Wifi 7 Routers - reviewed & compared
I bought a ASUS RT-BE96U and it seems to be great so far. The 10g wan port allows me to get full use out of my 3 gigabit upload/download speed. And the link aggregation works well. It’s definitely a good replacement for my sub par ASUS RT-AXE7800 (wifi 6e).

Wifi 7 Routers - reviewed & compared
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

Slow Wifi (7)
The wifi 7 boost router ( I am assuming this is the one you have) are not worth getting as they are plagued with all sorts of software and firmware bugs. I just made a house call to a colleague of mine that had the same issue as you. He was given the same AP, and has experienced the slowness you des

Telus Home 10 Gig Fiber?
With WIFI you'll likely never get max speed as there are so many ways the signal can be degraded or absorbed into the walls. Also it is better to have your own wireless router, as I find that the supplied hardware is often limited in channel width and optimization perimeters. With the kind of servic

Can anyone recommend any routers from Asus? Thoughts on GT-BE98 PRO?
Just received a new ASUS BE19000 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 Router model RT-BE96U with full build of 3.0.0.6.102_39112-g7a02961_1472-g67069_BB0B. Now I am patiently waiting for an ASUS firmware update to utilize the buttons and whistles that were advertised and paid for yet did not get. Retailers and marketing

New to AT&T Fiber, BGW320 IP Passthrough Bottleneck – Slow Speeds on Third-Party Router (Asus ET9)
I'm thinking either cabling or some configuration/breakage on the Asus router. Right at the moment, I'm using an Asus RT-BE96U router, and it's working great with the BGW320 in IP Passthrough mode. No special configuration, same configuration that I used when I had a brief stint with Xfinity. Luckil

ubiquiti udr7 + U7 Pro or Asus BE-96U router for 3000 sq ft home?
thank you for that thoughtful response! and promise I won't write nearly as much. I was very very conflicted (and still am about my choices b/c let's be honest they're both great products with pros and cons. To simplify the reading: The cost of the ubiquiti with the U7 Pro AP is actually slightly ch

UDR7 and MLO should be faster for wifi 7 enabled devices no?
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

New BGW320-500 1Gb Fiber Internet Passthrough to my WiFi Router
I second this. I had an Asus ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 with Spectrum and would rarely see 800 Mbps on a good day with their gigabit plan. The GT-AX11000 ran outta breath at about 1700 Mbps on AT&T's 2 gigabit plan. After upgrading to an Asus BE96u (non-ROG) router, speed tests now show 2300 Mbps in bot

RS700S Used vs. RS600 New... which would you pick?
got the rs700s, not particularly fond of its quirks but it works. If you're open to a larger footprint, the ASUS RT-BE96U has more features and does not have a paywall to use them.
