"I highly recommend the TP-LINK BE3600 WiFi 7 router. It is sub $100 and it totally kicks ass."
"If you’d rather have 6 GHz (great for newer phones/laptops) and don’t need 10 GbE, consider the TP-Link Archer BE550, which is frequently around $199 and tested well for budget Wi-Fi 7. ... TP-Link BE550: True tri-band with 6 GHz around $199–$229 and strong test results—great budget “next-gen” pick."
"Extra discounts on amazon so I got it to $80 and thought the price for the system was unbeatable."

"With a 2.5G connection I am seeing download speeds in a 700sq ft apartment of 500mbps at worst and about 1100mbps as best."
"Upgraded to An Asus Mesh (Zenwifi BQ16) with wireless backhaul and the gaming consoles in my house are receiving the full 1gb bandwidth connected directly to the node with no issues having all on and playing online."
"Great wifi coverage in all rooms incl 5ghz"

"It’s been trouble-free since I scheduled the early morning reboots."
"I also found that the BE19k has restart and firmware scheduling built-in, so it does those jobs in the wee hours of the morning so it’s fresh as a daisy and ready for work when I get up."
"Using tplink easy mesh for 7 and been happy so far"

"Random disconnects still happen quite frequently"
"Constant random disconnections from the ps link dongle. ... I'll be sitting literally 3 feet away from it and it'll drop 5 times in a few hours. ... And the only way to fix it is to unplug the reinsert the dongle. ... Other days it won't disconnect once all day."
"Complete drop out - even 5 foot away - turning my head would result in the ear furthest away dropping out for a couple of seconds - even with a usb extender to move the dongle from the back of the console to the front. ... range on them was horrid - it would lose connection just by turning my head - console was about 7 foot away - and even if I used an usb extender to move the transmitter to the front of the console - it would still sometimes cut out."

"it just wasn't strong enough ... mainly my basement and top floors had issues"
"The 15k just wasn’t providing thorough WiFi coverage."

"Stay far away from routers with fans, I returned a tp-link wifi 7 router over this exact issue. ... Sfp port was so hot it was unreal. ... Try to cool your place in summer with air conditioning, you don't want some fan blowing heat. ... Also moving parts is a bad idea for longevity."

"I tested the TP-Link BE800 and the Asus RT-BE96U side by side for a few weeks, and they both had insane raw speed but random disconnects that made me want to pull my hair out."
"The TP Link (BE19000) was great until it just died, couldn't hold a signal after 2 months."
"HomeKit the worst. Updating. Devices constantly disappearing and reappearing."

"I have been experimenting with the xpon sfp modules, but never got them to work (they always get stuck behind ONU status 02 - I tried cloning all the credentials/mac address /serial etc etc). ... I talked to their tech and apparently, they don't like end-users using these modules as they don't follow the ISP spec and could cause issues on their end."
"You can are correct, one wan other lan. ... The 4x2.5gb lans cannot be used for wan though. ... Only the 10Gb SFP+/RJ45 is a combo, so you cannot use SFP and that 10gb port at the same time. ... The other 10gb port is only lan and cannot be used for wan. ... You will need to use the one 10gb out to a switch for multi or can use the single 10gb to device."
I returned the spectrum wifi7 router because there was absolutely no way to get 2 of my smart outlets to connect to it. I ended up getting the tplink archer be800 and it is amazing so far.
r/Spectrum • Should I get the Spectrum Wifi 7 router? ->I just got a TP Link be19000, seems to match what you want. 2x10gb (one or both can be LAN if you have spf), 4x2.5gb, meshable, wifi 7.
r/HomeNetworking • WiFi router with 10Gbit/s LAN ports to connect to NAS ->People are disappointed with wifi 7 are disappointed because TP link rushed out devices that were not ready for market, and have a high hardware failure rate. All the other manufacturers rushed to compete, and reliability and features are lacking. I tried a wifi router from TP Link, Netgear, and Asus. They were all garbage in one way another. The TP Link (BE19000) was great until it just died, couldn't hold a signal after 2 months. The Netgear(RS600 and rest of RS line) forces you into a paid DNS service if you want to run a VPN on it, the Asus RT-BE92U has a horrendous UI and firmware that crashed it daily as well as micro connection drops regularly.

r/HomeNetworking • Wifi 7 Routers - reviewed & compared ->Netgear nighthawk for 6. Using tplink easy mesh for 7 and been happy so far
r/HomeKit • What Wi-fi 6 Router for home is the best value you've used? ->It's a little late, but AIS has a [BYOD](https://www.ais.th/consumers/fibre/package/byod) package. This package only provides the optical media converter for the fibre line, so you can use whatever router you want. There are routers out there with SFP port that will work with XPON modules (I'm using TP-Link Archer BE800, it comes with 1 SFP+ port for WAN) I have been experimenting with the xpon sfp modules, but never got them to work (they always get stuck behind ONU status 02 - I tried cloning all the credentials/mac address /serial etc etc). I talked to their tech and apparently, they don't like end-users using these modules as they don't follow the ISP spec and could cause issues on their end. So imo, going with the BYOD package is probably the least headache you'll have, considering the existing Asus router that you have.
r/Thailand • Has anyone replaced their crappy AIS fibre router with a quality aftermarket device? ->Tp-links newest WiFi 7 router is sick for the price.
r/MoonlightStreaming • Does my Router matter when it comes to streaming Moonlight WITHIN my home? ->I ended up switching the BE15000 out for the BE19000 (on sale from Costco for less than the BE15000). The 15k just wasn’t providing thorough WiFi coverage. I also found that the BE19k has restart and firmware scheduling built-in, so it does those jobs in the wee hours of the morning so it’s fresh as a daisy and ready for work when I get up. I also added a “AX5400 WiFi 6 Range Extender” in our detached garage so we now get a full 3-bars of coverage everywhere. It’s been trouble-free since I scheduled the early morning reboots.
r/HomeKit • Is anyone using the TP-Link Tri-Band BE15000 WiFi 7 Router Archer BE700 for your smart home? ->I'm a wire tech at ATT, and I don't use our extenders.. Running a tplink Archer be800 and 3 tplink be10000 extenders, two of which are hardwired..
r/ATTFiber • If the new AT&T WIFI extenders (installed 3 of them) absolutely wrecked my home WIFI performance (BGW320-505 gateway), is there any reason to believe a different 3rd party mesh system like Eero's would lead to better results? ->Honestly, TP-Link seems to have the best value WiFi7 certified on the market. This ASUS router isn't even certified. I purchased mine for $170 on sale, only drawback is no 10G ports; they're all 2.5G (which isn't an issue for like 95% of consumers).
r/pcmasterrace • Gaming routers have to be the biggest waste of money I feel ->I just picked up the Asus gt 98 pro it's an excellent router . It resolved my dead zones entirely . Ya it's over kill and expensive but it helped me I had a be1900 tp link and it just wasn't strong enough required weekly reboots with drops . With the quad band there are no drops and it's much better than the tri band . I mean mainly my basement and top floors had issues and the Asus can penetrate the walls better in my experience.
r/wifi • i want to get a wifi 7 router which one of these should i pick? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
