Hello everyone,
I have a thread about my problem with my NetGear R7800 : https://www.snbforums.com/threads/r7800-lost-5ghz-ssid.87338/
I'm losing the 5GHz WiFi for I whatever reason. The 2.4GHz is still working, but I have to reboot the router to get back the 5GHz WiFi. Dunno if my router is failing after all those years working together.
So I'm looking for a new router to replace it, in case this situation happens again and more often.
I'm not sure there is a similar router with NetGear. I have tried to find a new R9000 but I can only find used one, and I would prefer to avoid them. Oh, why a R9000 ? Because I'm using Mr @Voxel firmware on my R7800 and I'm very happy with it. There is such a fimrware for the R9000, so I was thinking that it would be a good choice.
I have about 30 devices connecte to the router. Let's say 5 or 6 using Ethernet, the rest is WiFi. Amazon Echos, Google speakers, my iPads, my laptops, a few electrical wifi outlet, ...
If I can't find a NetGear router, I was thinking about an Asus one. So I can install and use the Merlin firmware.
I've started to search around on the forum and two routers have caught my interest : the ASUS ROG GT-AX6000 and the ASUS RT-AX88U Pro. I'm not a gamer, I'm looking for a good WiFi coverage and a good stability. But I have read somewhere in the forum that the AX6000 was a better choice, the AX88U Pro would be discontinued anytime soon ?
Or do you have another router in mind ?
Thanx a lot for your insight![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
