ZenWiFi XD4S

I am using the RT-BE92U and XD4 as an access point in mesh upstairs in UK too. Good system using the app. Downside is ISP provide ONT which is gigabit ports only so anything over that is Wifi only. Shame as Router itself has a 10gb port and 2.5gb ports. Good Parental controls. Downside to Asus in general is using IoT on 2.4ghz. Asus and smart devices don't seem to like each other. (Reolink, aqara, govee etc!)

My opinion. Asus aimesh. I have tried TP Link X50 but they spend more time offline than on. Orbi is superb however its too rigid. One router and 2 satellites doesnt like bridge mode or AP Mode. I moved to Asus with RT-BE92U as router and XD4 mini access points. Router mode, AP mode both work well. Versatility of being able to use most of their routers interchangeably as access points. There are downsides. Asus mesh doesnt seem to like IoT devices for smart home. Speakers, bulbs etc. Haven't tried Ubiquiti which a lot of people absolutely praise. If it was within my budget I would try it. Comes down to budget. If you can afford it. Ubiquiti by all accounts. Asus is a great option, Orbi is good if you use it as they want you to. TP Link for me is budget friendly but I think you would end up replacing it and spending again.

Yes, you're almost spot on. Avoid TP-Link Wi-Fi '6' routers. Those and Huawei Wi-Fi '6' routers are known to cause issues. You can use a TP-Link Wi-Fi '6e' router like the AXE75 though, those are great. It's just specifically the TP-Link and Huawei Wi-Fi '6' routers that are an issue. The ASUS AX1800 is an excellent choice! I've used one of those extensively for VR and it's excellent. As long as it's setup correctly I'd easily recommend one.

Wi-Fi 6 I can personally vouch for the ASUS AX1800 or AX3000 routers. Avoid TP-Link and Huawei Wi-Fi '6' routers for VR gaming specifically, they're know to cause issues. Their Wi-Fi '6e' routers are fine though. In terms of connecting multiple headsets to the same router, do you mean you're playing native games downloaded on the Quests [no PC] and are just using the router to get internet to them? Or do you have multiple PCs setup and doing PC VR gaming?

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.

Asus AiMesh - Yea TP-Link Deco - Yes TP-Link Easy Mesh - Not sure

ASUS aimesh is the best option besides true ap based systems.
