ASUS’ RT-AX88U AX6000 Dual Band 802.11ax WiFi Router has been tested and added to SmallNetBuilder’s Wi-Fi Router Charts. While it uses the same Broadcom four-stream 5 GHz radio SoC, the AX88U’s throughput performance lags behind the less-expensive RT-AX86U. Check the Wi-Fi Router Charts for more details. There is no full review of this product at this time.

Updated Mesh is just one of the tools that Meraki uses to build its cloud-managed multi-AP wireless LANs for SMB's, campuses and apartment complexes.
We went back and retested the wireless performance of the three first-to-market AC1900 routers with newer firmware and found slight improvements that have changed the rankings.
