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

Internet Service Provider Recommendation
So the issue isn’t the ISP, it’s the hardware, right? Because it works fine on the laptop and wired connections. So, yknow, fix the actual problem aka the wifi. I recommend disabling the built in wifi on their basic modem and investing in a dedicated mesh network. Lots of options these days, from th

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

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

Alternative DVR solutions - Comparison for those fed up or getting there.
Excellent write-up u/WhenenRome. As an HD HomeRun owner myself I have a few comments based on my experience w/my HD HomeRun Flex 4K after 5+ months. First off, you can use it wirelessly if you connect it to a wireless mesh node that has ethernet jacks, or a WiFi extender with an ethernet jack. The H

PSA; Remember to turn off UPNP
Thanks it both the original poster for posting this and a bunch of the replies that are talking about some super constructive stuff. As someone who isn’t sure what all of these things (upnp and vlan) are and how they should be set up (I have bulbs connected to Alexa, and some Echo devices like doorb

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

Home network upgrade - Ubiquiti setup or no?
I'll go against the ubiquiti train and recommend option 1 unless you're looking to use the other things like cameras etc. The Asus systems, specifically the XT8 or the ET8 are stable, fast, and cover large areas. I have found the ubiquiti AP will not cover remotely the same space. Both of them shoul

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
