Abstract: The Asus RT-AX88U is one the first WiFi 6 router released on the market and it’s also one of the few to be WiFi 6 certified, so Asus wanted to make a lasting impression...
Worth a look if you're ready to upgrade to Wi-Fi 6.The Asus RT-AX88U is an excellent Wi-Fi 6 router and is a great way to future proof your home network even if you don't already have a lot of Wi-Fi 6 devices. It is only a dual-band router, but the higher...
Abstract: It's been a long, slow slog for the engineers developing Wi-Fi 6 chipsets and products. I've been in the thick of it, trying to develop Wi-Fi 6 test methods that can show whether these draft-standard products deliver on the benefits they promise. That eff...

Speedy performance, Easy installation, Uses the latest 802.11ax technology, Eight LAN ports, Robust QoS settings, Built-in malware protection,
Expensive, AX clients are not yet ubiquitous
The Asus RT-AX88U is the best Wi-Fi 6 router we've tested to date. It comes loaded with advanced features and very capable management software. While all that drives its price up somewhat, it's still the top future-proof router you can buy right now...
The ASUS RT-AX88U ticks most right boxes, the performance is good, and you are AX ready which could justify the 369 EUR price tag to be a bit more future proof. The big downside right now is that there are no AX clients available, but as stated. you are...
As I said at the start, this is not the definitive word on the performance of the two first-to-market Broadcom-based draft Wi-Fi 6 routers. Since they are both based on the same key Broadcom devices, I'd expect any significant performance differences I've...
I've been using the AX88U since the beginning of the year, it's covered my entire home network quite well in this time period and as its set to be replaced for new models coming in the one big take away for me is how stable it has been. Build quality is s...

Stunningly fast with 802.11ax clients, Strong performance over 802.11ac, Plenty of ports and features
Fiddly firmware, Less bandwidth than tri-band models
I'm sold. I knew that 802.11ax would mean faster Wi-Fi, but the reality is better than I'd dared hope for. Not only is it massively faster than 802.11ac at short range, it maintains that huge advantage through obstacles and over long distances. Hitherto I...
