ASUS - RT-AX89X

I use an Asus ax89x and have a fibre-optic sfp+, going out to another part of the house.

hi, got the Asus AX6000,really great performance and not so expensive.

I bought one and but its slower than my Asus ax6000 😢

Asus ax 6000 had the most powerful range I found way back when. It is limited by the fcc (what ever determines radio broadcasting power) for routers. Like others are saying, putting down fiber or a cable 100ft would not be too bad. Ubiquiti has a long range outdoor extender but is very expensive. Starlink could be another option if you don’t want spectrum.

I got rid of my Asus AX6000 and AX3000 for a single Reyee RG-EW7200BE-PRO and I am thoroughly impressed. Better in every way and way cheaper than the Asus devices.

Asus is terrible. I just got rid of all my Asus routers. I'm using a single Reyee RG-EW7200BE-PRO now. What a difference, the software is a million times better and the performance is far superior for half the price of Asus.

I bought a spool of cat5e cable before my house renovation thinking that 1 gigabit would be enough forever. The cable turned out to be utter crap and barely skirting the edge. Wont negotiate above 100 mbit. After many-MANY hours of making new jacks and trying all kinds of magic I just bought 3 ASUS wifi 6 routers and the AImesh is actually perfectly fine. 600 megs in my living room via mesh and my computer is the only device with a gigabit connection as the ONT is in my office. Spent 150 euros on a 3 pack of ASUS routers. Works just fine until I move on to some Ubiquiti wifi7 mesh.

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.

if you insist on wifi i personally love asus ai mesh. i’ve had nothing but great experiences with it so far. speeds are consistent through my entire house. eero on the other hand i personally have had very, very bad luck with. Devices that don’t roam properly across the nodes correctly, hit or miss connection drops during hand offs, poor speeds on satellite nodes (even with the pro models with tri band) and half of the good features being behind a stupid paywall. i personally wouldn’t ever touch eero again.

Asus aimesh, for years no reboot needed.
