    Is the ASUS AX6600 XT8 the right choice for me?

    If I'm reading the specs correctly I can dedicate a pair of MoCA to each gaming systems (I have 3) so that would be dedicated 6 MoCA. Then I don't have to worry about the kids in my overall scenario. That would mean I can focus my Wireless on IoT (using 2.4GHZ) and then my TVs which stream via...

    Is the ASUS AX6600 XT8 the right choice for me?

    Interesting option with MoCA option. This would allow me to go with a stronger Dual Band WiFi router and use the COAX for the backhaul and eliminate the worries of the 5GHz-2 or 6E connection. This potentially would buy time until WiFi 7.... I understand the point about experts and its very...

    Is the ASUS AX6600 XT8 the right choice for me?

    I’m seeing that now. But - what is the alternative? I thought the AXE-7800 would be better for my situation if cabling isn’t option: The one 2x2 6E band would be good for my case because right above each other less than 35 feet; but would give more on the 5 GHz where the Streaming and gaming...

    Is the ASUS AX6600 XT8 the right choice for me?

    Any suggestion on the “right” setup other than wired connections? And yes… recently retired so I do have a little time on my hands but would like to put this little project behind me and get outside :). What should I be looking for in system where 2.4G has good coverage for IoT and 5GHz has...

    Is the ASUS AX6600 XT8 the right choice for me?

    @tgl why did it have to be Pittsburgh? oh well :) I was taking yesterday and today to clean the wireless. The hidden SSID was actually my old ORBI RBR50s that i forgot to power down when putting the Asus XT8s in. The "offongs" where IoT plugs that I was configuring for HomeKit but got...

    Is the ASUS AX6600 XT8 the right choice for me?

    @tgl Here is the main floor with Netspot coverage.... I wanted to check before doing upstairs on what I should be looking for? I've tried to upload the PDF for the survey but it's too large.

    Is the ASUS AX6600 XT8 the right choice for me?

    @tgl I purchased the scan software and have started scanning. Here is the initial scan of what the environment looks like. @Tech9 My one son on his XBOX plays a lot of Rainbow 6 and they have built a latency chart into the game. My son claims it used to around 9-10 with Orbi RBR50 and now...

    Is the ASUS AX6600 XT8 the right choice for me?

    @Tech9 The good news as I explained above is that the Master and Nodes are in the middle of house and 160 MHz is functioning for the dedicated backhaul with no issues. I have config parameters in earlier thread. All seems well with the coverage areas (again I got lucky) to where the most...

    Is the ASUS AX6600 XT8 the right choice for me?

    @Tech9 thanks for adding @tgl - Yes, I'm running 3 XT8s in AiMesh. I'm going to look at NetSpot Pro to walk the house and gauge. I'm also using the 5 GHz-2 dedicated to backhaul and have configured both nodes as follows: Go to the “AiMesh” -> “Management” click on all Nodes separately and...

    AX6600 WAN speed to BGW-320 - Is it possible?

    Can you provide a few recommendations I can research or which forum to join that moves me away from MESH? I don't require mesh except thought it was the easier set and forget solution.

    Is the ASUS AX6600 XT8 the right choice for me?

    I want to thank @Tech9 who raised a great question in another thread. I wanted to start over in this forum as maybe I have made a mistake purchasing the ASUS AX6600.... but i can return. I'm looking to upgrade from Orbi RBR50 and was originally trying to upgrade in order to separate my ever...

    AX6600 WAN speed to BGW-320 - Is it possible?

    I just purchased on Monday; I can always take back. I do like the gui interface and the ability to separate my ever growing list of IoT devices. Any suggestions to get best bang for buck on reliable setup and adequate performance? I'm looking for something that covers 8000 sq feet, 3 floors...

    AX6600 WAN speed to BGW-320 - Is it possible?

    I'm trying to setup once so I can enjoy the summer! I'm also trying to use standard settings and not try and over think the setup. Right now I have no QoS policy in place and No VPNS. My complexity comes in having 3 AX600 running in mesh. I was attempting to problem solve from Internet into...

    AX6600 WAN speed to BGW-320 - Is it possible?

    This is a new install so I can work on getting a macbook and windows devices ethernet attached to the AX and run speed test from there. I will also attempt to get my WiFi setup and start streaming my Rokus to try and drive the Internet connection. If anyone has suggestions on how I can best...
