    • Great Router - Robust packaging, long and wide range, strong performance
Style: RT-AC88U Pattern Name: Router
ASUS Dual-Band Wireless-AC3100 Gigabit Router (RT-AC88U) I got this router to upgrade my home network from my current Linksys WRT 610N which is a great router but was falling short on signal strength and range and was unable to cover all parts of my home. I live in a mid size 1880 sq ft apartment, my ISP's cable termination is in the living room. The WRT 610N, though a great router, was unable to service all the rooms and corners and I had blind spots all across my home. Also most of the devices I use at home support the WiFi-AC protocol and the WRT-610N belonged to the dual-band N generation. I bought the ASUS RT-AC88U, after carefully comparing its specs with competing products and mainly reading in detail the negative customer reviews about it all over the internet (and the positive one’s as well and the editor reviews). I expected the ASUS RT-AC88U to provide good range across my home and a robust network that can handle all kinds of traffic from internet, email, voice over VPN to video and audio. I must say I am not disappointed. Though it is early to comment as it’s been only a few days I have got it up and running, the results are really impressive. I don't have a corner in my home where the signal strength is any poorer than -55 dBm. More importantly, it displays almost the same signal strength everywhere (+/- 3-5 dBm) on both the 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands which I have not seen in any router I have owned before. Common WiFi wisdom says, wider the channel shorter the range. I am running 20 Mhz on my 2.4 Ghz channel and 80 Mhz on my 5 Ghz channel and I expected the range and signal strength of the 5 Ghz band to be a little short if not a lot shorter with the ASUS RT-AC88U. But I am positively surprised in this case. In fact the signal strength of the 5 Ghz band is mostly better at all distances. Now a few tips on how I have achieved the level of performance I am getting from my ASUS RT-AC88U - 1) Upgrade the router's firmware to the latest release, in offline mode, right out of the box and perform a factory reset after the firmware upgrade. 2) Do a manual install and choose your own config 3) In the 2.4 Ghz band choose 'N Only' as Wireless Mode (I do not have a device at home that does not run WiFi-N), select 20 Mhz as 'Channel bandwidth' and select 1, 6, or 11 as the "Control channel'. I am keeping it stopped down to 'Upto MCS 7' Modulation Scheme for now. 4) In the 5 Ghz band choose 'N/AC Mixed' as Wireless Mode, select 80 Mhz as 'Channel bandwidth' and select 153, 157 or 161 as the "Control channel'. I am keeping it stopped down to 'Upto MCS 9' Modulation Scheme for now. I will test the Modulation Schemes 'TurboQAM 256' (for 2.4 Ghz) and 'TurboQAM 1024' (for 5 Ghz) for a while before I decide to enable them permanently. I am also keeping the Multiuser MIMO and the Beamforming options "disabled' until I test them thoroughly. I will update this review in the coming days. Any comments based on experienced users and experts are welcome. ... show more

    • High performance router but may be too much for some households. Excellent router!
Style: RT-AC88U Pattern Name: Router
This router is one of the best routers that I have ever used. I came from an Asus RT-N56U router which worked great for a number of years in my apartment and then into my house. when I moved into the house, the coverage did not cover my entire house so I bought a second one for the other side which helped. After a while of inconsistent speeds I decided to switch routers. I decided to go with this router, the RT-AC88U. For starters, this router has excellent range. We have about a 2,500 sq.ft. house with a normal sized front and back yard. After initially setting the router up, I decided to go to every room of the house as well around the outside with my phone and see when the bars started to drop off. I can stand on every inch of my property including the basement and have just about a full signal strength with this router. I can still receive signal at my neighbors house (typical suburbia style houses). I was able to download music off of my hard drives on to my phones from the street out front of the house. I am impressed with the signal strength and the constancy that this thing has. File transfer speeds and connection speeds are no longer a problem now that I have this router. I have not experienced a slow day or any inconsistent connectivity speeds. We stream music, movies, TV shows, play games online, download music and movies, and use a VPN to work from home. There are 2 people in our house that both use the internet constantly and this router does not flinch. I no longer have to worry about slowing down the network when downloading things or streaming the game while someone is working from home. I am impressed by the consistent speed that this has over my previous routers that I have used. We have a 300Mbps download speed with a 20Mbps upload speed and we constantly get those speeds even during what would be considered peak usage hours in our area. We also had to update our modem as well but that is not a part of this review. The features on this router are similar to the features of the RT-N56U when logging into it. I feel that the GUI is easier to use and it feels smoother than in previous models (it could just be me). I am using a different DNS than what my ISP provides and limit my network to only use a certain IP range within a subnet and this router allows you to do that easily. I have not gone through every little thing on the router because it has been working so well but I do plan on going through and trying different options out in the coming months and plan on updating later on. The router does run a little warm to the touch but it is understandable with how powerful this thing is. In total, we have 3 smart TVs, 4 laptops, 3 cell phones. 2 desktops, 3 game consoles, 2 Amazon Echos, 1 Nest thermostat, 1 Roku, and 1 NAS all connected to this one router either wirelessly or wired (through an unmanaged switch on some) and this has outperformed any load that is put on it so far. This may be a bit overkill for some homes but is easily one of the best routers around if there are multiple people in the household that utilize a lot of bandwidth during a time when many people are trying to use the network. I certainly hope this router lasts quite a few years as I am totally happy with it and would recommend it if you are interested in tinkering with your network and/or have a normally heavy use on your network. So far, this is an excellent router and I hope to have an updated review a few months from now after more use and stress has been put on it. ... show more
