I’m running BE92u and 2 BT10 as aimesh, not bad though
I just tested out a handful of mesh systems, Eero6, TP Link XE 75 Pro and their BE63. All worked fine in our 3100 SF drywall and lumber home. But the apps or web gui were all dumbed down / simple. I settled on the ASUS BT10 two pack. Fast and crazy coverage. Great app and web gui IF you want to tweak settings.
Asus zenwifi is a great and user friendly. Get the BT10 or BQ16.
I got BT10 about a week ago. I got a 2 pack and the node is wired. I have 3gbps internet and need to connect using PPPoE. Works well for the most part. I get full 3gigs over wire snd 2500+ up and down over wireless. Still playing around with some of the advanced features like fronthaul MLO. Only turn on MLO if you have WiFi 7 devices that support it and create a separate network for it.
I recently bought the Asus ZenWifi BT 10 two pack and am very happy with it. It is stable, fast, and has great coverage. Plays well with others.
Seconding the BT 10. I also cannot run Cat cable through my home due to having 2 stories and nothing lines up for a drop. I have the base in our loft and the node down in the kitchen. The whole house is covered and speeds are fantastic! I also like Asus for their free software to block malicious attacks that other companies don’t offer.
the be550 cheaper because of the cpu 1.5 GHz and 1GB ram, be800 is 2.2 GHz, 1GB ram Take a closer look of [https://dongknows.com/tp-link-archer-ge650-review/](https://dongknows.com/tp-link-archer-ge650-review/) which have comparation, reviews, and importantly have a speed test by the way, i'm using asus zenwifi bt10, not on the top list, just because can't rent those from isp
I have the Hitron CODA56 modem and the Asus ZenWiFi BT10 (and BT8) router. I think it’s a great combo, although I did have some weird issues with my router losing connection periodically at first. Wi-Fi 7 capable and lots of advanced networking options (for free, no subscription) if you want to go deeper, or you can keep it simple and just use the app.
I really like the ASUS ZenWiFi series. I have the BT10 and BT8 as a mesh pair, but might be overkill if you don’t need Wi-Fi 7 (or care about future-proofing). I find ASUS routers easy to set up but you can really dive deep into options if you feel the need to, and they don’t charge a subscription for access to the advanced options.
I saw your note about the Black Friday deal and that's great! I think the BT8 is just as good as the BT10 in most ways, plus the 10Gbit Ethernet ports on the BT10 are probably overkill for most people. But yes, I use the BT10 as my primary router, directly connected to my Xfinity modem, and the BT8 is a satellite node connected by wireless backhaul. I really haven't had any major issues using them in that way and they still connect seamlessly. I'm sure your set of BT8s will work just as smoothly.
Using the Asus ZenWiFi BT10 mesh here, in AP mode. 2 nodes covers our 2000 sq. ft. house. Has stayed up for about 6 - 7 weeks until I had to make some changes that required rebooting it...the BT10 mesh has been very stable for long periods in AP mode. AP mode gives you all the wifi benefits of wifi-7, which is what wifi-7 is all about :-). Anyways, I can recommend it highly for stability, and wireless coverage and speed. One of the features of this mesh that I really like is the use of MLO for wireless backhaul. This makes wireless backhaul just a little bit slower than hard-wired ethernet backhaul. Can't do wired backhaul here, so I'm very happy with the wireless MLO backhaul between nodes. Good price on Amazon at the moment, less than $600 for 2 nodes.
I'm using an Asus ZenWiFi BT10 mesh with wireless backhaul, and it works really well. The wireless backhaul uses wifi-7 MLO (despite whether you use MLO for clients or not), and this really ups the wireless backhaul game for a mesh. Very close to as fast as when I used wired backhaul via MoCA. So no, wired backhaul is not necessary to see great speed from your mesh. By the way, no dead zones here, full house wireless coverage using the mesh. We can't really run ethernet cables "all over the house" here due to having no attic and no crawl space...and I don't want to rip the walls and go through all that. Don't feel that I need to with our current solution anyways.
I didn't pay $600 for each BT10. I paid about $600 for both BT10's. Stll a lot of money, but they perform better than any wifi-6 mesh that I've had due to the MLO wireless backhaul.
