In case TP-Link gets ban in the US, What other brands do you consider a good alternative?
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.

UX7 Poor Range
I recently moved to the Unifi stuff having had an Asus GT-BE98 WiFi 7 and 2 Asus RT-AX88U as mesh nodes. I've got the UDR7 and 2 UX7's. The range on the UX7's are rubbish compared to the Asus gear, I've had to put my UX7 at the top of the stairs and then run a cable through the loft to a switch in o

I fried my home router by being an idiot, tell me what I should've gotten instead for ~$130
I've been more than pleased with my Asus RT-AX88U. It has been far the best home router I've had at home and I've had networks in my house in the late 1990's.

UniFi Express 7
I had an Asus setup with a GT-BE98 WiFi 7 router and 2 RT-AX88U as mesh nodes. Compared to this my UDR7 and Express 7 are pants in terms of WiFi coverage but are more stable as the Asus would often bomb out for no reason. I did buy another Express 7 to use as a mesh with the other and that has helpe

Should I buy the ASUS RT-BE88u an almost 2 year old router and join it with my RT-AX92U routers?
I have an ASUS RT-AX88U that we bought several years ago and it's been rock solid. Not even using third party firmware. Practically no issues whatsoever. All of these negative ASUS reviews? I have a theory. ASUS enables DFS channels and 160mhz wide channel on 5ghz by default. If you live near an air

Telstra NBN
Ah sorry, I read it as First 2 on my phone (aging eyes). I see it properly on my PC. Not sure, I haven't looked at recent routers, still rocking an Asus RT-AX88U, which has served me well. I'll look at upgrading when I want to more than 1Gbps

New Asus BE92U Ping Spikes
(Part 2 of 2) Option #1: Use WiFi 6 devices for both the router and mesh node. Replace the router (RT-BE92U) with a high-quality WFi 6 router. One example - ASUS RT-AX88U Pro. Released in 2023 so only 2 years old at this point so will likely receive firmware updates for at least another 3 years (pro

Current FT Version for (an older) Asus RT-AC68U
Thanks everyone for your replies and feedback. It gives me the confidence to upgrade to the 2024.5 without fear (beyond the usual) of bricking. I spent hours last night looking at new routers to supplement this one. Huge rabbit hole. It looks like Tomato is no longer easily maintained with the newer

ASUS RT-BE92U WiFi 7 Router review
The RT-AX88U Pro has the more superior antenna setup for the 2.4 and 5.0 bands compared to the RT-BE92U. Unless you’re experiencing problems with the router or if you really wanted to upgrade to WiFi 7, you should stay with your current router, because the processing power is still beastly, which is
