ASUS RT-AX86
Who’s it For?
Obviously, this one is a little more toned down, but it’s still no slouch when it comes to features. The design is great, and it’s not a complete tangle of antenna, so should look presentable out on display in your home; if you care about such things. With WiFi 6 it’ll still deliver up to 5700 Mbps, and with a 2 Gbps port, you still get the slick gaming priority features of the more expensive models. It’s ideal for small to mid-size homes, and it is well suited to those with a lot of smart home gear and comes with online parental control features that make it well suited to family life too. Plus it has a handy mobile app to monitor your network to easily fix any issues.
