Hi Everyone,
Totally amateur virgin network builder seeking advice. It's finally time to upgrade from my 2012 Airport Extreme router
D) and I'm ready to splurge.
After googling, 'came across the AXE-16000; I also came across some concerns voiced in the Tom's Hardware review. From these forums I've seen a few using it with no issue but I wanted to see if anyone could address what was brought up here specifically (poor QoS performance, poor LAN performance).
Additionally, if you have any other router options. I'm looking for something that will last me another long while (maybe not 11 years, but a while). I also would like to run my plex harddrives through it, but I'm debating about just building a HTPC so that isn't supremely needed. I have a pretty killer X690 ITX motherboard, so I think I could use the 10GB LAN port...
Other items, usually two phones, a PS5, a Switch, and a couple of laptops in addition to the PC would be on the network.
Any advice would be appreciated, thank you all!
