So I’m racking my brain over which setup to buy. I’ve been waiting for the Asus Zenwifi to come out and that seems to be taking an age.
for whatever reason I can’t use a wired backhaul so would prefer a dedicated wireless AX backhaul.
my current setup:
Downstairs:
Virgin Media superhub3 in modem mode (350mb broadband)
- Asus AC86u
- Panasonic smart TV
- Xbox One
- Apple TV 4K
- Virgin V6 cable tv box
Upstsirs (currently connected via home plug)
- Main PC (used for all kinds of consumption/gaming etc)
- Synology DS918+ which is used to download and runs as a Plex server
- Philips hue bridge
Generic WiFi devices
- Two google homes downstairs
- Two google homes upstairs
- Nest third gen thermostat
So in my usecase I was fast speeds via the backhaul and low latency (as good as can be on WiFi).
my current considerations were:
- new Asus zenwifi AX or also know as AX6600. This seems to be taking an age to come out.
- Orbi 6 though the price is incredible
- RT92u - though doesn’t seem great.
- Amplifi alien though this has no dedicated backhaul which puts me off a bit
I’ve been scowering the web for a while...and can’t quite find the right fit. FWIW I’m having issues with the speed on the home plugs and want rid of them quickly.
