YouFibre WiFi 7 Router Vs ASUS BE6500

After a quick Google it does say the Asus be6500 has a lot of problems, I would try and send it back for a refund if you can. Like I say I got an Asus tuf ax3000 V2 from eBay and I'm super happy with the range and speed, get like 450mbps in a previous dead spot on 5ghz, you can get them from cex as

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

Looking into purchasing a better WiFi box as I think the route issue of my problems is WiFi congestion as we have 7 devices connected at once and at least 4 or 5 almost using it at once which is causing all devices to buffer and for me to ping spike when playing games

I would certainly advise you to upgrade to something that has at least 6e wireless. Since you're looking at an Asus I would suggest be5800, be6500, or an ET9 FYI, 7 devices shouldn't be causing you any congestion. However, if they're all high demand devices working at the same time I could be wrong.

Is Virtual Desktop worth it for only WiFi?

I use wifi and have a dedicated router for VD on VR. The router is in AP (Access Point) mode. In windows I share the wifi connection to the router. It's working great. However I'm still working (with claude) to prevent to have to disable and enable sharing on the internet adapter each time. Somehow

Need a decent router

I wasn't sure about brands meshing together tbf. I guess we need an Asus then. I would be open to looking at mesh systems and what not, but Dad is not open to it and it's his house. He just wants a good router than can mesh to our current Asus but that is better than the plusnet hub 2 (wifi 6 and go

Router Recommendation (NFC NBN)

I was in the exact same situation as OP (telstra gen 2 with dropouts) and bought the be82u, lower spec version of this from officeworks price matching jbhifi. Within OPs budget and i'm getting great speeds with no drop outs. I doubt the 6ghz band is that necessary for most people on 500/50 nbn. Ever

Looking to replace my ancient 10+ year old router. (still works!) It's been so long I'm not sure what I should be looking for in a new one.

Buy an ASUS TUF If you are looking for WiFi 6, an RT-AX82U or a classic TUF-AX5400 Or an RT-AX89X (if you want your 10Gbps port in RJ45 and SFP+) or a Rapture GT-AX11000 Pro (2.5Gbps+10Gbps) or something simpler a GT-AX6000 EVA (2x2.5Gbps) If you are looking for WiFi 6E I think.have seen both have t

2.5Gbps FTTH connection

Which router are you using? I'm also on 2.5gbps with Cool ideas + Octotel, but max is about 1900 down and 2300 up. Asus BE6500 router. I get 2300 up and down direct to ONT, bypassing the router.

YouFibre WiFi 7 Router Vs ASUS BE6500

I bought an Asus ax3000 V2 from eBay for like £40 and it's awesome, I needed 2 eero's to cover my house but the Asus gives a strong signal on 5ghz all over the house, even in the previous dead spot so I'm surprised the BE6500 isn't very good. Make sure the firmware is up to date because that can sig
