    Trying to buy a router/routers that will solve all my issues

    Well, I tried every configuration. The Orbi Pro actually worked the best for what I’m looking for. If I didn’t get it on sale for less than $400 I would have went with 2 AX86Us, but the slight difference in speed wasn’t enough to justify the extra $150. I’m really surprised that the Orbi Pro...

    Trying to buy a router/routers that will solve all my issues

    Can't do a wired backhaul, this is more just making sure my entire place from corner to corner has good stable speeds. I won't be able to run new lines since it's a rental. I only ordered one AX11000. I'm hoping that AX11000 or the Orbi Pros do the job. So I can return the 2x RT-AX86Us and 2x...

    Trying to buy a router/routers that will solve all my issues

    Well, I took a mix of everyone's advice. I ordered a RT-AX11000, 2 RT-AX86U, and 2 RT-AX86S. I also managed to get lucky and find a 2 pack of Orbi Pro SXK60s on sale for 387. I'm hoping that the Orbi Pros work well as that's ironically the cheapest option. But I'll be giving them all a shot...

    Trying to buy a router/routers that will solve all my issues

    I tried the Deco Mesh Setup, but it was significantly throttling my wired computer. I was only getting 200 down while my wireless devices were getting 600 down. I’m concerned the Orbi would be the same just more expensive. I also wouldn’t mind giving the merlin firmware a test run considering...

    Trying to buy a router/routers that will solve all my issues

    Does an AX86U work well with a AX86S as a mesh node? Say if I wanted to start with one and get a second router down the line if I need to? Or would it be less problems buying 2 of the same routers from the beginning?

    Trying to buy a router/routers that will solve all my issues

    I feel like if I’m going with only 1 router I should go for the AX11000 since it has three bands, considering the number of devices I have. Just wasn’t sure if I should try that, or just get 2 routers and be done with it.

    Trying to buy a router/routers that will solve all my issues

    My Netgear X4S 7800 is on it’s last leg. I’m not sure if it’s just reaching its end of life or I have too many devices connected. I have 1gb down cable coming from an SB8200. The main part of the house is 1700 sq ft. My router is in the officer, which is the only place I can connect the router...
