"saucony peregrines i like alot ... usually can find good prices ... got a pair on amazon for 50 bucks that was the 13s which r their best year haha"


"Mine has already been making this summer way more bearable than the last. ... It's very worth it for the amount of comfort it affords. I appreciate being able to think about things besides how overheated I am on a warm day. ... Yeah the high summer temps are savage. I cannot operate like that. I'd happily pay hundreds a month to keep my apartment cool when it's 30+ out, at a cost of tens it's not even a question."


"This is exactly what we do too. No point blasting the hvac in the entire house when the only room we want really cold is the bedroom. Has saved us a lot on the energy bill!"

"Unifi provide the most stable wifi network for IoT of all the AP on the market, even with one VLAN, even in mesh configuration. ... I have +200 IoT devices in my home from Apple, Switchbot, Aqara, Logitech, Eufy, Hue, Govee, and numerous exotic brands. I have been through hell with solutions from Apple, Orbi, Peplink, Meraki, Eero, Huawei and many many more. And only since I am rocking on Unifi I can open my Apple Home app with not a single device error !"


"Actually better than a range extender, as Mesh systems are designed from the ground up to work with each other in the system. ... But it's half ass "patched up" jerky jerky mesh was no match to a Deco. Deco was snappier, more reliable, and longer range."


"I have a 2 story 2350sf house. I have an Orbi with the master AP upstairs in the hall covering all the bedrooms rooms. Downstairs I have 2 Orbi Client APs on either end of the house covering all the downstairs, garage, and outside. ... I’ve never had any issues with coverage or bandwidth."

"The Asus 6 and 6e routers/mesh routers are very stable and work fantastically ... I have the xt8 mesh system (2 nodes hardwired) . Haven't had to reset it besides updates in over 2 years after I set it up."


"Yes, using 3 of these routers in AiMesh configuration with the master and two nodes. All routers are connected via 2.5 GbE backbone, working perfectly with the latest firmware 3.0.0.6.102_37506."


"I followed this method with multiple RT-BE92Us in AIMesh: updated to firmware 37500, then factory reset all devices and reconfigured, then updated in the GUI to 37504 when it was released. Thankfully all is working well, with no thermal errors in the logs, CPU utilisation averaging <30% per core even under load, memory utilisation ~80%, AIProtection, QoS and many other features activated. I've now ordered a third unit for further extending my AIMesh."

"I bought last month the asus rapture gt be98. It is running beautifully. So smooth. Network latency about 3ms wireless over 6ghz wifi 7."


"I’m getting the whole gig almost every where in the house"


"Yeah I did buy the Flint 3 router but it completely transformed my WiFi, especially on MLO with my WiFi 7 devices. I don’t get any jitter, latency spikes, or disconnects and everything is smooth"

"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 got the ASUS WIFI7 gaming router as I would never get my gigabit speeds via WiFi. ... Finally even with my $500 router I still only get 650-700 down & up which is disappointing."

500mbs is more than enough for couple of people. Even for doing 4k streaming is fine. Don't really see any benefits of 1gig unless you are downloading/uploading tons of data. 2gb is just overkill and definitely not required. Look at review website dongknows to narrow down the choice of routers based on your requirement. Everyone is different so hard recommend, still some are good. Few router recommendations 1. Unifi UDR7. Great all-in-one router with lots of features. 2. Asus with wifi 7 and support for merlin firmware. Check above website for reviews. 3. If you want more control and would like to go DIY route, Any N100 mini pc with dual nic running opnsense/pfsense on it. Maybe directly or virtualized. Add an AP like unifi or omada or something else.

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.

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.

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?

Was doing research on deco mesh systems and one thing i noticed is that there’s a lot of complaints about hardware revisions and firmware. I was interested in the ability to select preferred connection between decos and device preferred connection. That way i could set the mesh topology as i wanted while steering non mobile devices to specific decos where signals are strong from multiple decos to the correct one. Simple right? Nope. The updated firmware for this feature only applied to specific versions of hw. So a v1 xe75 got it but not a v2 at the time. Then an xe200 didnt have it at all and it some older popular models never got it at all. It just seemed like a mess and the model i ordered didnt have it but amazon lost the pkg so i got an asus instead that feature is just naturally in their firmwareTheir wifi7 models all support it but it’s like they just stop supporting previous popular hardware and move on so quickly

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

I just got the BE3600. It's great, setup was very easy, and I'm impressed by the wifi signals. MUCH better than my previous TP-Link ISP router; across a few walls, I went from ~150mbps to ~800mbps on gigabit. Setup for NBN FTTP was so easy, no configuration needed. I'm a happy camper.
