"Love my Tea Pros, favorite set for gaming ... Tea Pros are unbelievable value for gaming. ... I mostly play Hunt: Showdown and they do almost feel like cheating in some compounds. ... The sense of space is immaculate, both distance and directionality is about as good as it gets for gaming. ... The Tea Pros do a better job of establishing space around you so I will continue to use the Tea Pros for gaming."
"I could pinpoint footsteps with such ease, which I couldn't even do with my headset!"
"For gaming the Tea Pros so far are a 10/10, I play mostly Hunt: Showdown and the additional separation, staging, and tighter but punchy bass were all noticeably better for my ears."

"Some of the kelty tents have these sleeves that the bottom of the poles go into and it makes solo setup a breeze."
"I could set up in the dark without a light"
"An all clip suspension tent is much easier to pitch solo than a tent that uses sleeves."

"My home is single story with 5 bedroom with 506 square meters house.30 plus connected devices.dont have any buffering issue at my place to play xbox ps5 watch live 4k channels."
"After losing around 1% per hour down to 10-15% with gas furnaces running, I can now have the whole house around 35-40% with the Aprilaire 800 on a 5 ton unit for the largest area of the house."
"After 6 years of using it for all my security cameras and IoT it’s basically pointless to run CAT cable throughout a house in today’s world. ... I have 3 wireless cameras on my deck, 2 on my garage, one on my door, 2 inside my home. ... Including the other random 70 devices throughout my basement (movie room), office (2nd floor) in a 3500sqft home and have literally zero issues, from stream live security streams, streaming movies, gaming doesn’t matter"

"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 primary and secondary mesh access points. The primary is in the house and the secondary is in another small building about 80ft away with no problems."
"I download 50tb a month on my server and steam Plex to nearly ten simultaneous users this way. Never had any issues relating to the wifi side of it."

"My Nest Wifi serves 4 pucks (all wirelessly) and it's rock solid."
"Yet here I am using wireless mesh happily along with the 4 other members of the household. Streaming, gaming, videoconferencing, it all works without a second thought or household consultation."
"Have not had to reset any of it since installation several months ago."

"I returned mine because it was very minimally configurable. ... It wouldn't even let me set it up without internet access, and I wanted to use it in an offline lab. ... That said, it's probably fine for regular users if you have no intention of ever digging into things."
"UI wise? the thing sucks. ... there's just so many basic things you can't do. ... for starters, all the administration has to be done from a mobile app. ... the web based "admin" page just has some basic diagnostics and no ability to configure anything."
"Once I moved away from the FRITZ stuff I finally got options to fix buffer bloat and do proper QoS."

"Very limited settings so if you buy Chinese devices to save money like tablets and use gaming devices don't get it."
"I find the ASUS firmware and app not great. ... I find the ASUS zenwifi system too "automagic" for my liking. ... I naively thought I'd find a way to do this with something like the ASUS mesh, but alas.... no. ... logs aren't verbose enough."

I just bought one and used it for two days. It's a 2025 and hardware 1.0 version. It took me an hour phone call with the Support to resolve WAN connection issue to be able to start to use it from the get-go. I have Xfinity. For some reason, 2 out 3 times, the WAN light is red after connecting the cable modem to 10G WAN port. I don't have this issue with my old Google WIFI router. So the Support asked me to unplug cable model for 2 minutes and plug it back on and then log onto Web UI and go through "Quick Internet Setup" to detect connection. After this, WAN issue was resolved. I was able to use it. I updated the firmware to the latest version: 3.0.0.6.102\_37548. Over the last two days, it suddenly rebooted four times. The longest hours it's running so far is 18 hours. I am still researching this rebooting issue. It looks like might be a firmware bug somewhere as I couldn't see anything from system log that would explain the reboots. Whenever it rebooted, I touched the router and it wasn't overheating. I can totally understand why the reviews are so mixed. I will probably have to keep it as it's the only WIFI7 router at $200-$300 that supports 2.4G/5G/6G, VPN, 10G WAN port, 4x2.5G LAN ports, and 5G Mobile tethering...
r/ASUS • Asus RT-BE92U ->Nauh, if anything the Pro is better. But honestly, I’d ditch it all completely. I thought it would be seamless, it is, but has zero advanced customization. When these die, I’ll get back on to Asus or something that can take custom firmware. Anyway, the Pro has Ethernet port on each AP, so it can use a wired backhaul.

r/GoogleWiFi • Is Google nest Wi-Fi router and wifi points (one with google assistant) worth buying? ->4 software engineers ??!! .. cmon.. don’t matter who your ISP is , if you have a crappy setup , you’re gonna have “wifi” drops you want to setup a MESH system at your home - i recommend ubiquiti but setup can be tricky so , maybe those google Nest routers ? THIS IS IMPORTANT - for ISP , make sure your uploads either match your download or something over 100mbps - a lot of ISPs cheap you with high UP but low DOWN I use Google Fiber
r/AskSF • I don't care how much it costs, what is the best wifi in 2025 ->I had ResTech internet at one of my apartments previously as well and was happy with the google nest router.
r/madisonwi • Best router for ResTech internet? ->I cannot get my Deco Xe200 to connect to the network despite many hours on the phone with customer support. My OLD SLOW google wifi is rock solid. With the new push from congress on May 15, I'm done fooling with it and sticking with what works.
r/wireless • Best wifi router to buy in 2025? ->I just recent replace my nest Wi-Fi pro with a One and it's been way more solid. I always used to get disconnects (most likely from the ad/tracking blocker) from the nest but this one had been way better then i expected. Even on the snapshot versions it's been way more stabe, but I'm only using it as a dumb ap. Opnsense is my main router

r/openwrt • OpenWRT One or just buy an off-the-shelf router? ->I dumped Google's Nest Pro for the TPlink BE95 and been great! Real wired backhaul, and wireless if you want. I think that you probably want a wired backend. Do you have coax cable in your home? You can link everything up with Docsis 2.5 GBps using those runs without having to run new wire. Alternately, you could look Ethernet over power. I think they have 2.5 Gbps for that too.
r/googlehome • What Mesh Wifi Is Everyone Using ? ->I had the Google nest WiFi router and WiFi points for 3 years. The WiFi would randomly drop, sometimes new devices wouldn’t even be able to connect and it was just bad all around. I switched to eero and had none of the same issues which is when I realized it was Google nest issues and not network issues or I would have trashed the Google nest sooner.

r/GoogleWiFi • Is Google nest Wi-Fi router and wifi points (one with google assistant) worth buying? ->It depends if the specs meet your needs I still use Google WiFi, it's fine for what I need.
r/GoogleWiFi • Nest Wifi still worthy in 2025?! ->I ended up getting the google nest because it was on sale. It still wasn’t giving me the entire 1000mbps but as long i was close enough it would get around 600 to 700. But afterwards i found out that my pc wifi receiver wasn’t capable of wifi 6e anyway so i decided to just go down to a lower tier.
r/nbn • Need some router recommendations for speeds over 1000mbps. ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
