Dårlig nett/WiFi

Tipper altibox er som alle andre leverandører og leverer ganske shitty accesspoints for å selge like dårlige mesh løsninger. Dropp 2-3k på en solid wifi 7 ruter på salg så får du helt andre boller i lufta. En god ruter er en god investering for fremtiden også. Edit: komplett har gode tilbud på flere

ASUS RT-AX86U Pro sold out everywhere -- BE6800 comparable? Other options?

Assuming that's the Asus RT-BE86U for $15 more, it's the direct replacement and improved in literally every way, you'd be silly not go just go straight to the BE device, even if you never end up using Wi-Fi 7 on it.

Omkring 60mb/sek i mit setup igennem vpn. Jeg har 1000/1000 fiber. Et billigere alternativ er ASUS RT-BE86U ro

Questions about Router options and features

Yes, other routers have much more functionality than yours. I use Asus routers with Asuswrt-Merlin, and it's incredibly powerful. I can set up three "guest networks" each for 2.4GHz and 5GHz. I have one set up for cameras and IoT devices - they can reach my Home Assistant server and DVR, but they ca

Should I buy an Asus BE86U over the AX86U Pro to ensure longer life of firmware updates?

I got a RT-BE86U last February for this very reason, my older router fell off the update schedule from Asus, so I have demoted it to an access point, and got the BE86U for the main router. I like it, it works fine. My only complaint is that it doesn't support Jumbo Frames on the 4 port LAN. It is a

Need help choosing a router.

Whoa! $899 for a router? (ASUS GT-19000AI). Based on what your stated needs are, I agree with u/Junior_Resource_608 that this router may exceed your needs. The ASUS BT-BE98 Pro ($628) is also rather pricey. While you would know best what you truly need, I have some thoughts to share. I think you could

Has anyone used Deco or Asus system?

I have an ASUS Mesh. Primary node/router is a RT-BE96U. The satellite remote node is a RT-BE86U. I am linking the two on a 10Gb wired backbone. So far so good.

Rural gaming router

Yeah, usually the router doesn’t help (a lot) with ping, but it can sometimes provide some relief in that department as well. Ping usually has more to do with how far you are from the data centers hosting the game servers you’re connecting to and a bunch of other variables. I currently have a Unifi

Should I get a Tri Band router?

I'd rather get a good dual band (4x4 on 5GHz) like the RT-BE86U or RT-BE88U than a mediocre triband. I don't understand the hate for dual band Wifi 7 devices, 6GHz is useless in practice due to the short range, you might as well use a cable and mobile devices don't need speeds over gigabit. A good t
