Guest WiFi: Create a guest network with a WiFi schedule and access rights to control when and how guests can use the network. Now I’m promised reimbursement. I don’t know if they’re even still making the RT-AX89X. It seems to have had many hardware issues. Which is too bad, because it was an awesome router with two 10GB ports, two USB ports and eight regular ethernet ports. If QoS/Parental control is present in the router but not on nodes, will the nodes provide the functionality ?

Wi-Fi síť může pracovat na několika standardech IEEE. Číslo 802.11 specifikuje bezdrátovou síť obecně. Dále se dělí na různé verze nejpoužívanější standarty v současnosti jsou 802.11n využívající frekvenci 2,4 GHz a 802.11ac běžící na 5 GHz.The Games section allows you to optimise your connection for gaming. These include Game Accelerator, Mobile Game Mode, and Open NAT. Game Accelerator is simply a device-specific QoS setting, while Mobile Game Mode requires the ASUS Router app. The actual transfer speed of USB 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, and/or Type-C will vary depending on many factors including the processing speed of the host device, file attributes and other factors related to system configuration and your operating environment. The RT-AX88U is tastefully designed, with few of the attention-seeking trappings of the gamer-oriented ROG Rapture GT-AX11000. Only the gold-lined cut-outs on the four antennae hint that there’s anything special about this router. Aside, my wan line is in the basement and I suppose it doesn’t make sense to have latest wifi6 there (or even wifi). But, it looks like the latest functionalities for QoS and such are provided only with wifi routers. And even those on this short list don’t have everything. But selectively, they are the best in their grade. I use the broadband connection as the main criterium, except for the case of the TP-Link Archer AX10, whose main strong point is affordability.

Thanks for all the clear info. Using some columns (and old CNET videos of yours yours I set up the family networking using a shoe string budget maybe 5 years ago. I’ve got an ONT coming in near the home office in a less than ideal spot in our 2000 square foot 2 story home. My router is an honest to god fossil-an apple time capsule. I run ethernet to the home upstairs office, and then I run an actiontec Moca Adapter/WIFi access point to the media center downstairs. We have an older home (plaster and lathe not drywall) that’s well insulated and divided up so I assume AiMesh can also be configured from the mobile app. AiMesh allows you to use other ASUS routers to build a custom mesh network in your home. You can also use ZenWiFi nodes in the mesh. This allows you to combine the features of a gaming router with the compact nodes of a mesh system. If you share your Wi-Fi with others, this is a great way to keep priority access to your LAN gaming port without compromising Wi-Fi coverage in the rest of your home.

WLAN (Wifi) standardy: Wi-Fi 1 (802.11a), Wi-Fi 2 (802.11b), Wi-Fi 3 (802.11g), Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n), Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) I have a reasonably large house (over 3k sq/ft) and have the router in the center of the house underneath a wood floor. It’s actually done a fine job of reaching outdoor Nest cameras, doorbels, etc. I haven’t had any issues until it started to fail. In general, you need to provide a space of up to 70×40×20 cm to place the router, or attach it to the wall. And, of course, you need to provide sufficient ventilation, because the hardware is powerful. The TP-Link AX1500 doesn’t have much to brag about. It’s on this list because of its affordability. Keep that in mind — it’s best not to expect the world from it.

Just replace my current router with RT-AX89X or GT AX-11000 – hoping that it can handles all the devices and my problems goes away. I’m sold. I knew that 802.11ax would mean faster Wi-Fi, but the reality is better than I’d dared hope for. Not only is it massively faster than 802.11ac at short range, it maintains that huge advantage through obstacles and over long distances. Hitherto I’ve been using a Netgear Orbi mesh system to ensure I get decent coverage throughout my home but with Wi-Fi 6 it’s simply not necessary. Perhaps it’s an exaggeration to say that 802.11ax changes everything but it does overturn the established wisdom of what you can expect from a wireless connection. I was wondering what would you suggest knowing that the Ac1450 reaches about 80% of the distance I was hoping before I can no longer stream video. As you can see, we’re dealing with a state-of-the-art network device that has a powerful hardware and functionality.

My wife and I just moved from a one-level condo to a 2-story (plus basement) house, and now we’re regularly dropping network which is pretty rough for the whole “working from home” thing, especially since she’s frequently on video calls and can’t really afford to be reconnecting every 30 minutes. Sometimes both of our work laptops will be booted simultaneously, but it frequently happens to just one of us, and we haven’t noticed any issues with our mobile devices dropping. Trying to figure out whether this is a “replace the router” situation or if other troubleshooting is needed first. I have fiber at home (theoretically up to 10Gb), I have a big box from the provider which has 1 ethernet 10Gb port (plug to the tv box), 4 classic ethernet ports and wifi 2.4/5Ghz. Thank you and apologies if you have this covered and I was unable to unearth it. If you can share the link I will gladly do my own homework.
