"I've got 3 bands set, one for guest, 1 for 2.4 and 5. ... I can set up a website for guest mode and have all the control I need through their app. ... I moved away from Google and others because I needed dedicated bands for IoT devices."

endlezzdrift 0.2I second this, just got the BE98Pro and I have alot of devices and its rock solid.
Hopperofbop 0.2I bought two ASUS BE98’s (and meshed them) to use via my HH5, and the 6G was super fast but the 2g was proper useless. Even 2g IoT was crap. Ended up useless. Ordered a TP Link Archer 550 which arrives tomorrow so hoping it’s much better. So so disappointed in the Asus. The HH5 just isn’t strong enough for distance imo.
Jesta914630114 0.2I'm insane and bought an Asus GT-BE98 router. I have been having some stability issues though.
LORD-SOTH- 0.2I have been using an ASUS RT GE98 since last year. It performs flawlessly, just like in the video review here. [https://youtu.be/XrOYtdEI-KQ](https://youtu.be/XrOYtdEI-KQ) I'm getting around 600 mbps upload / download speeds in all my bedrooms across multiple concrete walls. I advise getting a router with 10 gbps capability for future proofing. Recently I got myself a NAS which came with a 10 gbps LAN port. The ASUS GT BE98 paired very well with the NAS due to the 10 gbps LAN port and allowed me to take full advantage of 10 gbps transfer speeds.
I’m living in a 2 storey house too. You can’t go wrong with any of the monster 8 antennas WiFi routers from ASUS. I’m currently using a ASUS GT-BE98. Router is located downstairs. For the bedrooms upstairs, I am getting wifi speeds of 600 Mbps. For downstairs, I am getting wifi speeds of 900 - 1000 Mbps. My previous router was an ASUS AC5300. Another monstrous 8 Antenna wifi behemoth. :) No WiFi dead spots ever. Just 1 router simple setup. No mesh required. I even have strong wifi signals at the carpark driveway of my property.

RobbinYoHood 0.2As others have said.. repeaters suck. There's ethernet over power adapters. Which aren't amazing but do a fairly solid job and can get you 1-200 Mbps - would still need a router on the other end of it. I've definitely seen routers improve wifi range... Asus gt-ax6000 would probably do the job for you I'd say. And it should be in that budget? I changed from some Asus maybe rc-86u or something similar, to an ax6000 and it was very noticeable the extra range. I'm also an Asus fanboy for home networking, however I know they aren't flawless (but the issues I've run into are with a gt-be98 and 2x bt10s in an aimesh setup and for things you're unlikely to use or care about anyway). That's my two cents - and I'm very much not an expert.
simplyeniga 0.2I'll pick the Asus, better coverage and all features available without going through a pay wall.
SnekiBlackDragon 0.2If you want best router go with asus be98 if you are in USA go with beżowi pro but beware its expensive and like every brand can have os issues some times. From other side you have everything you need or want and everything is free don’t have micro transactions.
edck12687 0.1I personally use all rog routers using their AI mesh
