Your Linksys 7450 went End-Of-Life in 2023, and all support will cease in November 2028. Latest available firmware is dated 2021, so it's a significant security risk. It's only WiFi 5 standard, new Routers are either WiFi 6 or WiFi 7. Do yourself a favour and spring for a new router. You may want to

Your already invested in asus aimesh, buy another asus and make it your primary. But…..you said you want to upgrade; using the ax as nodes will still limit you to wifi6 if you connect to them. Is it speed, future proofing, or trying to solve a dead zone that you are after? The asus rt-be58u is an en

Disable WIFI completely, and go buy a quality ASUS Wi-Fi 7-enabled router. The Asus RT-BE58U model is very affordable and packed with many useful features.

If you want to stay with ASUS, some good upgrade options to WiFi 6 include ASUS RT-AX86U Pro (if available in your region, otherwise just AX86U), or ASUS RT-AX58U (RT-AX3000) for a lower cost option. For WiFi 7: If you don't need the 6ghz band of WiFi 7 then ASUS RT-BE58U is a good entry level route

TLDR: I'd suggest the RT-BE82U for dual-band WiFi 7 (2.4ghz/5ghz) as it has 2.5gb WAN/LAN ports. I'd suggest the TUF-BE9400 for tri-band WiFi 7 (also has 2.5gb WAN/LAN ports) and also has 6ghz band if that is important. Details: Good options listed above (ASUS BE3600 or TP-Link BE6500) but I don't l

You seem to be missing the router. The PM5311-TO is an ONT. It converts GPON to a single Ethernet jack. It doesn't have a router so you can't connect a switch to its Ethernet jack. It doesn't provide WiFi either, so I'm not sure how the WX3110-B1 extender is working. Good news is you should be able

They are very similar: https://www.asus.com/my/product-compare?ProductID=26424,30794&LevelId=Networking-IoT-Servers-WiFi-7 Main differences: RT-BE82U has five 2.5gb ports and a 4x4 antenna for 5ghz (instead of 2x2 on RT-BE58U). They are both dual-band WiFi 7 routers (2.4ghz & 5ghz bands) with the sa

Country: Poland Internet connection: Ethernet WAN from my ISP directly to an ASUS RT-BE58U (I don't have any ONT/modem in home, only ethernet cable sticking out of the wall) Network setup: I'm not sure what information you're looking for here. I only use a router - ethernet cable runs directly from

We have sky fibre and had to ditch the supplied router in favour of an ASUS W/L ROUTER WIFI 7 RT-BE58U that cost £110. It sent speeds from sub 100 to close to wired speeds. It's just a crappy router IMHO. Right now on WiFi I'm getting just under 800, on our 600 guarantee and 1000 expected.

Never ever use the Modem's firewall features. Go get yourself an Asus RT-BE58U WiFi 7 router, use the DMZ/Bridge mode, and never worry about Modem firmware updates again. You will also gain extra security features such as VPN server/client capabilities, which you'll want for when Bill C-22 passes, a
