The Asus RT-AC88U router has eight superfast Gigabit LAN ports
Speedy Wi-Fi performance and lots of useful features. Its Web interface is smartly designed and easy to use
After all the tests, we can say that the ASUS RT-AC88U is a very impressive router for a dual-band type. Overall, it is extremely fast and has excellent admin software for both mobile devices and desktop; we also liked that it features a game-specific Qua...
The RT-AC88U is easily one of the best feature packed routers I've seen in some time. The eight gigabit ports instantly made it one of my favourites as the lack of ports on modern day routers is one of my biggest bugbears and more manufacturers should tak...

Abstract: The result is feature-packed routers that often go far beyond what other dedicated networking companies churn out and this RT-AC88U is another example. It's a follow-up to last year's RT-AC87U, which bumped the theoretical top wireless speed from 1,733Mb...
The ASUS RT-AC88U is one of a kind in the market. It lies somewhere between the top tier AC5300 and AC2600 solutions like the RT-AC87U. Build quality of this router is solid from the internal components to the external design, and on that note, I have al...
The Asus RT-AC88U router has eight superfast Gigabit LAN ports, speedy Wi-Fi performance and lots of useful features. Its Web interface is smartly designed and easy to use
The router's USB 3.0 port is awkwardly placed, and when coupled with an external hard drive, its NAS performance is just average
You'll pay a lot for the Asus RT-AC88U, but it has everything you'd want in a router. If you have the money, this is the router to get...

Expensive, Complicated back-end can be intimidating, Doesn't have the same range as other models
One of the best routers for gaming.Beyond jumping to a wireless mesh system, which brings problems of its own, this router offers some of the best performance you can ask for. It's a great choice for anyone looking to squeeze out all the potential from th...
All in all, the Asus RT-AC88U is the top performing router that we have tested, earning the title of Best Overall Router and an Editors' Choice award. While this model didn't take home the top spot in our throughput or range tests, it should provide more...

Features and PerformanceThe Netgear X4S and the Asus RT-AC88U are devices that appeared before the WiFi mesh systems really had a chance to take off and to manage to pose a serious threat to the one-unit device in favour of a multi-unit setup (which it do...
Fast data transfer rates, Good range, Feature packed, Easy to set up and use,
Relatively pricey, Could be overkill if you have a slower Internet connection
On balance, the Asus RT-AC88U is near impossible to beat. It's blazingly fast, relatively easy to set up and use, and about as feature-laden a router as you are likely to find. In addition to terrific wireless performance, its support for wired networkin...

The Asus RT-AC88U and the Asus RT-AC3200 have a lot of things in common, both have a great user interface, both have powerful hardware and interesting designs (although the RT-AC88U is better looking, but this matters little when we talk about routers), s...
