Hi!
Right now I've got the TP-Link Deco X60 Mesh with 3 units and good Wi-Fi coverage, but some smart speaker loses the connection temporary when changing unit. So then I started looking for a standalone router and got my eyes on the Asus RT-AX86U Pro, mainly because I've read that it has very good Wi-Fi coverage. But since the BE86U cost pretty much the same right now for me, would it be a better choice? I don't have any Wi-Fi 7 units yet but when my family changes mobile phones we all probably will. My only concern is that the AX86U Pro is listed on the Asus website as for "Very Large Homes" but the BE86U only got for "Large Homes". Like the BE version got weaker Wi-Fi coverage or something, and thier support didn't give me a straight answer about it. The AX86U Pro has something called "RangeBoost Plus" that supposedly improves signal range and overall coverage, and the BE86U doesn't have this. Could that be the difference?
