It's not the fastest, but the Asus RT-AC87U 802.11 ac router delivers good performance and unique features the competition lacks. While tri-band 802.11ac routers are all the rage these days, Asus makes the most of a dual-band design with its RT...
If you're looking for a high-end router, there are a lot of options available: the Netgear R7000 Nighthawk is the best choice under $200, and the Linksys WRT-AC1900 and the Asus RT-AC68U are available in the $200 – $250 segment. Newer routers like the Net...
Abstract: The next generation of wireless routers is here. These routers, which the industry refers to as "Wave 2," have new internal hardware that can provide theoretical Wi-Fi speeds of over 2Gbps. The first to market is the Asus RT-AC87 Dual-band Wireless-AC2400...
Supremely fast when paired with an 802.11ac bridge, Very long list of advanced features, Less-expensive than Netgear's Nighthawk X6
Not the best solution for serving multiple 802.11ac bridges, Not the absolute fastest wireless when not paired with a bridge
The RT-AC87U is supremely fast—when it's paired with a second RT-AC87U configured as a wireless bridge. You should make sure its features and performance fits your needs before plunking down your cash....
Supports router, AP, media bridge and WDS bridging/repeating, Storage works at USB 3.0 speeds
Firmware is not stable, Major new features are undocumented, Cannot achieve 5 GHz four stream link rates
As I said in the closing to Part 1, the RT-AC87U/R is an unfinished product, rushed to market when it should still be back in the lab being thoroughly debugged. If you want to put your faith in ASUS and Quantenna's ability to deliver on its "wave 2" 802.1...

Firmware is not stable, Major new features are undocumented
Router geeks who have to be the first on the block have already scooped up the RT-AC87R from Best Buy shelves, paying $10 more than ASUS' $269.99 MSRP. And judging from some SNB forum posts, some have already returned it to wait for better firmware.Like a...
The Asus AC2400 RT-AC87U Dual-band Wireless Gigabit Router has superfast Wi-Fi speed and an extremely long range. The router has the the ability to keep viruses and malware from entering your home network, monitor Internet traffic in real time, and many o
The router is expensive, and you need compatible Wi-Fi devices to benefit from its fast performance. The USB 3.0 port is awkwardly placed, and the interface doesn't include client names in the IP reservation list
The hefty price aside, the Asus AC2400 RT-AC87U is the most complete 802.11ac router to date, capable of satisfying all your home networking needs....
Superb 4x4 performance, Fast enough in other areas too, Excellent software
Lack of 4x4 802.11ac hardware, It's an expensive buy
With brilliant, well-designed software, which contains just about everything you could want in a wireless router, along with record breaking quad-stream wireless performance, the Asus RT-AC87U is one of the best wireless routers money can buy...
The ASUS RT-87U aesthetically is one of the most elegant routers I have seen in quite a while. In fact, I would put it right next to the WRT1900AC that I use in my home network. The build quality feels quite good, all the plastics are secure, and adding ...
