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

No such pop-ups on my two RT-BE86U units; also mine have been rock-solid since installing them last November.

Vpn router

Jeg går ud fra du vil køre wireguard vpn protokolen. Jeg bruger wireguard med protonvpn på en Asus gt-be98. Stærk cpu og 2 gb ram Det er en god hastighed på downloads igennem routerens vpn. Omkring 60mb/sek i mit setup igennem vpn. Jeg har 1000/1000 fiber. Et billigere alternativ er ASUS RT-BE86U ro

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

Cat6/ethernet in New Build?

Apart from ethernet cables, it is also important to use a proper router, such as Asus RT-AX86U (wifi-6) or Asus RT-BE86U (wifi-7).Not the cheap crap like the Vodafone Gigabollox, that can only do 5GHz.Or the out-dated Fritz!Box stuff from the likes of Digiweb and PureTelecom.

New router recommendations and understanding wifi 7

I have the Asus RT-BE86U and it is great! 10 metres from the router, I can get speeds of up to 1.6 Gbps. It also an easy to use management interface with just about everything you need.

The current state of MLO implementation for consumer Wi-Fi 7 router -> They all have the most basic implementation required!

Exactly what you said. I needed to replace my mom's ol' faithful Apple AirPort Extreme 6gen routers when the fan started sounding like a jet crashing; so I went with another stable ASUS RT-BE86U Wifi7 dual-band units. The BE92U units have tons of bad reviews due to firmware - which most likely have

Looking for which of these ASUS routers to get ?

Do you need a 10GB WAN/LAN port (on the RT-BE86U)? If not, get the RT-BE82U. BE82U has max 2.5GB WAN and LAN ports, which should be fine for most people and seems to be more than enough for your requirements. Most of the other specs are the same or similar (1GB RAM on both; BE86U has slightly faster

Can anyone recommend a good router for gaming and light WiFi usage.

I’ve had good luck with ASUS. The app is user friendly with easy access to parental controls. I have a few of them. As I upgraded my main router I just switch the old to wired mesh nodes. What ever you get a dual band , 2.4 and 5ghz, is usually enough. There aren’t a lot of devices that use the 6ghz
