ROG Rapture GT6

I have an Asus GT6 Triband, worked well out of the box. Now after a few years, I decided to reset my routers to see if I could make it better as I was having trouble with my ISP speed. It turns out, I made it worse. Now, I may have to put moca adapters. Or add ethernet cables to where I need them to be. I now have only one single router working, and it seems better that way for now. I also used to have the Asus XT8s but they were a pain during the 1st year. But got better after the 1st. Now I use them as Nodes and have been good at least. My vote goes to either using ethernet cables or sticking to Moca.

Same. my original Orbi from precovid was garbage performance originally, but after about 6-8 months of continual firmware upgrade was WONDERFUL and blindly fast 880 on a 1GB , symmetric up/down . Rock solid unflappable. But, they stopped updating any firmware and my security software was screaming at me to patch holes. So I researched and almost no one can deal with the new Netgear stuff you and others mention here. So, I went with a pair of Asus ROG GT6's... Stable but otherwise disappointing performance. fantastic tweaking software, but despite this, just 'meh' overall. highly asymmetric performance: fast-ish – still only slightly faster than HALF of what the 5 year old Netgear got on the download. And it's horrible on the upload. So seriously disappointed in Asus. Everyone seems to think Ubiquiti is the best (within reason) and I'm going to sell my Asus Stuff and try that too. Thanks for your info.

Disagree. We had Google mesh years ago. A newer, good triband system with dedicated wireless backhaul will help. Even WiFi 6 ASU rog has a good system. Also recommend the new Eero WiFi max 7 mesh system. it doubles our mesh speeds in a huge home.

Really liked my Asus rog WiFi mesh system. Just upgraded my home internet and the Eero 7 max wifi router mesh system is pretty good too, easy setup.

I have been using the Asus AI-Mesh system for years. Seems very robust, to me. Devices seemlessly switch between the nodes. It handles 2.4ghz and 5ghz fine. Sonos works without a hitch. I am definitely using wired ethernet backhaul, however, from the remote node. Currently two of the Asus RT-AX55.

if you insist on wifi i personally love asus ai mesh. i’ve had nothing but great experiences with it so far. speeds are consistent through my entire house. eero on the other hand i personally have had very, very bad luck with. Devices that don’t roam properly across the nodes correctly, hit or miss connection drops during hand offs, poor speeds on satellite nodes (even with the pro models with tri band) and half of the good features being behind a stupid paywall. i personally wouldn’t ever touch eero again.
