ASUS AC5300 and AC88U Router Review
Link Aggregation – Home Server performance
Â
Both the AC5300 and the AC88U allows you to use link aggregation, which allows as device to connect to the router using two Ethernet connections running parallel, allowing a device to connect to the router with 2x the speed/ data rate of Ethernet.
This is incredibly useful for those that use NAS (network attached storage) solutions or has a home server, as it allows the server to transmit data faster to your devices and allows more than one Gigabit Ethernet device to connect to it at full Ethernet speeds. Â Â

WiFi Range
One of the first things that differentiate these routers from the norm is it’s high speed Wifi and it’s large range, offering a fast and stable connection to your router even at when it is a long distance away. If you are sick of losing connection when you are more than a few rooms away from your router, you should really consider getting a better one.Â
