RT-BE96U

I think the problem is quality control/silicon lottery. Personally ive almost always had issues with TP-LINK as the firmware is horrible. I always end up with Asus. However theres been quite few times where ive needed to swap out routers because the first ones I receive are defective or die very qui

I'd consider the ASUS ZenWiFi BD5 Outdoor. It is pricey for an "outdoor" unit, but you could always install it indoors. The RT-BE96U is one of Asus' Extendable Routers with AiMesh, so if you stay with that platform, it should be stable and setup should be simple. All of Asus' AiMesh stuff will work

Running a RT-BE96U on Asus Merlin with zero issues. 2Gbs symmetrical fiber.

I'd recommend the Asus RT-BE96U. Some good sales have been going on. I have it, and it really does perform well, and provides great wireless coverage. It's tri-band, plus wifi-7. Been very stable as well. HIghly recommended.

I have an Asus RT-BE96U that's doing really well these days. Stable and a great wifi-7 performer. Similar hardware to the GT-BE98 Pro, but only one 6GHz. band. Personally, that's all I need, one 6GHz. band :-). You don't get to pay as much for it as you do for the GT-BE98 Pro, but it will fulfill yo

Couple of Asus router recommendations. There's the GT-AX6000 or RT-AX88U Pro, two different wifi 6 routers that have virtually the same electronics inside. If you want to stick your toe in the water with wifi 7, there's the RT-BE96U,, which has been on sale a lot. Both of these routers have given me

I'm curious about their reliability too! I am hoping you buy one (or both) so I can find out. 😂 I'll share an anecdote. I have an ASUS XT8 mesh system (WiFi 6). It was released in about January of 2020. Been using since mid-2021. For the first 8-ish months I had periodic problems with the mesh node

Have been using an Asus RT-BE96U for some time, and it has worked really well for us. Great performance, and very reliable. Nice set of configuration and monitoring tools as well when you need that. Gives us wireless coverage everywhere in our house. Has a couple of 10Gbps ports, one for the LAN and

yeah aware of the 160mhz limit but someone had suggested I try anyways but I knew it wouldn't likely do anything so its toggled back to 160 at the moment. I did a wifi scan and even adjusted my 2.4 and 5ghz channels to where it's less or not congested at all. Yes with MLO disabled and in line of sig

I’ve been down that same rabbit hole, and honestly, WiFi 7 right now is a mix of overhyped marketing and half-baked firmware. I tested the TP-Link BE800 and the Asus RT-BE96U side by side for a few weeks, and they both had insane raw speed but random disconnects that made me want to pull my hair out
