    Best ASUS AiMesh combo for less than 200€/$?

    I returned in, in person. The store clerk seemed like a knowledgeable guy, when I told him what I saw in the logs. He responded that this should be a quality router...but we do sell loads of TP-Links with very low return percentages. I headed to the store shelves to see what they got. Based on...

    I don't get this - this is a brand new router. Do you reset your new car or smartphone immediately after taking it to good use? Both of them have way more complex software than a simple router. The kernel fatal errors stopped with a simple reboot and the router worked for a few days, but just...

    Rather not...quite of a lot of work to reconfigure the clients, and perhaps do it again if issues are found. Band Steering and Chromecast has been a frequently discussed issue for several years, so I am pessimistic unless someone is able to confirm otherwise. Regarding the router: While it all...

    Best ASUS AiMesh combo for less than 200€/$?

    Indeed it does. I dropped in the new router, and I now have usable signal around the house. In the most remote corners of the apartment the 5Ghz band is starting to have issues, and gives only bornerline ~30mbps speeds. If central placement would be possible, the AX68 would easily blanket the...

    Best ASUS AiMesh combo for less than 200€/$?

    My favorite retailer just put the RT-AX68U on sale (129€) with a flexible 50d return policy, so I am going to give this a spin. I did some more measurements and using the Archer C7 alone, only about a half of the room with most distance form the router has no usable signal. I am hoping that the...

    Best ASUS AiMesh combo for less than 200€/$?

    Thank you - this reminded me why I am using a TP-Link OneMesh in the first place. Due to the concrete walls there is actually only one room that 5GHz can't currently reach, so I am using the RE200 w. OneMesh to get around the last corner and cover everything. The 2.4GHz might do better in terms...

    Best ASUS AiMesh combo for less than 200€/$?

    My thought exactly. I wonder which of the current AX lineup would be the "future classics", with a large userbase and good support. I definitely will not go for legacy AC products in 2022. For example the AC66 is from circa 2017 and must be reaching it's EOL. AC models in general are not in...

    Best ASUS AiMesh combo for less than 200€/$?

    I have a very specific type of small network building task at hand. An apartment with a challenging zig-zag layout and walls made of steel enforced concrete. Cabling is not an option nor can I place the router to a central location. Therefore a wireless backhaul mesh setup is needed to cover...
