The RT-AX58U (first one) is the best out of the 3.

usually they want you to swap over to the latest DOCIS spec'd modem they support because its cheaper for them bandwidth wise. as for a router, I'd suggest a RT-AX58U, supports wifi 6, cheap, reliable.

À date jte dirais que c’est vraiment la même chose que mon routeur RT-AX58U. Je vais le tester un bout et voir si j’ai réellement besoin d’avoir un routeur à part.

La porté est sensiblement la même que mon routeur ASUS RT-AX58U et ça torche le wifi du CODA-4680

I use Expressvpn and an Australian based server. The speed is fairly decent with around 66mbps throughput. It won't fully get around the stupid data retention but it will obfuscate the data in amongst everything else. I also use an Asus RT-AX58U router which allows you to load up the vpn directly in

Wow! Thank you for mentioning this. I have RT-AX58u V2 which I bought with intention to install merlin, but I then found out there are 2 hw versions of it and I got 2nd which is unsupported.

I believe Merlinwrt is much like the Asus stock (it's what Merlin is based off of) but with just a few added tweaks like better vlan configurations and multiple wireless lan configuration and SSH access and better firewall configuration, and VPN. That's pretty much the same with freshtomato, it give

That's a very tough call, because the rt-ac68u is pretty hard to beat imo. I have friends that got one around the time it came out (yes even the T-Mobile version) and they're still running strong. Most friends I have that still use them are running freshtomato firmware on it. I'd say the minimum I w

(Part 1 of 2) Thanks for the info. From your post I see you have set up the RT-BE92U as the primary router and RT-AX58U as a satellite mesh node in the garage. I assume both devices are set up as a mesh network via AiMesh. The RT-AX58U is using wireless backhaul to connect to the RT-BE92U via AiMesh
