Product Information

Also, beamforming technology focuses your Wi-Fi on a device as it moves farther away, potentially creating a better signal.

It's built to stand up, with Gigabit ethernet ports and a WAN input on the rear along with a USB 2 and a super-fast USB 3. All current updated and modern 512mb ASUS routers use the same 370mb+ out of box (450+ with SW enabled). Our pings stayed solid, and we didn't notice any more lag than usual – we're confident that Asus' router will live up to your expectations if you're determined to game wirelessly. Shame, I don’t think it’s the router’s fault (and it’s out of warranty now anyway) but I have had it on different channels before without issue.

We hope to get this back to normal in the shortest possible time, we want you to know that we appreciate your patience during this time.

The router body was centered on the test chamber turntable with all antennas vertical as shown in the photo below. You might think the 86U’s antennas are too high for the chamber antennas to properly capture their signal.Product photos are for illustrative purposes and may not reflect the actual product that you receive. Handily, Asus has used that design space to include a bunch of buttons on the case for access to features which are normally tucked away in firmware – you can temporarily disable the unit's Wi-Fi radios – only two, sadly, with no excess 5GHz space for congestion relief – with a side button, and switch off its lights with a button on the rear. Do that over a cause of a few days, at different times of day, manually pick a channel for each test.
