difference between the Asus DSL AC88U vs Asus RT AC88U ??
whats the difference?, its got a different price but its still a Asus AC88U router, nothing on the Asus product page,
Its confusing as they are both Asus AC88U Routers, very popular but the 2 seem different models below, they also have different prices,
can anyone advise?
as i dont want to get the wrong one for my fibre internet,
Im currently using a ASUS PCE - AC68 Wireless PCI-E Network Card with the older Asus RT-AC87U router
Ive upgraded my internal WIFI adapter card to a ASUS PCE - AC88 Wireless PCI-E Network Card so any info appreciated.
thanks
2 different routers same name 2 different prices???:

Off the top of my head and with a little searching I found this information for you.
I am not an expert but from the following links I can tell that the cheaper DSL version has a built in MODEM.
(it has only 4 lan ports)
The more expensive RT version does not and requires some sort of modem to connect to if you wish to access the internet.
(it has 8 lan ports)
Hope this helps you decide.
You can see the back of the different ones if you scroll down the links provided.
