    After a bit of googling it does look like that Asus model does support Multicast which is required for Optik TV to function properly. The one thing you'll need to be aware of is if you have any wireless Optik TV boxes they will need to be reconnected to your Asus. If all your boxes are hard wired you shouldn't have a problem as long as you enable multicast.

Those instructions indicate WiFi does not work due to multicast issue with WiFi. Can you confirm this

The instructions that were linked are for specifically setting up multicast on LAN. If the RT-86U keeps the multicast traffic only on the LAN, wifi should still work fine for your own devices but wireless Optik TV boxes won't work.
