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

Any good basic just.. “good router” I can buy?
How much area do you need to reach with wifi? You should probably think about getting a WiFi 6 or Wifi 7 router at this time to be ready for the net generation of devices. I like the ASUS routers as their web interface is really easy to use and they include a lot of nice admin features if you care a

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.

New forced contract on ASUS router - give us all your personal information
No such pop-ups on my two RT-BE86U units; also mine have been rock-solid since installing them last November.

New customers...so far so good
Here are the options: Best: Two mesh wifi routers with Ethernet cable between them. Better: Two mesh wifi routers (no cable) Good: one higher end router (more coverage) I prefer Asus routers like BE86U but many people will recommend TP Link ones. Alternatively, you try if beacon 6 good enough.

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

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

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.
