Cool router, pretty good speeds you got going. Good to hear that your connection is now stable, I have it when my WiFi drops out.
+Darren Gator All good here :D have a great weekend Darren.
NEW GEN router, ROOTER!
🤓👍🏻
Might have to check this one out myself. Thanks Dave!
+CG AWC Channel It is a great piece of kit.
Awesome unit. I'm on virgin 200meg broadband but my reality speeds using my standard router a few rooms away ranges from 10-150. Only my wired tests I peak around 212 meg. But I used wired connection just 1% of my day to day use. I can't be the only person with this drop issue. Only thing good about my line is that it's stable. Great video Dave.
+Rui Abreu I am on the 200Mbps service now and wireless with this router consistency get 150-160.
Why are you hiding your LAN IP addresses? LAN IP Addresses are private ip addresses (not routeable over the internet).
Even if someone had your WAN IP Address, the worst thing they could do is to see where you live (very innacurate, within a margin of what, 5~20 KM?)
It's just a habit.
I can't get virgin just now but i would find it irritating that you pay for 200meg but at peak time you don't get near. At least on BT Infinity you always get the synced speed.
+Paul Brown This was tested on their 152Mbps service. I just got 200 and peak at 204.
i bout my asus ac68u a year or two ago. It replaced my Apple Time Capsule. Its a great router although i never got time machine to work properly. It wouldn't do auto back ups.
+Paul Brown Same here, but sorting with their tech support.
Had one of these in my house until it started effecting my smart lighting devices. Removed it and now the internet and smart bulbs seem to work fine. Waste of £179
Thanks for sharing your experience with this.
brought this yesterday not opened box yet
will post once install it today
+Tom Hudson :D awesome :D share your experience here Tom.
Hi, do you happen to know why I cannot exceed ~100mbps on 2.4Ghz on this router on "new" devices even in close distance?
Sorry I am not sure.
Omg seriously I don't know what to do with all these options? I need to do a course!
:D:D:D
Great video, Dave. I have the AC67U and I've been very happy with it. One minor annoyance is the time machine function is unreliable for me, how have you been finding it and how do you have it set up?
We got it thinking it would replace our Orbi's seemingly poor wifi connections with our newly updated Spectrum 1gb/s speed internet. Instead, it's almost as bad!
I've played with all the various settings, seen on the internet, and nothing, if anything worse! I can't get a wireless speed for more than 200 mb/s. If I plug the same laptop into router, I get 800-900 mb/s. Not sure what to do as I'm pulling the remainder of my hair out!
There are so many factors in good wireless, it could even be as simple as a kitchen appliance interfering with it.
@@geekanoids I'd tend to agree, but in this case the router is exposed, and we are less than 10 feet away(tiny apartment) and this router is supposed to be the EXTREME working in a house without much interruptions. I just don't understand why it's such a drop in wifi signal :( .
That looks like it fell off Batmans tumbler lol. Very stealthy looking. Huge range of ports on it, you could run a small office off it. Similar upload to me but your download and ping are insanely faster than mine.
+Robert Bell :D 204Mbps now ;D
Hi what are you using now, please?
Currently using AmpliFi.
Great video Dave, I have the older model Asus Router and its the best router I have owned yet..
+James Burgun Nice one James, this is my best experience yet too.
Great video Dave. Why did you block your ISP I was quite curious to see what ISP had that speeds.
I'm sure his ISP is virgin as no other network offers beyond 100mb
Anyone know if this works with BT? Currently have BT start Hub 2??? Is it as easy as replacing the current router with this one?
This would work. You would not replace. Instead you would put your current router into modem only mode. Then use this for all the wireless routing.
Looks like something out of Star Wars!!!!!
+deans6571 It took off and disappeared this morning.
This router has so much wifi 5ghz issue its almost non usable without some tweaks and tests in the bandwidth/channel settings.
Thanks for sharing your experience with this.
@@geekanoids Turned out my router was faulty. Exchanged to a new unit and it works as it should now.
Is AC86U a better router compared to AC88U in terms of signal strength and wifi speed? I notice the ram/flash (i forgot which one) is higher on the AC86U. Am trying to decide on either one of them cos not worth getting a Wifi6 router now. Other than my huawei p40 pro, nothing is on wifi6. I think buying a high end router which is 3/4 years old is sill good for today's tech
Sorry I have not tested that other model.
Hi. Thanks for the review. Do you know if this router supports dynamic link aggregation? I just bought a Asustor NAS with 2x gigabit ethernet connection and I would like connect this to my Windows PC. Thanks for your help.
