What router is everyone using?
I’ve got You8000, I bought the ASUS ZenWifi BQ16 Pro, leagues better for consistency on mobile devices. I mostly use my PC to fully saturate 8000 obviously.

Looking for a WiFi 7 Router & Mesh
With 3,600 sq ft you need at least a 2 node mesh WiFi network. I recommend that you Google "mesh wifi router ratings" and look at a few ratings to determine best router for you based on your location and price point. Asus ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro keeps coming up for me.

Is there a point in WIFI 7
There is absolutely a point to Wi-Fi 7 if your ISP pipeline and network backend infrastructure can feed it. I am currently on a 2 Gbps fiber ISP tier that clearly over-provisions like crazy. My core network runs from an ASUS ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro Wi-Fi 7 mesh system into a Netgear XS516TM 10G Multi-Gig s

What is the ideal setup here?
I recently picked up a single Asus bq16 pro. Thing is a monster. My house is about 3500 sw feet. I set it up in my theater room upstairs. And it's covers everything in the house with "excellent* connection. Even my cars connect in the driveway and back yard tv as well. Set up all of them on a Asus i

just purchased
I used the Orbi 970 (2 pack) from 2024 up until last week. It's not a bad system overall, but I wanted more control in the webUI, so I decided to try the Asus BQ16 Pro (also a 2 pack). First thing I noticed when I set up the Asus was that even a single router unit seems to cover a greater distance o

My partner and I are moving to El Paso and we both work from home - hospital & use 1 laptop each, thus multiple different systems. Locating to zip code 79912. What would be the best recommended internet provider. Also what is the average mbps recommended? we had a 1 gb, it felt unnecessary.
For home use wifi 6 is still fine. wifi 7 is will future proof you for a bit. Tri band is a must in my opinion. Quad bands are out now though. Im a big fan of the Asus home mesh routers. Not the ones that looks like spiders with 8 antennas though. The ASUS AX6100 WiFi 6/RT-AX92U 2 Pack was rock soli

MLO (Multi-Link Operation)
I don't use Toob's routers. I do have a pair of (expensive) Asus ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro routers in mesh configuration and MLO does provide a significant performance improvement when connecting the two nodes (in different rooms). Creating a MLO WiFi network adds a small improvement when connecting my phone

Recommendation for a new mesh WiFi 7 system?
I replaced it with the ASUS ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro system a few months ago and it’s been way more stable for me. My place is a little smaller than yours but still multi level, and I’m running it wirelessly between nodes too.

Best mesh option for my setup?
The Asus ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro outperforms the Orbi 973 with faster speeds and better range thanks to its dual 6GHz Wi-Fi 7 bands, offering more reliable and higher throughput through thick walls. While pricier, it’s the best option for your 3Gbps plan in a concrete house without Ethernet wiring. The Orb
