Both routers you named can’t get you the 10G speed you’re looking for. The rt-be92u has only one 10G port and the others are 2.5G ports, so the best you can expect would be 2.5Gb most likely through wired connection. The rt-ax86u has only one 2.5G port and the rest are 1G ports, so you’re bottleneck

I've been reading about the RT-BE92U, and from what I've read I don't think that I'd go that way. Too many firmware problems. Yes, I'd have to say that the GT-AX6000 or RT-AX88U is a better option than the RT-BE92U. If I was going to go for wifi 7, I'd go for the RT-BE96U, as I said before. Must be

Really? How come? I bought a new ASUS RT-BE92U WI7 router and my steamdeck won’t even see the 6G band unless I’m right next to it. I’ll sit like 10 feet away from it and nothing. Any recs on a better router?

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

(Part 2 of 2) Option #1: Use WiFi 6 devices for both the router and mesh node. Replace the router (RT-BE92U) with a high-quality WFi 6 router. One example - ASUS RT-AX88U Pro. Released in 2023 so only 2 years old at this point so will likely receive firmware updates for at least another 3 years (pro

I wound up cancelling the order and purchasing the ROG Strix GS-BE7200X, and I’m really happy with the choice. In a concrete apartment, 5 GHz is much more effective than 6 GHz for reaching through walls, and the GS-BE7200X’s 5th RX antenna gives that band the extra "reach" I needed for my Plex and g

A switch won't work with the RT-AX86U as it only has a single 2.5 G port so the only way to get it's benefit is over the wireless interface(s). As far as not having 6 Ghz That's why I initially returned the first BE3600 last year and got the RT-BE92U instead. From the beginning some of my smart plug
