Good Wi-Fi Router in 2026. Any recommendation?
Just bought the ASUS RT-BE88U WIFI 7 router,beyond outstanding!!! I am getting over 900MB on WIFI on a 1GB Ethernet connection and established a Mesh network using RP-BE58. Great software,frequent firmware updates and Best Buy offers excellent guarantees/warranties. Good luck!

Mesh wifi dillema
I love my ASUS RT-BE88U WIFI 7 router paired with several ASUS RP-BE58 Mesh extenders. Just “marry” the extenders to the main router and in your case,use the RT-AC86U as one of the extenders. Good luck! WIFI 7 is almost 2X the speed of WIFI 6.

Bell is so bad...
I use my Asus RT-BE88U with my 3Gbps service without any issues. Are you sure you were setting everything up right? All Canadian telecom, cable, and ISP's are pretty shit! It's because we are Canadian and there is no actual real competition.

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.

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

What's the best router for a home office that can also do PCVR?
I recommend just getting a router that your headset supports. Quest 3 supports 6ghz wifi on 6e, but you can probably get a great signal like I do (i live in a condo building, tons of networks around but still great connection on 5ghz via the Puppis S1). As mentioned before, it is not advised to use

Eero mesh system on Full Fibre max - extenders or more pro 6Es?
Got onto the same plan and found the eero router to be inadequate for the throughput over WiFi. Good excuse to upgrade my existing router (an ancient Netgear R7800) and ended up going with the asus RT-BE88U. Double the speed over WiFi, and literally billions of network ports on the back which have c

i personally use the ASUS RT-BE88U it has 2x10g ports one being a sfp+ port so if you have fiber there is no need for a modem and it also has 8 additional lan ports 4x2.5 g and 4x1g also its wifi7 wireless and i have had this router for a year now and it is amazing now your modem depends on your ISP
