ASUS AiMesh offers a very interesting alternative for mesh systems such as its own Lyra but based on standard routers. We tested the special AiMesh firmware with two ASUS RT-AC86U routers. The results are very promising: the performance is far better than...
Are you looking for an 802.11ac router? Then you'll be able to choose from a plethora of routers, since pretty much all 802.11ac models that have been released since 2012, are still readily available. This does imply that there hasn't been a lot of chan...

One of the best routers for gaming.Beyond jumping to a wireless mesh system, which brings problems of its own, this router offers some of the best performance you can ask for. It's a great choice for anyone looking to squeeze out all the potential from th...
All in all, the Asus RT-AC88U is the top performing router that we have tested, earning the title of Best Overall Router and an Editors' Choice award. While this model didn't take home the top spot in our throughput or range tests, it should provide more...

Features and PerformanceThe Netgear X4S and the Asus RT-AC88U are devices that appeared before the WiFi mesh systems really had a chance to take off and to manage to pose a serious threat to the one-unit device in favour of a multi-unit setup (which it do...
Fast data transfer rates, Good range, Feature packed, Easy to set up and use,
Relatively pricey, Could be overkill if you have a slower Internet connection
On balance, the Asus RT-AC88U is near impossible to beat. It's blazingly fast, relatively easy to set up and use, and about as feature-laden a router as you are likely to find. In addition to terrific wireless performance, its support for wired networkin...
