Asus XT9 (AX 6e) should do the trick. Wired backhaul or dedicated 5ghz channel for backhaul should work very well for your situation, and more than adequate for 1 GB connection. I personally have an ASUS AXE7800 as my main router with two XD6 as nodes in an 1800 square foot house (two-story with bas

I'm confident someone will suggest the best solution is not a router or mesh, but router + APs (access points) -- and I'd agree with them. To set that up you'd need to connect the APs via ethernet to the router. If that is possible, it will give you better and more reliable speeds throughout the hom

Jeg har selv 3 x Asus XT9 mesh enheder i 158 kvm hus lavet i armeret beton på 2 etager. Jeg koblet 1 på routeren fra fastspeed ved indgangen af huset, 1 står i stuen i den anden ende af huset og 1 på kontoret oven på. Det kunne sikkert være bedre, men jeg har wifi i både have, carport og på lokummet

The key to 4K streaming on Stream is a strong stable WiFi signal or ethernet connection. I live in a 3 storey house and purchased an Asus mesh XT9 system which shares the broadband from the hallway. With good broadband your Stream should be fine (mine was). However, I cancelled for Sky's Now TV app

This is what we did. Picked up some ASUS XT9's and hardwired the network in the house. There isn't a corner of the home that doesn't get a solid 900+mb/s over wifi

u/crispysmoove I agree with u/TheImmortal_TK that ASUS would be a solid pick for you. BTW I have the slightly older ASUS XT8 mesh system and it works well in wireless backhaul, as it's tri-band WiFi 6 (2.4/5/5ghz bands). One of the 5ghz bands is dedicated to mesh traffic and the other 5ghz is just f

Personally, I would return the WiFi range extender... what's the point of paying for a slower speed than you are getting from the router/ hub? As others have commented, a wired mesh system is best, but do you need it? I and my partner WFH with frequent Zoom & Teams meetings so we need a decent netwo

I recommend leaving the uplink AP type to Auto, especially if you are using the AiMesh nodes wirelessly. Since you will have 3 units in the mesh (if I understood your first post right - the RT-BE88U as AiMesh router and 2 XT9s as mesh nodes), there is a chance one of the XT9s may find a better route

The ASUS XT8 is very close to the XT9 in specs, and the XT8 may be a bit cheaper, depending on where you are. The major difference is the XT8 only supports a max 80mhz on the 5ghz-1 (client traffic) band, whereas the XT9 supports 160ghz on the 5ghz-1 band. So XT8 isn't a perfect match to the XT9, bu
