So the main differences over the AC86U are the RGB lighting and that this does 160mhz width on 5ghz? Does it do 80+80?

The RGB lighting is for if you have the socket near the door way and can walk about the hour without turning the lights on 😉

I don't understand the point of these "gaming" routers. The WIFI performance is still abysmal compared to wired. If you want fast low latency for gaming, just use some Cat5e!

Because it's a shedload of money for something that can be bested by a $5 bit of wire.

True. So I'd still just take the unnoticeably faster wired and save the money.
