Nighthawk AX1800 WiFi 6 Router (RAX9)

I have a nighthawk rs pending order on Amazon waiting to be shipped it has 2.5gbps wan and 2.5gbps lands and wifi 7 claims up to 9gigps over wifi course I won't get that cause only on gig plan but future proof lol

The night hawk RS180 I ordered finally shipped says delivery tomorrow it's wifi 7 with 6ghz up to 5.5gbps wifi and has 2.5gbps wan and 2.5gbps lan so I should get full 1gig

I bought Netgear Nighthawk 1800 2 years ago. Is cheap now. This a slightly newer one. https://www.walmart.com/ip/216889862?sid=97cf1804-ce2c-4568-95d4-4043017bd761 Those TP link models seem a good value too.

They both are likely good. I bought a Netgear Nighthawk ax 1800 with wifi 6 about 2 years ago. It has really fast download speed and very good range in the home. The speed is often faster than the speed that Spectrum says I should get. Both WiFi 6 and 7 have better security than older WiFi versions. 7 has similar security, but it supposedly offers better efficiency. I would lean to Netgear, but TP link has a good reputation too.

If you just google "wifi 6 or 7" routers you get some good options. I bought a Netgear Nighthawk 1800 with Wifi a year ago.

I liked the Netgear Nighthawk 1800..I picked up 2 years ago. Rs 90 is a new model.

I have the Netgear Nighthawk Ax1800 is good. It was about $120 2 years ago, but it now should be 75 or less.

Definitely 👍. I use a Netgear Nighthawk with WiFi 6.

it's BS. I have an old WR1201 I bought for nothing 8 years ago or so, it's serving \~20 IoT devices through it's N radio. the AC radio's idling, we use it for guest wifi when needed, both wifis are completely cut off from the up stream LAN (it's a router behind router kind of setup) you don't need anything new, older might actually be better in your case. [https://toh.openwrt.org/](https://toh.openwrt.org/) make sure you pick something with > 8MB flash and > 64MB RAM.

\> new device openwrt dont have it and it will help the learning of OP, not mentioning faster UI if I read is correctly, OP's doing ESP32 development, not OpenWRT. pretty sure they won't mind sluggish LuCI, since it's not their main focus. OpenWRT for IoT will most likely be fire and forget.

[https://www.ebay.com/itm/306862131512](https://www.ebay.com/itm/306862131512). plenty of RAM, in par with AX1800 thoughput over wifi on AC (not that it matters for your use case). if you find the same device cheaper elsewhere, make sure it's the quad antenna version you buy. I had these running as APs for years, rock stable, uptime > 1 year.

Netgear nighthawk for 6. Using tplink easy mesh for 7 and been happy so far

I currenttly have a Wifi6 Netgear Nighthawk. I just upgrade my ISP speed from Fiber 1GB to Fiber 2GB, and this router does not support a 2GB input (only 1), so I want to take advantage of the speed. Now, everyone here says Ubuquity this and that, but, I do not care about network management, or really customizing it or setting up a ton of different things. What I care about is speed, and coverage for my entire house. This current single router (that is positioned at the center-about of my house), covers the entirety of our 2000 sq foot house. Outside the house like on teh patio the signal starts to get dropped. I am using all 4 of its LAN ports, 2 for gaming computers, and 2 for gaming devices. We have multiple 4K tv's running off Wifi, we have at any given moment 2-4 people all gaming with no lag at all (one of them is on a 1600 mbps wifi 6 card that seems to work really well), we have many cell phones, ovens, fridges, whatever, there's like 100 devices connected to this thing through wifi I don't even know them all, split amongst all 3 of its bands. We have ZERO issues and its been a great router. I simply want to upgrade from 1GBS to 2GBS signal so we continue to have even less issues and download things faster and future proof ourselves as new devices come out. Does this Ubiquity (UDR7?) router fit the bill? I don't really want to buy any mesh or extension pieces or whatever, because it doesn't seem like I need them, if this single 3 year old Netgear router handles all this pretty well. Otherwise I'm looking at Asus ROG wifi7 routers, may be the new Nighthawk, though that doesn't seem the best anymore (?), but overall I've liked Netgear honestly, they've been my last 3 routers.

Yes the ISP gave me a year deal for the same price as 1GB, I get 2GB, but then realized my router doesn't actually support it. We do game a lot, all of us, and there is the occasional lag, though I'm not sure that's us. Honestly 1GB has been totally fine so far. Yeah I'm not going to be setting up VLANs or segment devices or any of that, I'm not really that involved with the network. Just want everyone and every device to be happy out the box 😄

Interesting, thanks. I'm trying to avoid spending a bunch of money which is why traditionally I just went with a single powerful router. Also it helps managing the network in general, though I try to avoid that as I know just the bare minimum of messing with routers.