Sorry I no longer have this to check.
Hello,i'm using R7800X4S MU-MIMO and Wave 2,the GUI and option not optimal with Asus.I changhed with my home VDSL Asus RT-87U the best my Netgear R7800X4S?Asus have optional Bridge LAN and access my ISP,just? Sorry my english i'm italian.
the bigest probem with this router: not stable and the AIshare doesn't work!
Thanks for sharing your experience with this.
Nice review... Good info.
+Nizam Tauke Thank you so much, have a wonderful day.
You would be better with tp link 100 Mbps router
Many thanks.
@@geekanoids welcome bro😊
Dave great video as usual. What was your speed before this upgrade. That is a awesome download speed but not so great upload speed. We don't get Virgin where I live so I am using BT Infinity 2 and my speeds are around 78 download and 18 upload
+Harry will I gained about 10-15% in broadband, but far more on network data transfers.
+Geekanoids thanks for replying but is it worth that much expense because as far as I know I'm getting the max speed I can. It looks very threatening .......I can't see my wife being pleased with it sitting in our Hall....lol
My isis roto rooter goes zoom zoom.
Good speed
+Computer-Boy Cheers :D
How much mbps does it have
Sorry I no longer have this.
Why modem only mode? Surely this can be used as a direct replacement for the isp provided one?
My ISP supply a router/modem, so I put that in modem only mode. This product does not include a modem, it is a router only.
Geekanoids ahhh I see this is the RT model they have a released a DSL version too that can be used as a direct replacement as it contains both the router and modem.
:D Good to know they did a new model.
£300 for a router... it better cook me dinner and triple my connection speed.
+MrCoombzy It cooked me breakfast :D does that count?
How stable is this router? I've been seeing a lot of reviews on various routers where people are saying a connection dies, the router dies, frequently reboots.
I find it superb.
How long has it lasted you so far?
Lasting me 3 years so far. Use Merlin WRT software for a more stable system.
can I use from 200 meter distance? couple of house is there between 200m
Doubtful.
can u tell me the real range of the router?
Will this improve my ping?
It’s a possibility.
Hi, I am currently on a 100Mbit fibre optic internet connection and I have a business router installed with more than 50 devices connected and everything runs really smoothly. However, next week I am moving to a new house and unfortunately there is no fibre optic line in the area yet :(
I ordered an ADSL connection of 20Mbit (technician came to install telephone line and he did a testing and told me that I won't get more than 11Mbit). In my place I will be using about 15 devices that use wireless network (from laptops and tablets to printers and kitchen devices). I know for a fact that my ISP's router will be really crappy and won't manage to handle all these devices together so I was thinking of purchasing the ASUS RT-AC88U.
I am not really doing online gaming (probably a few times a month as I am busy) but I am currently doing really heavy HD streaming in both laptops all day. Do you think even with such a slow connection this router worths the money? I guess it's still a good investment for the future as when fibre optic arrives it will be more useful but my question is: will I see any difference with my current slow internet speed?
Thanks a lot and keep up the great work!
+solidsn2011 It is less important, but offers up so many other features, including a really robust WiFi connection and security features.
Thanks for replying!
How does this compare to the netgear nighthawk x8?
+S. Crago No idea personally, I opted for this due to the feature set and the 8 ethernet ports.
how do i set up my phone as in VoIP
It doesn't have a phone port :(
This isnt realy a voip modem
I assume your telephone is through your ISP, in which case they typically provide you with a free modem for digital telephone. You can have two modems. One specifically for internet and the other for phone. All you need is a coax splitter and to call your ISP and let them know you want the internet provisioned for the secondary modem. This is a router though and VOIP never needs to go to your router anyway.
does this suport nbn
Hi. I've got talk talk fibre broadband. But their router is kinda crap. Was looking at getting this, does it replace the router I have or connect to it like your virgin one? If it connects to it do I have to put it a modem mode or something?
Yes, into Modem mode.
Geekanoids cool, I'll look into it. Thanks for replying.
Have you tried it with a VPN? I'm looking to replace my Asus RT-AC68U. It's been excellent but it cant quite handle VPNs. I have Virgin Vivid 200 broadband and for the most part I get the advertised speeds but when I'm connected to my VPN via the routers built in firmware I can only get about 22Mbps download. Do you think the router upgrade would help much?
Not tried with VPN and sorry, not experienced enough in this area to answer if this would help.
No problem.
Do you have any issues with the 5Ghz missing after while??
I did not have that issue.
Can you upgrade the antennas to bigger ones?
