Upgraded from previous Asus router RT-AC87R that was probably bought around 2015. With so many more devices connected, the old router simply didn't have enough horse power. Connectivity was suffering, with devices falling off or taking forever to connect. Also, started noticing buffering on video streaming.
Have been running the new Asus router (RT-AX86U Pro (AX5700)) for a full week now, and am totally impressed. All the connectivity issues are gone, and the range is amazing! I have a large house with multiple devices OUTSIDE (cameras, light bulbs, outlets - all from Wyze) and they all stay connected now with no problems whatsoever. I have one camera running on an extender, but doubt if I even need it anymore. All devices inside connect no problem, and wi-fi range even upstairs/downstairs in remote corners is no issue at all.
Paired with an updated Motorola modem (MB8600) I got last year, I am now (finally) able to take advantage of the 1G internet connection coming into my house. As you can see on the picture from my phone (!), I am running at 950 Mbps down and 50+ Mbps up. Truly amazing! Previously, my hardwired PC was lucky to get to 550-600 Mbps, and my phone on wi-fi was WAY lower.
Setup was a breeze (especially since I was familiar with Asus already), and the phone app works really well, especially now that you can connect remotely now even when away from home to monitor. I am not that techy (slightly above average), so if I can figure this out, so can you. Just keep your wi-fi name and password the same, and all your devices will reconnect quickly as soon as you fire up the new router....presto! I was worried I was going to have to reconnect 60+ devices, but they all connected fine. Worst case, you may have to restart a couple devices which is fine - just didn't want to have to go through entire setup process.
If you're an over-analyzer like me, stop your search and just go with this model. You won't be disappointed! I purchased in January 2024 and did not receive any compensation for the product or this review. I rarely write reviews, but was so impressed and pleased with this product that I wanted to share!

I have one camera running on an extender, but doubt if I even need it anymore.

En la configuración web, es también bueno esta la versión básica y la versión pro para configurar Internamente para los más avanzándos en conceptos de configuración del dispositivo. Sin duda un buen dispositivo que vale la pena el gasto? Estuve viendo otros routers Wi-Fis por meses y este me convenció más por que también tiene wpa3 y versiones anteriores wpa/wpa2 y demás. Así que funciona desde los cels más viejitos hasta los más recientes con WiFi6. Eh ahí también por que lo compre ya que otros Wi-Fis tienen según buenas características pero se reinician solos o solo traen de seguridad wpa2 y pues prefiero seguridad wpa3. En pocas palabras me convenció y muyyyy buenas especificaciones y muy buen router que sin duda en un futuro seguiría comprado esta marca ASUS. A me gusto mucho el manejo de su interfaz en iOS. Bien ASUS jejeje
Si tienen alguna duda pues déjenla en los comentarios y pues les ayudo si tienen alguna duda antes de su compra o en cosas de configuración. Pero si vale la pena esta compra.
