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).

10G in and out of router
The best price per dollar that i can currently find is the Asus BE96U. its the cheapest router that has 2x 10GbE ports on it. One for WAN one for LAN. then you need to get a 10GbE switch but id rather do this than get sucked into Ubiqity. I know its a great product but for my needs its so ungodly ex

Need help choosing a router.
Whoa! $899 for a router? (ASUS GT-19000AI). Based on what your stated needs are, I agree with u/Junior_Resource_608 that this router may exceed your needs. The ASUS BT-BE98 Pro ($628) is also rather pricey. While you would know best what you truly need, I have some thoughts to share. I think you could

Help choosing a router for upgraded internet
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

Looking to upgrade my router, what is best? You are all "Uniquity" but is it truly the best for my needs?
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

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

Asus BE-96U or 98Pro?
TS-453D with 4TB hdds in raid 5 config. Currently setup with a single 2.5GBE connection. The the 98Pro is delusionally expensive and I have zero interest in the gaming aspect of it. I actually did a bunch of testing on the BE96U (currently using) that cost $600 CAD vs a Ubiqiti UDR7 with a U7 Pro AP
