#Best router 2021 under 100 software
We played the game Overwatch and measured the frames per second (fps) with the software FRAPS. Wireless tests were done on the 5 GHz frequency (with a single 2.4 GHz test just out of curiosity to confirm our suspicions).
We ran tests both with the connection to an Ethernet port on the router and then also while connected to the dedicated Gaming Port. For internal control, we ran the same tests on both wired and wireless connections.įor the wired tests, the laptop was connected to the router via a CAT 5e cable. For this, we used an Asus ROG G512 Strix i 16GB/512GB gaming laptop. It is perhaps not surprising that the highest FPS was achieved on a wired connection to the gaming port of 120.6 FPS, but also impressive was the 5 GHz score of 119.1 FPS, both with no other videos playing. On our network congestion testing, the RT-AX86U proved solid as well on both wired and wireless connections. This can extend the life of this hardware when it longer is used as a primary router, but can still help to cover wireless dead spots in the residence. The AiMesh Node is quite intriguing, as this router can get repurposed to work as a node in a mesh network with other Asus routers.

The firmware also gets checked at this stage and updated if needed during this process. From there, there is a ‘Quick Internet Setup’ module, which guides the user through the basics of configuring a wireless password. We appreciate that there is no software to install, but rather after the connections are made, you just fire up your computer, and navigate to the router’s website. Setting up the RT-AX86U follows the same plan as other Asus routers. There is also support for Beamforming, OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access), a 1024-QAM high data rate, and 20/40/80/160 MHz bandwidth. The claimed speed is AX5700, with a max throughput of up to 861 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz frequency, and up to 4804 Mbps on the 5 GHz frequency. The wireless is the latest 802.11ax, and this is a dual-band router. The specs are solid for the RT-AX86U, starting with a 1.8 GHz quad-core CPU and moving on to 1 GB of RAM and 256 MB of flash.
