Hi
Been running a Asus RT-AX88U as main router with a RT-AX1800U as access point (AP for better range wifi). I had to do something because the main router could not cover the whole house, so set up a second cheap router as AP. What I have noticed lately, is that my work computer has the last 2 weeks started to disconnect from wifi in on second floor in the house (I guess this is a laptop issue, not router), also wife has experienced disconnects at one place on the second floor a few times.
For a long time, I have been thinking of upgrading to the Asus RT-BE88U, but never go around to it. When I looked for options now, the ones I found that are interesting are as follows:
1 Asus RT-BE88U
2 Asus ROG Strix GS-BE18000 (more 2.5GB ports, newer)
3 Asus ROG Rapture GT-BE19000AI (very new, also got its own little 'secondary AI/docker/apps device', but 2x the price of the BE88U / BE18000)
One of the main reasons to upgrade is better wifi (range, signal strength), newer hardware and minimum at least a few 2.5GB ports.
So;
1 Are there any other routers that should be on this list?
2 Which ones have better wifi then the old, and how would people rank these (I know 19000AI is spanking new, and may have issues still)?
3 The reason for going for the Asus ROG Rapture GT-BE19000AI is to put more 'home server' features on the router, instead of other PC / device.
Open for advices...
