The Asus RT-AC88U router has eight superfast Gigabit LAN ports
Speedy Wi-Fi performance and lots of useful features. Its Web interface is smartly designed and easy to use
After running hundreds of speed tests and measuring Wi-Fi coverage over more than 20,000 square feet of yard, I'm confident we've put the RT-AC88U and RP-AC68U through their paces. We may have even pushed them to their limits in some areas. While I would...
Class leading performance, Great software, Lot of advanced adjustability, Eight LAN ports, MU-MIMO support
Expensive, Occasionally lost Wi-Fi connectivity on iPhone, USB 3.0 port placement is annoying
The previous two MU-MIMO routers we tested were both very good, but each one was missing a key ingredient that would have elevated it to Editor's Choice status. For the Netgear router we disliked its software interface, and for the Linksys router its perf...

Loaded with ports and management features, Multi-User Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) enabled, Speedy throughput performance in testing,
Expensive, Middling file-transfer speeds on our tests
The Asus RT-AC88U is a pricey dual-band router that is packed with features. It supports MU-MIMO technology and delivered solid 5GHz throughput in our tests...

When it comes to home networking most of us find our ISP provided routers to be sub-par, either providing us with inadequate WiFi range or performance or simply slowing down under the pressure of our many wired and wireless devices.High end routers are ex...
Almost a Gigabit of wireless throughput when paired with another in bridge mode
MUMIMO not supported, Meh USB 3.0 storage throughput, Run with the pack wireless performance
ASUS fanbois have been all worked up about the RT-AC88U, judging from SNBForums discussions. But neither our chamber nor real life tests provide reason for such excitement, at least on the basis of wireless performance. What Forum posters seem most excite...
The Asus RT-AC88U router has eight superfast Gigabit LAN ports, speedy Wi-Fi performance and lots of useful features. Its Web interface is smartly designed and easy to use
The router's USB 3.0 port is awkwardly placed, and when coupled with an external hard drive, its NAS performance is just average
You'll pay a lot for the Asus RT-AC88U, but it has everything you'd want in a router. If you have the money, this is the router to get...
After all the tests, we can say that the ASUS RT-AC88U is a very impressive router for a dual-band type. Overall, it is extremely fast and has excellent admin software for both mobile devices and desktop; we also liked that it features a game-specific Qua...
The RT-AC88U is easily one of the best feature packed routers I've seen in some time. The eight gigabit ports instantly made it one of my favourites as the lack of ports on modern day routers is one of my biggest bugbears and more manufacturers should tak...

Abstract: The result is feature-packed routers that often go far beyond what other dedicated networking companies churn out and this RT-AC88U is another example. It's a follow-up to last year's RT-AC87U, which bumped the theoretical top wireless speed from 1,733Mb...