I don't think that is something Asus support, but maybe some third party ones would fit.
Yes, just unscrew the current ones and replace them.
is it worth upgrading ac68u?
I found this to work extremely well.
Geekanoids but how much is the Performance increase
i have now rtac68u combined with pce-ac68 and im Not sure if i should invest 400 bucks to Upgrade to 88 series. i Know get about 400 mbit/s but got Gigabit fiber
The upgrade in speed from your current system will be minimal. I found stability in connection was a big plus for me.
Need a budget review £100 please
+MrArsenal1612 :D
I'm going to purchase this rooter.
:D
:D nice choice.
Geekanoids Thanks mate a few weeks using it now and it's great will never go back to using a telco internet supplied router.
Geekanoids is it expensive to use howmuch a month
Hi what's the iOS app called?
+JohnyTechReview Asus Router.
+Geekanoids Thank you sire, I found it but need to update firmware I think.
I genuinely do not recommend this product, especially if you buy this product because of that "free" WTFast.
It's a scam. Only 4 different games offered, and they dont get updated. To make things worst, all those 4 games offered such as LoL, WoW, CSGo, and I forgot the other one.. have their own direct access GPN that automatically connect whenever you play the game.
Essentially, there's absolutely no point of having WTFast on the router at all. It just connects you to the built in GPN that doesn't need WTFast to activate. it's a scam.
Thanks for sharing your experience with this.
How good is Wi-Fi Range?? 40-50 Ft
Also whats a Good Modem you recommend thats not too Expensive??
About 50ft is good.
I use good ole powerline Ethernet ,
+christian crow Great choice.
+Geekanoids yeah I used a TP link in my house which the wires became newer for the add on to house and if didn't support this , I am using briteview 500mbps.
just using for increeased download speed for ps4
rooter root root root.
:D
my client list shows up as mac address, any ideas why? im in bridge mode as well from a modem.
Not sure, sorry.
how much a month does it cost
Around £35.
Geekanoids eh thats a lot tbh but its 1/3 of what i make a month so yeeaa btw if you're thinkin that i dont make much im 13 im gonna go with getting a new mouse screen and some games first
Geekanoids do walls and objects affect range and do i have to buy a fast internet via cabels to my house
This has got to be the worst piece of s.... equipment that I have ever owned. Firmware update I have lost 5 Ghz network completely. No amount of resets fixed that. Rolled back the router to old firmware, all wifi capabilities gone. Tried 4 other firmwares over 20 times re flashing using Asus recovery utility, no ping, no DHCP nothing. Only power light on. Managed to get only interface back up and running.
Sorry to hear that.
Have you tried merlin yet??
Come on, that's still customer grade crap, get a pfsense router, a managed switch(preferably cisco or HP), and some Aironet or UniFi APs, then we're talking serious networking.
+ImpiantoFacile And maybe throw in a RADIUS Server on pfSense for security
+ImpiantoFacile Works fine for me.
+Geekanoids Just to point that out, I wasn't being aggressive, just constructive criticism, you won't believe how much faster your network goes with enterprise gear, especially under heavy loads, and it's not that expensive either: you can find a lot of dismissed server stuff on ebay for cheap.
Jesus Christ man, its ''Asus'' not isis and ''router'' not rooter.
He said ASUS - pronounced "ay-sus". That's how its pronounced.
Same as Router - pronounced "roo-ter". Like a route to somewhere.
That's how a English person pronounces words in English.
Absolutely no one says rooter ... it's a rout-er. That U is very important.
vfw2
Route is "root" in England. So Router is "rooter"

Я за асус 💋💋👄👄❤❤❤❤
Roota
:D
i cannot for love of money open the ports
ive opened them but they still dont work so ive had to go back to my 20 pound router as i can open ports fine on that
wish i could send this back
virtual/port forwarding
i need to open ports
7777 32330 27715 27716
+Tom Hudson I would try contacting Asus tech support.
is that a free number :)
300 quid for a router and i cant open the ports
Yet mydlink DIR-810L opened them first time.
I dont need to enable DMZ or anything like that just to open ports do i ?
Update - ASUS customer support is .............................
I rang 01442 265548
Spoke to someone on the line who said that their people were busy and they would ring me back in 30 mins on the number i provided.
Well 3 hours later and still no call.
And to think i gave them 5 on the service poll which came after the call :)
+Tom Hudson That's not great, reaching out on Twitter any help?
dont use twitter
They got my number and still not rung me back either.
over 24 hrs later - what does that really say about customer support esp on a high end purchase.
