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.

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

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

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.

What are people replacing TP-Link routers with?
Yeah. I have both the BE550 and Dream Router on my hands and the UDR7 is almost 2x slower than the BE550 for some reason. I followed everyone's advice so far and factory reset twice. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. The unifi app is really great though. Idk why my wifi speeds suck though Also, t

Indicação de roteadores, o roteador atual tem bufferbloat
Antes de trocar, testa outra fonte no seu C5 atual, porque o chipset dele não é tão ruim, mas o VRM é simplório demais, se a fonte tiver ripple isso passa fácil pelo VRM ruim dele e vai pro chipset (E ripple sempre gera erro de processamento). Porque o chipset dele (QCA9558) também tá nuns Mikrotik

Which router should I buy? Or any better suggestions
Same, it’s listed as BE9300 (Archer BE550) on Amazon. It works great for me, zero issues in having it for a year. Plenty of options to customize and signal strength is great. I already had a WiFi 6 TP-Link router and I upgraded my main unit and kept the old one to use in the garage as a mesh WiFi no

Recommend me an access point / Router
Internet connection speed has nothing to do with your PCVR streaming experience. You can use it with dialup or even without internet (VD requires internet though, but it's only for DRM check so internet speed is irrelevant unless you are playing an online game). Quest 3 doesn't support Wifi 7 (only
