Thoughts on the ASUS TUF BE3600?

I bought a TUF BE3600 2 weeks ago and pretty happy with its performance based on its price, I have a 500mbps fttp at home, it can reach the whole house, and can get around 250-300 speed at the far end. Last week I bought a BE86u as I have seen so many compliment on AX86U, double the price than be360

Upload latency

Yeah - with SQM you should get it down to almost nothing... Interestingly I had an Asus RT-AX86U before and with that router even on wired the upload bufferbloat looked as bad as your wireless picture shows... For me the real world difference up and down is that I can now hold a VoIP call, video cha

Flint 2....2.5Gb WAN/LAN Port

I wholeheartedly second that notion. I came over from a Asus RT-AX86U at the beginning of April and am blown away by how much better the Flint 2 is. I have 1Gig Fiber delivered over the 2.5Gb port (provisioned at around 995/985) and am getting full throughput with very low buffer bloat. Day and nigh

FTTC to FTTP for gaming?

Yes streaming 4k shows. Apparently that takes 25mpbs and yet we only have 5? Not sure how that works lol. And yeh I replied to another comment here about QoS stuff. Really messed with everything else when we tried QoS with Asus ac86u. The next step was ax86u but I'm hoping we won't need that with th

I can't stand that Steam Remote Play is in that bad shape for so long

For real? I have an ASUS rt-ax86u. It streams great for like 10 minutes and then I get the red signal thing and it completely craps out. Can’t play whatsoever. I’ve tried EVERYTHING. And my computer is hardwired.

My overwhelmingly positive experience with Aquiss

The router is a ASUS RT-AX86U Pro and has the speed test feature on it, so I do my tests direct from the router. Just done one now, download is 893 upload is 850. This is where it becomes an issue. Its using Ookla and connects to the 20i Ltd Nottingham server. I just did a scan a min later and now i

Best performing 5-gbit /10gig capable router.

How many devices are you running through it. Currently I have RT-AX86U Pro, and it sometimes struggles with encrypted VPN connections, meaning CPU overload.
