Asus ROG Rapture GT-AX6000. It was a beast of a router, I think the fastest most powerful wifi 6 router ever. Range was incredible. Only reason I got rid of it was when I upgraded to wifi 7.
Same, been with M1 for the past 3 years since moving into my new place. Never had to call them a single time, except to renew my plan.
I chose a router bundle (Asus ROG Rapture GT-AX6000) with a 1Gbps plan initially, then upgraded to 3Gbps cos it was cheap. The router comes with a gaming ethernet port that prioritizes traffic through that port, so that's where my PS5 goes.
I've had various Asus routers over the last few years, currently GT-AX6000. 25 devices, (20) wifi and (5) lan right now. 3 different vlans, 3 ssids. Rock solid since i bought it. Every few years I buy a new one, move the older one to basement to connect via wired mesh. Coverage inside and outside of my house.
I also wonder about this, recently had my sub and 100's surrounds stop working with my Arc. Move and playbar still work fine though. From what I've discovered sonos doesn't like my Asus GT-AX6000 router that I recently upgraded to. Worked fine for a while but started giving me hell this weekend.
Before I upgraded to a Firewalla Gold Plus and TP-Link Omada EAP670v2 WAP, I was using an Asus ROG Rapture AX6000 and I swore by that thing. Highly recommended. Used to love the TP-Link Archer series too. This dude has some good info on options. https://dongknows.com/
Couple of Asus router recommendations. There's the GT-AX6000 or RT-AX88U Pro, two different wifi 6 routers that have virtually the same electronics inside. If you want to stick your toe in the water with wifi 7, there's the RT-BE96U,, which has been on sale a lot. Both of these routers have given me great service, stable and full wireless coverage at my home. They also both have a 2.5Gbps WAN port, as well as at least one 2.5Gbps LAN port.
Currently using wifi 7 Asus routers for our wireless, and it's been up since I set it up, about 5 weeks ago, no problems. Very fast and, as I said, great wireless coverage. Using the Asus ZenWiFi BT10 mesh as my AP, with a wired Asus router. Because the BT10 mesh uses MLO wireless backhaul, I get almost my ISP's provisioned speed all over the house.
I've been reading about the RT-BE92U, and from what I've read I don't think that I'd go that way. Too many firmware problems. Yes, I'd have to say that the GT-AX6000 or RT-AX88U is a better option than the RT-BE92U. If I was going to go for wifi 7, I'd go for the RT-BE96U, as I said before. Must be over your budget, though. Home networking is kind of a hobby of mine, so I allow myself to spend some money on it.
For me the only thing holding back wifi 7 is the lack of wifi 7 clients, assuming that you make a careful router selection. Couldn't get an Apple wifi 7 desktop or laptop last time I looked. However, wifi 7 clients are compatible with wifi 6, so you're fine staying with wifi 6 until you feel that wifi 7 is stable enough for you.
