I recently upgraded from a RT-AX86U (basically the WiFi 6 version of your router), and I purchased 2 x RT-BE92U, one as a router and one configured as a separate access point. The primary reason for the upgrade was to get access to the 6GHz band for a Quest 3 VR headset. Playing PCVR games via WiFi

I have the RT-BE92U and have been really happy with it, besides some issues with early firmware. After the firmware issues were resolved it has been rock solid. Edit to add a few more details. If you can centrally locate the router it may be able provide decent coverage for the entire home. I have a

I use aimesh without issue. 2 x rt-be92u. I also have an ax92u which was also a node. I removed that one as found didn't need 2 nodes. One router and one node. 10gb and 2.5gb ports. Use NAS with it. Also has dual WAN which was useful recently when ISP went off and used my iPhone 5g.

I bought an Asus RT-BE92U recently to replace (sort of) a pair of Asus ZenWiFi XT8 in an AiMesh. It's WiFi 7, 4 x 2.5Gbps LAN ports and 1 x 10Gbps WAN, Tri-band WiFi (very important for AiMesh imho) It's now my router and master node for my AiMesh, with the old XT8s now being (actually quite good) n

I've got Asus AiMesh (it was called that before the recent AI boom) and it works very well. I have an RT-BE92U as my main router and then two ZenWifi XT8's and an RP-AX56. I had the ZenWifi's before buying the BE92U in AiMesh and upgraded to the BE92U and kept the old routers to expand my coverage.

The Asus RT-BE92U has had some bad firmware the past several months, but looks like the newest firmware release (earlier this week) may have fixed some of the problems. This router also supports Merlin firmware (which is a nice alternative and often works better and is more reliable than ASUS’s stoc

You can try the RT-BE92U. Keep it as a central node and hardwire the other nodes.

Wired Asus RP-BE58 ($100) would be your best choice for an extender. But if you have the money I’d buy an RT-BE92U ($220) as main router and leave current one as a wired AiMesh node.

Sorry - guilty of not reading. I have ASUS, which I think allows up to 8 mesh AP. Our foundation footprint is not that different than yours. I have all my services come in by the garage and main router just inside the house from that. All the way at the diagonal opposite end of the house I have my f
