I 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.
If 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.
UniFi Cloud Gateway Fiber + a U7 Pro imo. I opted for the U7 Pro Max, and speeds and coverage are fantastic.
You literally cannot go wrong with this device and the U7 AP. It is serious bang for buck, as well as the UniFi feature set within it.
I used to always go ASUS, and while their hardware is outstandingly good, the BE-98 just disappointed me so much. Not only do I now have a smaller form factor setup, I have a few hundred bucks back into my wallet lol.
Consumer routers are just so garbage lately. ASUS would be the one I’d recommend, but their UI and features are just grossly lacking for the cost of their devices.
TL;DR. UniFi is the way to go. It’s a lot like traditional routers, but a step up. There’s tons of videos and things to learn, all on YouTube. If you can figure out normal routers, these are really not much harder, and the subreddit is usually pretty nice and helpful.
Nah, I had the GT AX11000 and while it’s good, it’s not good enough for the features. I even upgraded to the BE98 Pro, and it was so ass. ASUS needs to do much better considering how much they charge people, major disappointment.
