Has anyone replaced their crappy AIS fibre router with a quality aftermarket device?

I have replaced the phone-company-supplied router with an ASUS router, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m currently using a pair of ASUS ZenWiFi routers and they are not only incredibly powerful, but they are good looking. (I got them from Amazon some them and I’m not sure if they’re available in Thaila

DNS over TLS (DOT) not working

I also had issues with DNS over TLS on my ASUS ZenWifi XT9 last night. I’m on the Full Plan, and nothing was resolving. Once I removed Control D from my router everything started working again. Doesn’t quite seem like the issue OP had, but not sure if CD or ASUS is the cause. I’ll try again today an

Farewell, TP-Link BE11000: When Stability Trumps Speed in My Wi-Fi Saga

So I thought I'd tell you my story since it might apply to your situation: I bought a BE11000 (Costco) system late last October to replace my Asus ZenWifi setup. I had nothing but problems with the system from the beginning. My wifi speeds were slower and the ethernet backhaul was cutting speeds in

Did You Switch Protocols? And Why?

I have a WiFi mesh (ASUS AiMesh) consisting of a powerful ASUS Router (GT-AX11000 Pro) and about five (currently) ASUS XT8 as nodes (some via wireless backhaul others via Ethernet) and they handle more than 100 clients (including numerous Shelly 1PM Gen4, Shelly Dimmer Gen3, and others) without any

Dream Router 7 or Asus BT8/BT10

I used to be a big fan of Asus and recommended them all the time. I really like the scope of their software and everything they make available without having to pay a subscription. I lived with my father for several years in a very large home with a detached mother-in-law suite and we used 5 of the

Asus AiMesh Node for my ASUS RT-BE96U Router

ZenWifi isn't the name of one unit, but the branding for their entire mesh lineup. I just purchased a BE96U and two BT10 mesh units this past week. They have very similar internal hardware, but the BE96U has external (large) antennas and the firmware has some options that aren't made available to th
