The Netgear Nighthawk RAX40 is a better choice for those who need fast and reliable Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, with speeds of up to 3000 Mbps (per PCMag). However, it is more expensive than the ASUS Rt AC86U, which may be a better option for those on a budget. The ASUS Rt AC86U has a stronger signal and better range, but it uses an older Wi-Fi standard (per CNET).
