The Asus RT-AC86U had the WPS and the WiFi On/Off buttons together on the right side, while the RT-AX86U has positioned the WPS button on the left side and the LED On/Off button on the right – everything else can be found on the rear side of the routers. The RT-AC86U has its LED On/Off button in the middle, while the four Gigabit LAN ports lie on the right side and the Gigabit WAN port, the two USB ports (2.0 and 3.0), as well as the Power button and the Power port sit on the left side (there is also a camouflaged Reset button within the cut-out pattern). The ports and connectors on the Asus RT-AX86U feel more relaxed (more space in between them), so you can find the Power button next to the Power port, a small recessed Reset button, two USB ports (both 3.0), four Gigabit LAN ports (from which the first is a Gaming port – will have the highest priority) and there is one WAN port, as well as a 2.5GbE port which can either work as LAN or WAN. Online learning, including Khan academy®, Udemy®, Coursera®, TED®, VIPKiD®, 51Talk®, XDF®, Xueersi® Verdict: It’s a bit surprising that there aren’t major differences between the two routers in terms of internal hardware which shows just how well equipped the Rt-AC86U was for its time. But, the Asus RT-AX86U is still an overall improvement in this department as well, so it also wins this round. Features and Performance

Patched several command injection vulnerabilities, CVE-2023-38031, CVE-2023-38032, CVE-2023-38033,CVE-2023-39236,CVE-2023-39237, Thanks to Jincheng Wang from X1cT34m Laboratory of Nanjing University of Posts and TelecommunicationsThose people who work-from-home & learn-from-home will greatly benefit from this new feature with optimized streaming experiences. There was bandwidth to spare with our informal saturation test where I stress the router by listening to the BBC World Service on an internet radio station while playing a variety of videos and moving data onto and off of a network-attached storage system. The audio and video came through skip free and there was no noticeable lag. Setup The actual transfer speed of USB 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, and/or Type-C will vary depending on many factors including the processing speed of the host device, file attributes and other factors related to system configuration and your operating environment. Verdict: Despite being limited by the vertical-only position, I did find the Asus RT-AC86U to be more refined than the RT-AX58U and there is just a lot more attention to details design-wise – the removable antennas are also a plus. At the same time, the Asus RT-AX58U is a lot smaller and it does have a neutral look, so it’s easier to go unnoticed in a living-room. Other than that, both routers have the same number of ports (the RT-AC86U does have an additional USB port, although I doubt many will make use of it) and neither overheats, so this round ends in a tie.

We disliked Verdict: Looking at the internal hardware of each router, there are some differences for the WiFi chips and yes, the RT-AX58U has a newer CPU, but it should not perform that differently from the dual-band BCM4906, so this round goes to the Asus RT-AC86U.Here's how the Asus RT-AC86U performed in our suit of benchmark tests. All tests performed in a three-floor terrace surrounded by generally busy Wi-Fi channels, on a 200+Mbps connection: The RT-AC86U is a 4x4 AC2900 router powered by a 1.8GHz dual-core CPU and 512MB of RAM. It uses NitroQAM (1024-QAM) modulation technology to deliver potential throughput speeds of up to 750Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 2167Mbps on the 5GHz band and supports Multi User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) data streaming, which delivers data to compatible clients simultaneously rather than sequentially, and beamforming, which sends data directly to clients rather than over a broad spectrum. Actual data throughput and WiFi coverage will vary from network conditions and environmental factors, including the volume of network traffic, building material and construction, and network overhead, result in lower actual data throughput and wireless coverage.

Next, the Asus RT-AX58U supports the 1024-QAM technology that has the role of improving the throughput capabilities of the router and I know that this technology is a highlighted feature for the WiFi 6, but Asus has been taking advantage of the NitroQAM (1024-QAM) for a while now and yes, the Asus RT-AC86U does have it implemented as well. Install/Update ASUS Router App (Android supports later than 1.0.0.5.44; iOS supports later than 1.0.0.5.41) You can use ethernet cable to connect AiMesh router LAN port and AiMesh node WAN port first and run the adding node process to build the mesh system. Its top speed of 667.8Mbps was achieved with our client at 15 feet, and the Asus is 23 percent faster than the Linksys WRT32X but marginally slower than the TP-Link Archer C2300's 682.3Mbps at the same distance. It moved 636.5Mbps at 5 feet, more than 50 percent less than the Archer C2300's class-leading 963.6Mbps at the same distance. The aggressive design of the case, and its inflexible form factor, won't be for everyone, and for all its tooltips the extent of Asus' firmware is probably way overblown for most.

