Time for new router

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

Wifi router

Pretty much any router will work fine for what you have. The Gl.iNet Flint 3 (GL-BE9300) is a good router with 2.5GbE WAN and LAN ports and tri-band WiFi 7 (2.4, 5 & 6GHz WiFi) for around $210. The Asus RT-BE82U also has 2.5GbE WAN and LAN ports, but with dual-band WiFi 7 (no 6GHz) for around $170.

What router/modem combo to get

As I understand it from others on here, Windstream fiber doesn’t use a modem, just an ONT that connects to a router. That router can be theirs or yours. If you want to use your own, these should handle a 2gb connection: GL.iNet Flint 3 (GL-BE9300) TP-Link Archer BE9300 ASUS RT-BE82U The main things

RT-BE58U vs. RTBE82U for 2.4 GHz?

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

Asus Aimesh and Easy Mesh main, Will it work??

Between the ASUS TUF AX6000 and the ASUS RT-BE82U, I'd choose the RT-BE82U as the router for these reasons: Even though it only has 2x2 for 2.4ghz, it has 4x4 for 5ghz, which is more important [higher speed band]; it is WiFi 7 (dual band but still, newer tech); all its WAN/LAN ports are 2.5gigabit;

I need a new router

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

I need a new router

No worries, glad you found it useful. By the way the TP Link products (such as the BE6500) are generally a better value than most other router brands if you do not plan to use TP-Link's additional security features. With TP-Link you only get basic security with the router purchase, then you need to

What’s the best overall WiFi router for home use these days?

We're happy with our 802.11be Asus RT-BE82U Router bought a few months ago in Dec 25. It has more than enough ports for us. There's no problem with wifi reach, but it's a smallish one-storey home. We don't do competitive gaming, just single player games (with no problem). No problem with our smartho
