I'm confused on how exactly to get our 8Gb fiber internet to multiple devices

you will need a router that has 2 10Gb ports one for wan and one for lan, your current router is limited to 2.5Gb on lan physically. The ASUS RT-BE88U has 2 10Gb ports so if you were to get this it is an affordable router that you can then connect a 10Gb switch to the 10GB lan side of the router and

Can we run pihole directly on router?

I have an Asus RT-BE88U, which is a fairly decent router and whilst I probably could run Pihole on it I wouldn't. Space is limited, performance might not be great, port 53 is used already by internal dnsmasq, you mess something up you need to take your whole network offline to fix it or restore sett

Avoid being scammed: Bell may charge you after your "free upgrade" to the Giga Hub 2.0 despite being on a plan with no modem rental fees

I have an 8-port switch behind my TV for my consoles and entertainment setup. You misunderstood what I meant by "split WiFi network". There is more than one WiFi Network that covers 2.4GHz and 5GHz on the same router. My Asus RT-BE88U allows me to create a completely separate WiFi network using the

Looking for the best high-end router for fiber internet (2 Gbps+, WiFi 6 or newer) with strong range and no ISP restrictions

We went through this recently when we upgraded to 2Gbps FTTP. We ended up purchasing an ASUS RT-BE88U from Amazon for $499 when it was on sale last month. Does everything we need it to do and has a strong signal that covers our two storey home.

SPNM60CF any known bugs with DHCP server when combined with reserved/fixed IP

First rule of home networking... Dump the ISPP provided router and buy a 3rd oarty oone. ISP provided routers always have a lot of settings etc locked away. I use an Asus RT-BE88U with my CF connection. Works great and I have complete control over every aspect of the network.

Bell says, they cannot swap my modem for (Giga hub) gen 1/ Home Hub 4000. Is this true?

What sort of speed degradations are you seeing? With my Asus RT-BE88U via PPPOE, I'm still seeing 3.2Gbps download speeds on speedtest.net, but I do see only about 1'ish Gbps upload speeds. Measured on the modem itself I was seeing 3.2/3.2. I can tolerate the slower upload speeds.I'm not seeing any

Just received my eero pro 6e device and need advice

There are plenty of 2.5Gbps throughput routers out there. Currently, I’m using an ASUS RT-BE88U because I want 10gbps LAN (for Plex / NAS access). It’s a really good router, but somewhat overkill for most people and not what you’d call cheap. Another person has already said it too - what devices do

Need help with a new router

I don't know why you recommend him the cloud gateway ultra, he'd have to buy APs and such. This is a normal consumer and not a pro-sumer; who already stated his budget and needs. to keep it straightforward for individuals who aren't building out a homelab... the UD7 is good enough https://store.ui.c
