I don't think any mesh networks are reliable.

Pretty much Ethernet always > wireless. We've got an upstairs 'apartment' above our kitchen and garage which sees occasional use in a fairly big but not McMansion-sized house. The original router was reasonably centrally located (an ASUS, RT something, popular router, was probably wifi5) and did ok

best mesh wifi system for a medium size house in 2026 what should I get?

Not sure why your comment was downvoted, but I tossed you an up-vote. I can confirm ASUS AiMesh doesn't like IoT very much (I have an ASUS XT8 system, wired backhaul). Smart plugs/switches don't stay connected, and other times they remain connected fine for weeks. Very aggravating. To fix this I dus

Yes, another post asking opinions about Unifi network equipment

Just an update, I have everything set up. Instead of using 3 U7 lites, I used only 2. Signal is good all over the house, the only weak signal on is the end is my back yard, right side, what makes sense based on APs location. I like all advanced settings that it has, very stable also and way better t

Upgraded from 1 to 3 gig, but speeds at the router are still stuck at 1 gbps

I did self-install of Core 3 with Gfiber 6e router, and was getting 3 Gb speeds. After 3 or 4 days I replaced Gfiber router with my old Asus Xt8 wifi 6 router/2.5 LAN/WAN ethernet jack. In a day or 2 speed dropped back to 1 Gb. Support said install Gfiber router agan to reprovision. Back to 3 Gb. I

Nighthawk XR1000 router won't connect to cameras or appliances

I ran into a similar issue with my ASUS XT8 (WiFi 6) mesh system. IoT devices (smart plugs, smart switches, doorbell camera, etc.) that use 2.4ghz would not connect reliably to the 2.4ghz WiFi network, even though it’s a separate network. They would connect most of the time, but would periodically d

Thank you..... but for my home usage do you think it will a problematic system ? Today I have the "amazing mesh" Asus Xt8 that until last night I thought was the super reliable system LOL , then I started to read, study about what everyone that really understand about networking saying it is shit LO

ASUS RT-AX86U consistently slower than BRSK Technicolour

OP, I replied the other day and I had similar issues. I upgraded to 2Gbps since posting last and was still getting shitty speeds at 800-900Mbps. My ZenWiFi XT8 has a 2.5Gbit WAN port so I expected it to at least saturate 1Gbps on my network. I bought an RT-BE92U with a 10Gbps WAN port and now I'm ge
