ASUS - AiMesh AX6100 WiFi System (RT-AX92U 2 Pack)

One of the best purchases I've ever made. I basically stopped playing my PS5 altogether until I bought the Portal the day it was released. Now I play all the time so I'm actually getting my money's worth out of my PS5 now. I much prefer handheld gaming, my Switch was almost never played on my TV, and the Portal gives me a handheld PS5. It definitely needs a good network though. It worked pretty well on my old Netgear XR1000 but that piece of junk crapped out on me. It doesn't work so well on my Unifi UDR7, which breaks my heart because it's an otherwise amazing router, but I inherited an old Asus AX92U and I set that up as a dedicated network for just my PS5 and Portal. I use a separate VLAN on the Unifi for the Asus and have my wifi channels set apart to keep congestion at a minimum. It works amazingly well with my setup, you'd never know it was being streamed.

I bought a pair of asus ax6100s about 3.5 years ago and they are both going strong. If/when I need to expand coverage even more I'll buy another pair because they are extremely easy to add to the network. I'll probably wait to upgrade to 7 until I get fiber (or high split) and need the extra capacity. https://a.co/d/bPoUsWV

I have a set of asus wifi 6 mesh and just swapped out the main router with a wifi 7 and relegated the old one to mesh work. Theoretically we shouldn't need repeaters based on the size of the house but there is something in the walls (old ass house) that seems to be interfering with wifi. I know not everyone feels tech savvy but paying an isp for their router is a ridiculous idea. Most people should have someone in their circle that can help them pick one out and install it. For anyone who may be confused about the above. I bought a 2 pack of asus AX6100 one of which was being used as the main router with the second one as a mesh AP. I replaced the main router with an asus be9700 and promoted the other back to mesh where needed.

Pull Ethernet or fibre if possible. If not then a wireless system like a pair of the Asus ax92u will do wonders. It's fast dedicated backhaul band has a very long range and works well.

I have 3 Google wifi mesh nodes along with an Asus ax92u wifi 6 router for sell if anyone is interested.

I have an Asus ROG AX11000, two AX86Us, and one AX92U. 4000Sq home, seems to work fine. I will be replacing them with Ubiquity equipment once I decide to upgrade.

Been more stable with better throughput than my GT-AX11000 and my RT-AX92U. Plus, my gateway and APs are discrete products, so I can upgrade my AP to a new generation without replacing everything and paying more $$ to upgrade.

I'm no expert at all in networks. I use Asus tri band routera running Merlin firmware. I have one router at the far end of the house on the 1at floor and the second router at the opposite end on the second floor. The signal extends to the yard and fully covers the house with Wi-Fi 6. House is close to 3k square feet. I have the routers hardwired since that provided the best connection. If you go the Merlin website you'll see what routers are supported.

Avoid tp-link and any other CCP networking equipment. Don't intentionally put stuff with backdoors in them just to save a few bucks. Unifi is great but it's expensive and you really should use it wired. If you're just looking for plug and play mesh Asus has good offerings. Their AI mesh system works well

I've had zero problems with M1 for many years. Only went down once, and that was for scheduled maintenance in the middle of the night. Also, it's not just your internet plan that could be the cause of any issues. If your router isn't good enough, or is in a terrible position, or is overheating, or the bomb shelter is between your laptop and the router, you are gonna have issues no matter what plan you have. I have a standard 1Gbps plan but an Asus gaming router with ethernet cables going to the 3 heaviest users in the home – PS5, living TV and bedroom TV. I also set up a second router using Asus AImesh to provide wifi signal to one of the further corners of the house.

I've been using AiMesh since the beginning, and it was rocky at first, but now I'm currently quite happy with it. One solid main router and two APs outside. What unifi did you get to replace your setup and do you think it was worth the cost?

Asus AiMesh - Yea TP-Link Deco - Yes TP-Link Easy Mesh - Not sure

ASUS aimesh is the best option besides true ap based systems.

I've been using Asus Aimesh for years. 3 nodes and seamless switching when walking around. There does seem to be a client limit at about 75-80 wifi devices whiche forced me to move iot devices to a separate wifi network. Asus is great to start with but unifi likely my next system

I use Asus routers in my Ai mesh network and it gives me complete control over everything and I've loved it. I use that coupled with family link from Google and I feel like I've done my job as a parent blocking as much bullshit as I can for my kids.  But don't worry, their friends who's parents don't care about a single thing they consume will come along and ruin your hard work. Or your kids will be kids and find loop holes, which they always do. But you still tried. 

Asus AiMesh can be configured without an app and uses local credentials for management.

For gaming use cable, for wifi coverage of this size, you can do well with asus aimesh, you can pick two routers of your choice, cheaper than ismesh system and many settings available.

I went from DD-WRT for years to ASUS AiMesh and have been on Unifi equipment for a good four years now. I never have any issues with roaming (3600+ home) and I can fine tune whenever necessary (rare). I love the Unifi and don't plan on moving away any time soon. If you want peace of mind, I definitely also recommend Unifi.

As has been said, plug in everything you can. For a basic option, the Asus routers with AiMesh are a pretty simple solution. Start with one on the second floor centrally located and see if you need more. Use inSSIDer to see how your signal strength is as what kind of interference you have and set settings accordingly. If you’re not reaching all corners, add another compatible Asus and put them on floors 1 and 3 (both wired connection to WAN jack)

ASUS AIMESH Stable and cheap.
