    Upgrade to Wifi6?

    I tested R7800 once, but the range was not as good as R7000, so I returned it.

    Upgrade to Wifi6?

    I tested EAX80 AP from Netgear today at the same location as Asus. The results were very similar, sometimes even slightly better than Asus, the range is also similar or slightly better. The web interface is super dumb, and there are not many configuration options, but for the price (I paid $83...

    Upgrade to Wifi6?

    I have 3000 sq. ft with 1 story, and a basement. I had 3 routers running previously (1 in the middle (R7000), and 2 on the sides (R8500 and R7200)). I later switched off one on the side, and it was fine, then I switched off another side, and left R7000 only. It was still good on the main floor...

    Upgrade to Wifi6?

    So far I haven't seen any router with a better range than my R7000. Neither R8500, nor RT-AC68U/AC1900P, R7800, R7200 gives better range than R7000. Maybe I've got a very good copy, and it's approximately 5 years old.

    Upgrade to Wifi6?

    I purchased RT-AX86U from Bestbuy for a good deal (around $125 before tax) and placed it in place of my main AP R7000. The speeds now are around 10% faster, but the range is not as good as R7000. The speeds in most of the house are faster compared to R7000, except for one place in a basement...

    Upgrade to Wifi6?

    Yes, I can configure Cisco PIX, but this is yesterday compared to Palo Alto Networks.

    Desperately need advice on upgrading my slow mixed network (SRP541W)

    Or even better - Arista switch.

    Upgrade to Wifi6?

    I have 1Gbps wired connectivity through the home, except for the barn, which is sufficient right now. My QNAP NAS is also 1Gbps capable only. This should be enough for now. Yes, I heard about Ubiquity Unifi.

    Upgrade to Wifi6?

    What if you have 4 clients at 1Gbps each?

    Upgrade to Wifi6?

    It can connect faster with wireless backhaul, theoretically it can reach 4.8 Gbps router to router.

    Upgrade to Wifi6?

    You can always return within a month, if it doesn't work.
  12. Y

    Upgrade to Wifi6?

    It can't do 6Gbps, it's only theoretical. Realistically with 2x2 client, you can do 1200 Mbps, and probably even lower.
  13. Y

    Upgrade to Wifi6?

    Used ones are going around $70-85, RAX80 are also in the similar ranges. Yes, I think 4x4 is good to have instead of 2x2.
  14. Y

    Upgrade to Wifi6?

    This is only 2x2 in 2.4GHz band and 4x4 in 5, while EAX80 is 4x4 in both bands, and costs more than 2 times less.

    Upgrade to Wifi6?

    I was using it as a main router with Merlin software before I bought R8500, and R8500 greatly improved internet throughput compared to AC1900P. Right now R8500 handles 300/300 Mbps internet connection with no issues. I've also got RAX20 for free, but I can't seem to make it's wireless work. It...
