    Ubiquiti UniFi Express 7 to replace my AX86S

    I am doing a lazy job though. I reseted and rebooted it only after the latest update, but haven't done it in the last almost four years 😅. Don't get me wrong, I still make sure to check the logs, set proper IPs and rules, and do some security checks. But that's all the tweaking for sure. I live...

    Ubiquiti UniFi Express 7 to replace my AX86S

    Even though very tempting (I like to customize and tweak everything I can, to the point that reinstalling my OS is something I consider 'therapeutic'), if I can avoid it for certain things, or if the result won't be a noticeable, why bother. I came to the point that if I can simplify it, I will...

    Ubiquiti UniFi Express 7 to replace my AX86S

    Good to know. Going from a dual core to quad core I thought it could help with the VPN side of things, and newer software maybe could make things go a bit better. But I hear you. I don't even have QoS enabled to optimize my PC gaming experience (mostly Destiny 2 and No Man's Sky). I just got...

    Ubiquiti UniFi Express 7 to replace my AX86S

    OK, I get that. I searched the UDR7 but there is no deal for it. My thought was since I have a simple need, maybe the change would bring some benefit. If not, I will stay how I am, until the AX86S breaks, or there is a real need. And yes, all the Wi-Fi 7 devices are phones and tablets. I was...

    Ubiquiti UniFi Express 7 to replace my AX86S

    I just saw the Ubi Express 7 on sale for 154 Euro, and after reading all the comments here about Ubiquiti, it seems to be a good change. My setup is simple, no ethernet, around 20 devices (about 5 are iot) all through wireless. The majority is Wifi 6, with 5 WiFi 7. 60% of the current AX86S...

    Will Flint2 (GL-MT6000) perform much better than mine RT-AX86S?

    I can purchase the MT6000 for 88 Euro, so I am thinking to purchase it. I have around 20 devices connected between 2.4GHz/5GHz, VPN (Open VPN and Wireguard) is a constant. I also have a Quest 3 too, but wireless PCVR has been a pain. The AX86S runs rock solid though. I saw some users from here...

    AX86S Upgrade

    Just returning to thank you for the advice. I updated the router's firmware, did factory restore, applied your config, changed a thing or two after testing it, and the router is working very well. No more disconnects and I am able to reach the max hired speed again. So, really appreciate your...

    AX86S Upgrade

    I think I would rather purchase something to try to improve range/speed, because it will be easier to convince the wife, I think. I am already hearing the question "why spending money if the result is the same?", or something like that. I looked on recent suggestions here, but besides these two...

    AX86S Upgrade

    No problem, I understand, and learned on this forum that there is no "magic" one-fits-all settings. Regarding the router suggestions, yes, wife will need to be involved: our current one is seating nicely behind an IKEA cabinet, about 140cm high, without apparent cables around. Any change on this...

    AX86S Upgrade

    Wow, great! I will try that and share my feedback. Much appreciated :)

    AX86S Upgrade

    Thank you for the reply. I will give a try. I am sure I could try to put the IOT stuff on the guest network, and maybe try different settings. What about the auto-reboot? The option is not on, but suddenly devices loses connection, and then either router finishing rebooting and everything...

    AX86S Upgrade

    Hi! I live in Germany, in a two store apartment, and have a AX86S refurbished for 18 months now (paid 94 Euro directly from Asus). The router sits in a "strategic" position, where the whole family benefits from it through wireless-only. No hardcore use, besides Wireguard VPN setup on Asus stock...
