RT-AX88U

Phones can bypass any restrictions you implement on the network simply by turning off the WiFi and using LTE. Unless the kids are using deactivated phones that are 100% reliant on WiFi. Kids can and will learn how to change DNS on individual devices in order to zip right around whatever content limi

I have one. It’s fantastic. But I whitelist devices. I don’t want my young kids having VPN access unless I manually turn it on. It was very easy to set up. I have an ASUS RT-AX88U. Just needed to upgrade the firmware to Asuswrt-Merlin. I don’t remember all the steps, but it was one of those things w

I skipped 6E and 7 entirely because of the same reasons. Even on my “old” Asus ax88u, I’m able to pull 700mbps over WiFi to my MacBook Pro and around 600ish on my iPhone 16 pro. There’s really no reason to upgrade unless you’re going multi gigabit and you really want to upgrade But even at that poin

If you prefer a single powerful router, the ASUS RT-AX88U or

I've had my Asus AX88U for almost 5 years now and it's been good and even still gets firmware updates. If you're trying to go with prosumer equipment, you'd be better off with Aruba Instant On than Ubiquiti.

there is currently no need for wifi 7 other than better range in some settings. wifi 6 is plenty of fast enough. I have the RT-AX88U pro and 800mbs+ per wireless client is a bigger pipe than most can use comsidering 4k only uses 35 mbs and most servers cap downloads shy of 800mbs.

Not sure if your GT-AX6000 has same firmware/settings screens, but I got the Asus RT-AX88U AX6000 and spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to get it to run with PiHole/Unbound.
