Xfinity doesn't charge for modem rentals anymore, so it doesn't save money to switch to one's own. Just place the Xfinity provided modem in bridge mode and use one's own router that does allow DNS editing, it's how I do it. I have an Asus RT-BE92U for mine, as it has a 10gig WAN port meaning I can s

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

If you are happy with your single all-in-one, there's no need to go with a mesh system. There's nothing "better" about it, it's usefulness is extending wifi coverage when you can't or won't wire an access point. Here are some suggestions within your budget.

I currently have the Asus RT-BE92U and I get great speeds always a bit more than the 1gb because of the 2.5 port that I have on both of my PCs. https://www.speedtest.net/my-result/17302426059

I was recently shopping for a wifi router, and I find it best to start by making a list of features I care about, then stacking the candidates up on that. Here is the brief list of differences I saw between these two units. The biggest difference I saw was the 92 has 6Ghz, but only 2x2. The 88 lacks

If the RT-BE88U is within your budget and you aren't concerned by its price, you could certainly buy it and use it. Especially in a wired backhaul AiMesh setup with the RT-AX92U units, where the AX92U units serve essentially as wired access points. In that respect it doesn't matter too much that the

Asus RT-BE92U?? Around that budget. 2 x 2.5gb ports ( 1 x WAN, 1 x LAN) Wifi7. Not sure about memory leaks though.