The RT-AC86U's throughput of 603.5Mbps and 589.6Mbps at 50 feet and 100 feet lagged behind the Archer C2300's 913.8Mbps and 613.2Mbps. It, however, outperformed the Norton Core's 601.4Mbps and 483.8Mbps at these distances. Kereskedelmi kategóriás biztonság– A Tend Micro™ technológiájára épülő AiProtection blokkolja és semlegesíti a hálózatra kapcsolódó okoseszközöket veszélyeztető fenyegetéseket Up front, the RT-AX86U has 10 white LEDs that show it’s turned on, connected to the Internet and is transmitting on the 2.4- and 5GHz bands. There are activity indicators for each of the Ethernet ports and whether its WPS system has been engaged. It can be quite a light show at night, but the router has a button for turning off the lights.

The RT-AX86U did well at punching a strong Wi-Fi signal through walls and ceilings, with scores of 698.5Mbps available through a wall 25-feet from the router and 615.7Mbps to a floor above. This can’t compare to the Netgear RAX80’s 1.07Gbps and the TP-Link AX6000’s 744.7Mbps for the wall penetration test but roughly matches the Netgear XR1000’s 614.8Mbps. Well, more like out of view because, while the RT-AC86U proudly wears its red stripes on the front panel, the Asus RT-AX86U is a bit shy regarding its gaming abilities (unlike the RT-AX82U which is one of the flashiest ‘gaming’ routers that Asus ever designed), so it has positioned a red plastic section pointing downwards (also doubles down as a ventilation area). The Asus RT-AC86U had the same ventilation cut-outs as RT-AC68U but, due to a far more efficient power handling, the router operated at an adequate temperature (unlike its predecessor) and I noticed that the RT-AX86U is far more generous in terms of vent cut-outs. So, it’s not only the rear section that’s now covered by a weird pattern of longitudinal holes (looks very crowded), but the top part of the front panel will also allow the air to flow inside the case. This way, the Asus RT-AX86U, just like the RT-AC86U always works at a proper temperature, showing no signs that it may overheat. The LEDs are positioned in the same place on both wireless routers and I saw the same four LAN LEDs, the WAN LED, the Power and the two WiFi LEDs, but the RT-AX86U has additional two indicators, one for WPS and the other for the 2.5Gbps port. Support IPSec IKE v1 and IKE v2, and you can use the Windows 10 native VPN client program to connect to the router's IPSec VPN server. The Windows 10 new FAQ is in https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1033576 And while the UK and US prices are very reasonable, the markup in Australia is a bit much. Final verdict

The Asus RT-AC86U is advertised as an AC2900-class router, which means that it does feature a maximum theoretical data transfer rate of 2,167 Mbps on the 5GHz band, while on the 3.4GHz band, it features a maximum theoretical data transfer rate of 750 Mbps. The Asus RT-AX58U is advertised as an AX3000-class router, suggesting that the maximum theoretical data transfer rate on the 5GHz band is 2,402 Mbps and on the 2.4GHz band is 574 Mbps. Verdict: I do like the slim profile of the RT-AC86U and while it clearly has everything that is required from an excellent WiFi 5 router, the Asus RT-AX86U is simply better – sure, both have a great airflow, there are all the expected ports, but the extra 2.5GbE port that can work as either WAN or LAN and the two USB 3.0 ports ensure that the Asus RT-AX86U wins this round. Internal Hardware Upgraded sqlighte and resolved CVE-2020-11656 / CVE-2019-19646 / CVE-2019-8457 / CVE-2020-11655 / CVE-2018-20505 / CVE-2019-16168 / CVE-2019-19645 / CVE-2020-13435 / CVE-2020-13631 / CVE-2020-13434 The WiFi 6 standard does come with some significant improvements over the last generation, offering a more efficient use of the available bandwidth by relying on OFDMA and the MU-MIMO technology (which is pushed to 8×8), there is also noticeable improvement in the wireless speed performance department due to the 1024-QAM modulation and the range is also far better. The Asus RT-AX58U is a WiFi 6 router, but it’s just part of the draft stage (it’s not WiFi 6 certified) which means that you do get some of the available features, but it also means that very soon, you will see Asus routers with a better implementation of the newer technologies and with more features available.
