"Literally couldn't think of any pair of IEMs + dongle dacs could sound as analytical as the C3P+ for around $70. ... detail is just sooo much better. The C3P+ is just leagues ahead the I5 in terms of detail and resolution. ... the C3P+ is actually the closest sounding one to really expensive iems or headphone that I have."
"Can't recommend them enough for the value, sound like $200 earphones."
"Crazy good from the jump! ... When you factor in they're only $99 and go toe-to-toe with Bose QC Ultra at $299, this is the deal of the year!"

"The Ubiquity has awesome traffic stats right in the app. ... Most people have zero idea about their utilization….but the Ubiquity gives you all that in amazing detail and history….that even rivals commercial gear without all kinds of expensive management software."
"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."
"The most advanced Cloud Gateways, like the UCG-Max and the UCG-Fiber, and the Dream Machines can also do what the Cloud Key does plus acting as a router."

"I just bought 3 ASUS wifi 6 routers and the AImesh is actually perfectly fine. ... 600 megs in my living room via mesh"
"As long as the routers support AiMesh you can mix Wifi 5/6/7 without issue"
"I use Asus routers in my Ai mesh network and it gives me complete control over everything and I've loved it."

"The big issue (for me) with the RT-BE88U is that it has only 2 bands, 2.4GHz. and 5GHz., which limits your MLO opportunities."

"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."
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 ->FYI , all of our current routers and mesh product all have extensive on router functionality including Open, Wireguard and much more. As such you could pick BT6, 8, 10, 16 our any of the routers. Also all of the units have our Gaming QoS option for prioritizing game packets and or specific systems, if you want a more streamlined experience our gaming models ( ROG, ROG STRIX, TUF GAMING ) also have dedicated Gaming Ports which are pre configured should you connect your device to that port. You can also do this manually through our firmware/app. Also note unless you need the coverage specific to a kit ( which can be done via AiMesh ) on the router side you have the benefit of no backhual use maximizing throughput if you are within the coverage area of a router.
r/HomeNetworking • Thinking of getting the ASUS ZenWiFi BT8 router ->I got an Asus TUF AX4200 for about $170 on Amazon - very good router. You could get the higher end option for a bit more but it's probably not worth it. I'm with Launtel on their 250/100 plan which has been great for wfh, but the 1000/400 is plenty tempting.

r/nbn • Router/modem ->The Asus TUF-AX4200 is great. I bought it couple of months ago and it just has been great and fun, from flashing OpenWRT to upgrading it, the performance is great, storage is plenty, etc. I got it like 150CAD from Staple
r/HomeNetworking • "Best" consumer router under $200? ->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 TUF AX4200 or AX6000. Both work with 1Gbps+ SQM.
r/openwrt • Router recommendation for SQM on 300/300 Mbps connection? ->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 prefer routers with openWRT support to migrate if official firmware support ends. I use ASUS TUF AX4200 and RT-AX59u for standard usage and asus tuf ax6000 if more speed or power is required (like thick walls and NAS).
r/wifi • What would you recommend as a safe, fast router? ->Then, look for something with at least 3x3 streams. Like ASUs tuf ax4200 or ASUs rt-ax59u. OpenWRT is a open source router firmware which you can use if your router doesn’t get any updates anymore or you need a feature which his hidden by the original firmware. It’s for using your router longer than the manufacturer wants it.
r/wifi • Which router is best? ->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 ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
