Hi guys,
Trying to decide between these 2 routers:
ASUS Gigabit RT-AC88U vs Synology Gigabit RT2600ac
Which one do you guys recommend the most? Both are around the same price in my country.

I already have a Synology Nas and i love the OS.
I like the ASUS because of the 8 Lan ports on the back,i already use 5.
I don't really care about wi-fi signal that much,because i have a second router that i use in bridge mode in my room (where i mostly use my phone) so wi-fi strengh is enough for me.
I have 1GB connection,and it doesn't always seem to be going at max strengh,mostly around 500mb download,sometimes it goes to 900mb.
I know it can be mostly to IPS service,but i want to make sure i have a capable router in the first place.
I am using 2x TP-LINK Archer C2 at the moment.
Looking to replace one of these routers with one of the above.
 
If you don't care about wifi, you could just simply get a wired router good for 1Gbps and that would be enough. Probably would save a bundle if you found it used too. I know the prices for these routers are ridiculous as I've bought enterprise gear for the same price.
 
Going from consumer to MikroTik is probably more than most consumers can handle. But the unmanaged switch should be easy enough. :D
 
I went with the mikrotik Hap ac2,because i decided i did want some wireless in that room,but my overall speeds are the same. I guess my IPS doesn't guarantee 1gb ,sometimes i get 900,since few weeks i barely reach 500mb. I wander now if there are any benefits to keeping the mikrotik or just going back to my TP-link router.
