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

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

Please help me pick a router - big budget
You say you have a BIG Budget, how big? Nothing is future-proof. How big is your house? How large is your yard and do you want good Wifi out there. Where if your Router located. One end of the house and wifi sucks at the other end? My last router was a ASUS before I moved onto a whole Ubiquiti Unifi

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

I need a new router
TLDR: I'd suggest the RT-BE82U for dual-band WiFi 7 (2.4ghz/5ghz) as it has 2.5gb WAN/LAN ports. I'd suggest the TUF-BE9400 for tri-band WiFi 7 (also has 2.5gb WAN/LAN ports) and also has 6ghz band if that is important. Details: Good options listed above (ASUS BE3600 or TP-Link BE6500) but I don't l

Looking for new(ish) consumer WiFi router suggestions
(Part 1/2) How large is the residence that needs WiFi coverage? On how many floors (looks like just two)? Are you interested in WiFi 6E or WiFi 7? What's your budget? I'll assume a maximum of $300 USD. I'll focus on WiFi 7 below, but if you specify additional requirements I could share additional re

Interesting convo with a ubiquiti dealer about the UDR7
yep I don't have complicated network needs and meant to replace my very old but trusty asus wifi5 router. It is more configurable than my ISP's Aris XB8 and sports 2.5GBE ports even though I only have 3 left after using the 4th port for the WAN. Weirdly I think there is a bug or an issue with MLO be

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.
