How did you setup your WiFi?

The most important thing you can do is HARDWIRE CONNECTION TO CONSOLE FROM ROUTER. After that: get a dedicated router if possible, do not use the trash your cable company provides. QOS prioritizing. Make the Portal the highest priority and the PS5 directly below that. 5ghz if at all possible, dual b

Streaming U.S. content

Install the VPN directly on the router, most proper ones support that. I've got the Asus RT-AX88U, 6 years old and working like a charm. That way your phone and TV are on the same network for screen casting, but you can also just use apps directly on the TV or Apple TV, since everything connected to

Best home wifi router?

Hey! With a $500 budget, you’ve got some awesome choices. For solid coverage (up to or beyond 5000 sq ft) and gigabit speeds, I’d go with a TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro mesh system Wi-Fi 6E, super reliable, and great range even into the garage.. If you prefer a single powerful router, the ASUS RT-AX88U or

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

Are Nanoleaf a bunch of cowboys?

I don't know what Nanoleaf is, but all my light sets have simply stopped connecting, I've tried deleting them entirely deleting the app and clearing all the data. Maybe it's my Asus RT-AX88U-Pro Wifi 6 router and the lights are simply incompatible with modern WiFi standards I don't know, but... I've

Help choosing a router for upgraded internet

Couple of Asus router recommendations. There's the GT-AX6000 or RT-AX88U Pro, two different wifi 6 routers that have virtually the same electronics inside. If you want to stick your toe in the water with wifi 7, there's the RT-BE96U,, which has been on sale a lot. Both of these routers have given me

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

Best Wifi mesh system for 2000+ sqft. multifloor home?

I use an ASUS RT-AX88U for my main WiFi with a couple ASUS APs to extend my WiFi through my 2500 square foot home, from basement to the second floor, and across the yard to a detached garage. The garage AP uses a WiFi backhaul and the other is connected via Ethernet. The router is in the basement, a

UniFi Express 7

I had an RT-AX88U in the office with my PC and my husbands laptop amongst other things attached to it and it was on a 5ghz WiFi backhaul and it was really strong. I've had to put an Express 7 outside of the office on the landing and route an ethernet cable into the roof and down into the office to a
