  • Both routers are really amazing, but we can see that the ASUS has the upper hand. Some of you may ask why put an AC1900 against an AC2400. Well, we actually didn't. The focus of this article was to see how well do these routers perform in usual conditions...

  • Both routers performed well, both take full advantage of the new MU-MIMO technology, which will undoubtedly become a lot more widespread, so having any of these routers means you will be one step closer to the future.By the looks of it, ASUS RT-AC87U won...

  • Stellar 4x4 performance, Great range, Good, up to date software, Great design, Good security
  • Lack of 4x4 802.11ac devices, Quite expensive, Weird status LEDs placement
  • The ASUS AC2400 RT-AC87U used the 802.11ac technology at its best (for 2014) and if you don't want the latest ASUS router, the RT-AC3200 or to wait until the 802.11ax is implemented properly and becomes widespread, you will have to settle with this techno...

  • Abstract:  Do you need real Wi-Fi speed in your office? As 802.11ac-equipped laptops and PCs become common (and your 802.11n gear grows older), it's time to consider upgrading your Wi-Fi network infrastructure.You could push for the bleeding edge and get one of the...

  • Expensiv, Insecure out of the box
  • It's not the fastest, but the Asus RT-AC87U 802.11 ac router delivers good performance and unique features the competition lacks. While tri-band 802.11ac routers are all the rage these days, Asus makes the most of a dual-band design with its RT...

  • If you're looking for a high-end router, there are a lot of options available: the Netgear R7000 Nighthawk is the best choice under $200, and the Linksys WRT-AC1900 and the Asus RT-AC68U are available in the $200 – $250 segment. Newer routers like the Net...

  • Not the best solution for serving multiple 802.11ac bridges, Not the absolute fastest wireless when not paired with a bridge
  • The RT-AC87U is supremely fast—when it's paired with a second RT-AC87U configured as a wireless bridge. You should make sure its features and performance fits your needs before plunking down your cash....

  • Supports router, AP, media bridge and WDS bridging/repeating, Storage works at USB 3.0 speeds
  • Firmware is not stable, Major new features are undocumented, Cannot achieve 5 GHz four stream link rates
  • As I said in the closing to Part 1, the RT-AC87U/R is an unfinished product, rushed to market when it should still be back in the lab being thoroughly debugged. If you want to put your faith in ASUS and Quantenna's ability to deliver on its "wave 2" 802.1...

  • Supports router, AP, media bridge and WDS bridging/repeating, Storage works at USB 3.0 speeds
  • Firmware is not stable, Major new features are undocumented
  • Router geeks who have to be the first on the block have already scooped up the RT-AC87R from Best Buy shelves, paying $10 more than ASUS' $269.99 MSRP. And judging from some SNB forum posts, some have already returned it to wait for better firmware.Like a...
