Few-Car-2317I am in a 3 bedroom house. House is Long ways, the router is in opposite side of house. I have 2/3 bars in wifi signal on 5hz. Other routers might have 1/3 bars. Because it goes through several walls. Other routers. Wifi effect in my gaming ping. Where as rs700 wasn’t doing that. I had raxe500 netgear and au82 asus or something. Web browsing was fine, just gaming issues. I tried maybe two other routers wifi7 as well, but I wanted fast ping. Rs700 ping is like 16-20 ping for my gaming. From Brisbane to Sydney maybe. Brisbane to Brisbane is like 6-7ping.
Good-Comment396Nighthawk 500RAXE. It’s been flawless so far.
ribrienI went with a discounted high end wifi 6e router a couple months ago and have been very pleased. Netgear nighthawk RAXE500
tazman137Nighthawk, I’ve got a rs700 but the 500 is good too. I wanted the best I could get so I went with a refurb 700. Love it.
Netgear nighthawk. Spend what you can afford for the coverage you need.
240hzghostNetgear Nighthawk AX12 is really great router and can easily handle more than 10 users. Though if you want to change and If budget is not an issue then, I would suggest you to get Mesh Router with Wifi 6 or 6E like TP Link Deco series or Netgear Orbi series.
Yes, definitely Netgear Nighthawk AX12 will perform way better than TP link.
Adventure-BackpackerYou were right. The Netgear blows the TP Link out of the water!
MK_LBrand only matters for the ui you like. Ausu tends to have more controls, netgear is the more "user friendly", tplink is the half way point. Netgear tends to ship with netgear armor or what ever they call it. Good but annoying that once its on you pretty much have to do a reset to factory to get rid of it . Netgear and sus will let you fully control through the web ui and limited controls on a app so you'd have both. I never used the tplink app if they have one so I dont know about how it works. That said, your requirements seem to be wifi 6 and longevity. So really any netgear AFTER r8000 would do what you want. Netgear: R7xxx <-- no Rax50<-- yes So as only as a 2018 ax8; Ax8/ax12 Rax40, rax50, rax200, ect Asus: Rt-ACxx<-- no Rt-AXxx<--yes Rt-ax88u Gt-ax11000 Rt-ax92u Rt-ax58u
Status_Bread7542Been running the ASUS AX6000 for like 2 years now and its been solid for my setup. Got jellyfin running on a mini pc plus some other services and never had any drops or weird connection issues The gl.inet stuff can be hit or miss - i had one of there older models that would randomly reboot under load which was annoying as hell. For around 200 you might also want to check out the netgear nighthawk ax12 if you can find it on sale. Way more reliable than budget wifi 7 options imo Also make sure your not getting interference from neighbors - sometimes the 6ghz bands on wifi 7 routers get wonky in dense areas
