About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
NitroQAM technology: high-speed Wi-Fi
When it comes to playing a tight online competition or watching a live 4K/UHD event, experiencing lag and buffering issues are not acceptable scenarios. The RT-AC86U's NitroQAM (1024-QAM) technology delivers a combined Wi-Fi speed of 2917 Mbps so everyone connected to the network can enjoy smooth streaming and online gaming with minimal latency.
Double Boost for Gaming
Enjoy low latency online gaming and superior performance over your home network and Internet connection.
Integrated game accelerator
Since ping time values and speed variations affect the path that game packets follow, these parameters can have a very negative impact on the online gaming experience. WTFast's Gamers Private Network (GPN) technology automatically selects the most efficient path, significantly reducing ping time and minimizing packet loss. The RT-AC86U includes this technology free of charge for users to enjoy all its benefits in one device for compatible multiplayer competitive games.
Adaptive QoS: Prioritize your games
Expand the bandwidth available for your games with Adaptive QoS, a feature to prioritize activities and packets related to gaming traffic. In addition, Gamer Solo Mode allows you to allocate all available bandwidth for gaming. The RT-AC86U is the perfect ally to enjoy low latency gaming in any corner of your home. Compatible with PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PS4 Pro, PlayStation Vita, Wii U, 3DS and Xbox One.
MU-MIMO maximizes performance when connecting multiple devices
MU-MIMO technology ensures that all Wi-Fi connected compatible devices3 work at full capacity without slowing down the network.
In fact, thanks to MU-MIMO technology, the RT-AC86U is able to connect simultaneously and at optimum speed with multiple compatible clients. However, the MIMO standard works with sequential transmissions.
optimal coverage
ASUS innovative antenna design and Range Boost technology dramatically increase Wi-Fi hotspot stability and range. AiRadar optimizes the signal reception of your devices so you can enjoy faster and stronger connections.
High performance processor, faster transfers
The high-end processor that includes the RT-AC86U (dual-core 1.8 GHz) gives it excellent performance that allows data to be transmitted via USB at speeds of 110 MB/s and provides up to 1600 mbps2 WAN to LAN speed.
AiProtection ensures a secure digital environment
With automatic vulnerability detection, malicious site blocking, and parental control, ASUS AiProtection powered by Trend Micro provides a secure online experience.
AiProtection blocks Internet-based attacks before they reach the network, and in the event that an infected device is detected on the network, AiProtection automatically blocks it to prevent sensitive data from being sent to malicious servers.
First line of reinforced security
When it comes to maximizing online gaming performance, the network is only part of the equation. Because AiProtection is built into the router itself, even if a device doesn't have security enabled (necessary when you want to play blocked games, for example), AiProtection can still protect your network against attacks and intrusions.
ASUS Router APP: control your network from anywhere
We are becoming more connected, for that reason, it is more important than ever to have access to your network from an application. ASUS Router App has been created to be very intuitive and robust, without having to use your PC.
ASUSWRT: control your network with ease
The ASUSWRT graphical interface allows you to configure the network in three simple steps and contains a number of advanced options.
connectivity
The RT-AC86U includes four Gigabit LAN ports, one USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0. In this way, you can connect your Smart TV, NAS storage system and other devices in different ports and use the RT-AC86U as your digital hub.

sorted byI think that's probably been resolved with more recent units, but it's not a great showing for ASUS engineering. To be fair, when not blowing up, it was an excellent router and I was pleased with it. Wireless coverage is great, the Asuswrt-Merlin custom firmware is very nice.
Edit oh and 3 Google nest devices. (edited)
I have this router and it's great btw. No intentions to upgrade anytime soon and I love my tech.
Btw won't this come with EU plug? (edited)
I got a DrayTek Vigor 120 ADSL2/2+ Modem
Current exchange rate (Mastercard (fee free card)) makes it :
109.44 EUR = 95.30 GBP (edited)
Just ordered one and been billed £88.05 on my card. Expected delivery 17/09. (edited)
What about import duty. I got a bit of a shock when I ordered something from Southern Ireland. Email from DPD wanting £44 before they would deliver.
