Of all the WiFi routers we've tested, the ASUS RT-AC88U Wireless-AC3100 is the cream of the crop. This router is a high-quality model with a comprehensive assortment of functions and features and is simple and intuitive to operate to boot. Regarding 5 GHz throughput, it tied for first place and made it to the second spot for our 2.4 GHz series of tests. 
One downside to this router is that its capable range is average, which can be disappointing considering its higher price tag. Still, if you don't mind paying top dollar for a router that will offer you exceptional streaming performance, and don't need a device with exceptional range, look no further than the ASUS.

 You can even agregate two of them into a single super fast connection or use one of them as a second one port in case you have a two separate broadband connection at home. Now as a Wi-Fi router, this one you can deliver up to 2167 megabit per second on the hook frequency band and up to 1,000 megabit per second on a 2.4 gigahertz frequency band. Now obviously those are on paper in real world, there are no client of that speed existing yet, but in testing, it did deliver quite fast performance up to 700 megabits per second and it had very good range to my previous routers from Asus The RT AC Elliott you has a robust, easy and fun to use interface and a slew of features including the ability to keep your home network safe online and a set up game boost features designed specifically for gamers

The Asus RT-AC88U has more than just a ton of LAN ports

 On the 30-foot test, the RT-AC88U scored an impressive 302Mbps, indicating very good range performance. The Linksys EA9200 and the Netgear R7800 turned in scores of 255Mbps and 247Mbps, respectively, while the D-Link DIR-890L/R scored 310 Mbps.

8Mbps, and the TP-Link Archer C2600 averaged 132Mbps. The Netgear R7800 turned in the fastest close-proximity MU-MIMO test score with 210Mbps. At 30 feet, the RT-AC88U averaged 80Mbps, beating the Amped Athena AC2600 (54Mbps), the TP-Link Archer C2600 (60.9Mbps), and the ASRock G10 (48

Asus RT-AC88U Dual-Band Router Review

Factory firmware will not hold an IPv6 connection on Comcast

Fighting with an ISP.

Great

 Initially thinking Amazon's Server was down, and I started checking and actually found the 2.4G radio in the 88U was not transmitting! Called Asus and they had me Re-Boot and insure I had the latest Firmware (I did) and it started working. Hung up the phone and thanked the CSR. Just a Hiccup? No! Within 5 Minutes the 2

... I suggested that for all the wasted time I spent on the phone and hours going through failed suggestions on how to correct the problems plus 3 trips in Returns to UPS that Asus pay the difference if they think this was the only way to supply me with a reliable, working Router

 I ordered the RT-AC88U instead and for the first 2 weeks, it was great,and I loved the 8 onboard Ethernet Ports. Then one morning we found none of our Smart Home Alexa Devices would respond. Initially thinking Amazon's Server was down, and I started checking and actually found the 2.4G radio in the 88U was not transmitting! Called Asus and they had me Re-Boot and insure I had the latest Firmware (I did) and it started working

UPDATE 3.28.19 -Asus Contacted Me -/ 2.4G  FAILURE is a Fact that Asus has now acknowledged.

  Results: I can't tell you if the speed is really much faster since I just installed last night. And I probably need to get an X-Box to give it an acid test (assuming gaming requires the most connection power). But this thing's coverage is insane! When I finished setting up the Access Point in the garage, I just realized I have full bars wifi signal of the AC88U SSID! That means it punches through several drywalls and one concrete wall and almost 50 feet distance. It makes the setup of AP seems dumb, but I still want to have a router in the front as the portal

 Cost efficiency: $225 a router to extend the wifi range. Of course I get to hard-wired with many devices and probably get better speed.  Installation: I thought all I have to do is just swap out the old router. But it still took me almost three hours to finish the whole setup

 But those cables are really giving me headache). And it also includes the time I have to move my desktop and RT-AC66U to the garage to set up the Access Point.  Results: I can't tell you if the speed is really much faster since I just installed last night. And I probably need to get an X-Box to give it an acid test (assuming gaming requires the most connection power)

Penetrating walls and strong singal

 I wouldn't spend $100 more for the AC5300, since there aren't many devices that can take advantage of its features and speeds, and a tri-band router is overkill.

0GHz bands of 1300Mbps each. For most users, a dual-band router is enough, especially if you just have a few devices.  On my old router (a Linksys wireless-N), I was getting a download speed of around 73 Mbps in a room 30 ft away from the router. With this router, I was getting over 300 Mbps, which is the same as my wired connection

One of the best AC wireless routers on the market

. so far! Coverage in my apartment is definitely better and connections are faster.  My remaining concern with the Asus is reliability as the failure rate within a year reported in Amazon reviews seems very high. A product with more 1-star than 4-star reviews is worrisome, but I'm hoping for the best
