"Some of the kelty tents have these sleeves that the bottom of the poles go into and it makes solo setup a breeze."
"I could set up in the dark without a light"
"An all clip suspension tent is much easier to pitch solo than a tent that uses sleeves."

"I have a 2 ZenWiFi AX’s on each floor of my house. WiFi everywhere, including a bench at the back fence of the property kicks butt."
"The coverage is amazing and the speed is good everywhere. ... Heck, as soon as I turn onto my street my phones switch to it and I'm the 4th house down."
"I have 30 devices connected, most dormant, but still hold 130mbps+ for each on a 500mb ISP. ... I stream all TV and WFH without issues."

"No devices connect to any nodes, only the primary access point."
"the AX3000 is only 2x2 dual band and has no dedicated radio for meshing, so if you mesh wirelessly, you end up halving the 5GHz bandwidth."
"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."

"Last year, I bought an ASUS AX3000 WiFi 6 Router, but I returned it. I used it for ~3 weeks, but it was super unreliable compared to my current Asus AC-1900. I never figured out why. I thought it would be an upgrade, but it seemed slower and had tons of connection issues."
"every client connected to the AX3000 will have at best half the bandwidth available, because of its data having to be repeated on the same 5GHz channel to the AX86U."
"Only issue is that I only get around 300 Mbit between one end of my property and the other, where I both have computers. ... But I think that's because that's a few walls and doors between the two routers."

"Maybe i screwed up the configuration, but it was also more complicated than my current Asus. Hoping to avoid that again. Need something the other family members can handle without any input, like we currently have."

"The range is not really the best"
"I wish I could get 2 acre coverage from my router which is also on the 2nd floor."
Preach it! Got new huawei, since I already had an older one(router 3) - wanted to simply use new one as dedicated VR router. On paper it was great - in practice is was constant stutter for no reason; No matter what I did with setting, nothing changed - in fact, it was worse than my old huawei. Got a new asus(rt-ax57) - no problems, basically perfect quality in the same exact setup, same settings for wifi.
r/OculusQuest • What would be your recommendation on wifi 6e routers? ->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.
r/askSingapore • Recommendation for home broadband ->I use Asus RT-AX57 Go - a great choice.
r/HomeNetworking • Portable router recommendation ->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?
r/HomeNetworking • What is the Best WiFi Mesh System for Home? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ->Asus AiMesh - Yea TP-Link Deco - Yes TP-Link Easy Mesh - Not sure
r/HomeNetworking • Wifi mesh system ->ASUS aimesh is the best option besides true ap based systems.
r/HomeNetworking • Best mesh WiFi system for a large house with dead zones and multiple floors? ->I've had horrible experiences with TP link. Been really happy with my Asus mid range router. YMMV
r/HomeNetworking • Router options ->72 including tax. It's an rt - ax57
r/HomeNetworking • Router options ->Yes, set up is easy. I was a network engineer, but I think the process is simple even without any expertise. I'd recommend not buying the latest or most expensive router and look for a well reviewed mid range option.
r/HomeNetworking • Router options ->Also, just use the same network name (ssid) and pw as your old network and all your devices won't require any modification.
r/HomeNetworking • Router options ->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
r/wifi • I need the best wifi mesh system for whole-home coverage ->Nah dude, you don’t need to waste money on one of those “network security plans.” Most consumer routers are fine right out of the box as long as you tweak a few settings. If you grab something decent in the $100–$150 range (TP-Link Archer AX21, ASUS RT-AX57, Netgear, etc.), just do this after setting it up: • Change the default admin login. • Use WPA2 or WPA3 for Wi-Fi security. • Turn off WPS and remote management. • Keep firmware updated. That’s honestly 90% of what those “security subscriptions” do anyway, minus the upsell. When the tech installs that Cat6 wall jack, you’ll just plug your new router into it and you’re good. You’ll save cash over time and still be plenty secure.
r/HomeNetworking • I'm thinking of buying my own router for my apartment, do I need to buy security along with it? ->I installed 3 Asus routers in my house about a year ago and I'm very happy with my decision. Main one is a TUF Gaming AX4200, other two are ASUS RT-AX57. They are configured as a hardwired mesh. I find them to be super stable and with a ton of functionality. You can use tethering via USB, there's some level of blocking and child filtering, you can create groups of users (kids, parents, etc). It doesn't go as deep as using other tools like pihole of course. I love that I can access home assistant (and anything inside my LAN) through a wireguard tunnel direcly on the router from my phone or laptop. They are not too expensive either. And there are probably newer models by now.
