. I suggest downloading one of teh User Manuals and reviewing the features to see if the ASUS design meets your needs.
Trend Micro has been very affective in identifying and blocking malicious sites. It Browser User Interface (BUI) enables you to view threats my node and frequency.
A:AnswerIt shows online and when it's able to ship to store. When I walked into the store I did not see a tab on the shelf that shows this product. Either it's always out of stock or only available when you buy online and ship to you or best buy. Research it and just order online. You can always return it if you don't like it. Faster than waiting for it to pop up on the shelf.
