Why is Archer BE550 so much better than the Dream Router 7 here?
If you want really fast speed tests go with the BE550. If you want a fully featured networking device go with Unifi.

How do WiFi extenders work?
They do work but it is not quite plug it in and forget it like people expect. I tried a couple random extenders first and they technically connected but performance was messy with drops and slowdowns. I ended up using the TP Link BE550 Mesh system and it was a lot more predictable. You still need to

Megvalósítható ez a wifi mesh rendszer a lakásban?
Ne a Deco-t vedd, hanem easymesh kompatibilis cuccot. Nekem pl lent volt egy BE550, fent pedig egy be230, és LAN volt a bachhaul. tökéletesen működött a váltás észrevétlenül, és ha LAN-on megy a backhaul akkor sokkal jobb wifi sebességeid lesznek. easymesh egyébként wifi szabvány, szóval gyártófügge

Best router replacement for home networking use?
I wish this sub would stop recommending Unifi to everyone. If you don’t have networking experience you don’t want unifi. You’ll get better out of the box performance with something like a BE550. I manage a ubiquiti mesh at work and even I don’t use unifi at home. Just stick to something that’s plug

Max wireless bitrate Quest 3 can handle and router selection
500 Mbps is the max. For 150 euros, there's the Davolink Kevin or TP-Link's AXE5400/AXE75. I'm assuming you're using Virtual Desktop. You can join their Discord for further help, but this is what they recommend: "The following routers have been reported to work reliably from a number of users:(Prefe

10Gb Router for Home?
You can get a Unifi Cloud Gateway Fiber which has 2 SFP 10Gb ports, 1 Rj45 10gbps port and 4 2.5 gbps ports. You can use the BE550 in AP mode. If you are near a microcentre they offer the UCG fiber for 20$ off rn and you can save on shipping.

Is $49.99 for Cogeco 1 Gig a good loyalty deal, or should I have taken 1.5 Gig?
If you only use their router, don't bother going more than a gig. The ~600 Mbps on WiFi, you'll always see even if you got the 2 gig or even 1.5 gig. I do have Cogecos Sagemcom modem with its 2.5 gig port... it is bridged (Sagemcom basically acting as a classic modem) to a TP-LINK BE550 it has all 2

2 years on Launtel FTTP + TP-Link BE550 zero dropouts, wanted to share a positive data point
How are you finding the BE550? I’ve just upgraded to it from a Dlink DSL5300. The 2.5gb ethernet and wifi 7 are great

New router up and running
I've had this router for just over a week, and as you say, it is easy to set up ect. Done a fair bit of messing around with it, first off I tried it as a Mesh satellite wired into the YouFibre WiFi7 (Sagecom) router, all worked well Mesh wise. Now, the BE550 is the main router with another TP Link r
