    Modem + Wi-Fi Router Placement

    Generally you don't want two devices together like that as just being in proximity of each other can lead to interference.

    TP-Link WiFi7 Gaming Routers

    That BE900 is a good-lookin' unit. I am really enjoying my (free) AXE300. I haven't really used or needed the Wi-Fi 6E it has (I think I only have one 6E-capable client) so I can't even imagine needing Wi-Fi 7.

    Frontier 2 gig Internet with Sagemcom FWR226e (FAST5290) Router & TWX206e (FAST399) Extender

    So I am returning this equipment soon because Frontier is upgrading me to 5 gig Internet and they will be supplying a TP-Link Archer AXE300 router. This router is comparable hardware-wise to the ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 but of course the firmware is lacking compared to Merlin. However, I...

    AXE-16000 Tom's Hardware Issues Resolved?

    That review is a couple months old and there have been several firmware revisions since then. Plus... Merlin.

    ASUS GT-AXE16000 status?

    Indeed, that was one of the things I tried to no avail.

    ASUS GT-AXE16000 status?

    I have my GT-AXE16000 installed and it appears to be running great. Oddly I could not get an IP from Frontier FiOS at first. Got the dreaded 'your ISP does not do DHCP properly' message after everything I tried. Finally (in an act of desperation) I flashed it to Merlin and it started working! I...

    GT-AXE16000 Owner's Thread

    Oh yes, I have a QNAP QSW-M408-4C right off the router and feeding the rest of my multi-gig devices. Using Link Aggregation off of the GT-AX11000 for now. I did pfSense/OPNsense for a while but i really don't want to build yet another rig that's always on and I would still have to deal with a...

    GT-AXE16000 Owner's Thread

    My GT-AX11000 is running in the RT-AX89X's place and it works so good but limited to 2.5 gig. Its wireless covers even better than the RT-AX89X does. I'm definitely afraid I'll dislike the limited options running TP-Link's firmware. I would just have to sell the RT-AX89X and the GT-AX11000 to be...

    GT-AXE16000 Owner's Thread

    So... is the GT-AXE16000 worth it? I am getting a replacement RT-AX89X from RMA. Thinking about selling it and getting one.

    Frontier 2 gig Internet with Sagemcom FWR226e (FAST5290) Router & TWX206e (FAST399) Extender

    Because when on the 2 gig service the technology for the phone service is different and it must go through their router.
