Large and present in design, but fast and stable

• Beautiful design
• Fast and good range
• Hangable (requires a hack)
• relatively large and present

Switched from an ax92u so was already familiar with Asus.
Software and the app are great (also remote access).

It is strange that the mounting feet are covered with rubber.
A Cat5e cable is also included, a strange choice given the multiGB WAN port.

Disappointment in terms of range, otherwise excellent router

• Installation ease
• Range is really limited

I had this router in mind based on my experiences with the AC87U. To get straight to the point, the range of this router is very limited. My old router works better and that is a real disappointment. The distance from the meter cupboard where AX88U is located to the living room is 11 meters. And the performance is not good. That's a shame, the rest of the router performs well, but it doesn't have 8 LAN ports either.
