I have two ASUS RT-AX92U in use. The AC86U described by michmouse doesn't really make sense in combination with the AX88U, because otherwise you won't benefit from the fast WLAN standard (WLAN 6 = AX, WLAN 5= AC).
In general, you can use any router for expansion, but you should make sure that it is
a) Ai-Mesh compatible
b) has "AX" in the article description
Hi
I have two RT-AX88U in use and have not noticed any bottlenecks despite high traffic. The question is, in which area do you have bottlenecks (WLAN, LAN, ?)? I can simply tell you that the firmware problems have disappeared for a very long time and the AX88U really works very reliably (and without losses).

The question here is what speed is meant? In principle, the ASUS connected to the UPC box via LAN should not result in any loss of speed. The UPC 1GB WAN connection hardly provides an effective 1GB and the LAN connection with the right cables provides at least 1GB. Whether the WiFi then really delivers 1GB is again a theoretical matter, as can be read in the relevant technical reports.
Hi, no, you cannot disconnect the Swisscom router, you must leave it connected. Then connect the ASUS router to the Swisscom router via an Ethernet cable (be sure to plug it into the WAN port on the ASUS router). You don't have to make any settings if you don't have any special requests. You can then set it up using the Setup Wizard directly on the device or via the ASUS App. Regards
It works for me with the following settings and identical device setting:
Under "Advanced Settings" -> LAN -> IPTV, enter the value 10 for VID under Lan-Port -> Internet.
To activate IPv6, Tunnel 6rd must be activated under the corresponding menu item. Under Tunnel MTU enter the value 1480, under Tunnel TLL enter the value 255. In my case, the router automatically obtained the rest correctly. Good luck.
It is a router and not a modem, which means that you have to connect the router to the modem (not directly) and - if the modem supports WLAN - deactivate it. So there is nothing to be said against it, except that hardly any device supports the new standard.
Before I had my own router FritzBox connected to the phone ADSL ! A few years ago Sunrise offered me a box because the router is getting on in years, but I'm not satisfied because there is an interruption every 20 minutes. So you can not really play games and watch Netflix without the stop. The Sunrise box has already been replaced twice but always the same problem! Can't I connect this router ASUS RT-AX88U Gaming directly to the Tel ADSL via filter like before the Sunrise Box ? Then I would have a perfect connection like before! Greetings Franz
It is a router and it does not have a modem. It cannot therefore be connected directly to the WAN at the tel. connection. It must be connected to the LAN port of the Sunrise Box. (Does this box have a bridge mode or does it support IP-v4?*).
The operation is actually no problem, I have connected the part to my UPC box because the WLAN is this junk. However, you should then be sure that the interruptions on the Sunrise box ONLY occur on the WLAN, otherwise the AX-88 may not solve your problem.
(*If you don't need to do any port forwarding for remote access to e.g. a NAS or server, then you don't need Bridge Mode in your Sunrise Box).
Hello
I currently have a Nighthawk RAX40 as an access point for my basement room. It is connected to my modem in the flat upstairs via LAN.
However, I have noticed, due to the upgrade of the internet line, that the router is now a bottleneck. Is it worth replacing it with the RT-AX88u Gaming? I read a lot of problems here regarding connection losses. I also had these with the AX40. since the latest firmware, the problem has now been solved. at least I no longer had any losses.
Please only serious comments. I am not a layman. I just want to know the experiences of other owners.
Good evening community people,
I have a question and a problem.... I have a Upc Giga connect box in bridge mode and the router from Asus RT-AX88U Gaming, and have the Dual Wan active on primary runs the Wan and on Lan4 the secondary, now the question does it need the Dual Wan actually? and the problem, in between the connection goes away from the wan and shows me a red wan led and then comes back in like 2 to 3 min hmm... I am wondering what this can be, because it is already important that the whole thing must run because I have a Synology server 918+ running with websites and Plex and Ts3, does anyone have an idea what this can be I am glad for any help I can get.
Greetings Reto
