"I can basically always trust my X40 to finish a midnight cleaning session in the dark and wake up to find it sitting in its dock and have clean floors in the morning."
"I think its hands down the best all around option right now, especially once you hook it up to the water line and drain, i run it daily in our house and we got rid of our cleaning help because of it."
"significantly worse object avoidance than than the Dreame x40 and L40 ... The best feature of the L40/X40/p10 pro ultra is that they have class leading object avoidance so you don't have to pick up your cat's toys or prep your house every time you want to run the robot meaning you can run it on a daily schedule which will keep your house cleaner. ... I run my X40s daily and they never get stuck on cables, cat toys and other random junk that ends up on the floor."

"Netgear Orbi which I think is very easy to setup and use. ... Orbi is more beginner friendly and easier to setup up. ... With Orbi it’s just one thing to plug in and it just works. I am literally up and running in 10 minutes. ... I’ve done three Orbi installations in the past year and never had any problems."
"the air75 was super easy to hook up to the radio pocket and beta flight is such a breeze to navigate, I got everything connected and setup in about 30mins to an hour."

"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."

"but with it off i have amazing speeds."
"The eero’s give me WiFi speeds of at least 1600 Mbps everywhere"
"Agreed, the final hardware version is excellent in performance. I even get the same wireless speeds as with the Max 7 (1600-1900 Mbps up and down) which is quite impressive."

"I returned the spectrum wifi7 router because there was absolutely no way to get 2 of my smart outlets to connect to it."
"a bit soon after we started having another issue where videos and games started buffering/lagging a ton on the daily."
"I also just remembered I have a lot of cameras and bulbs that are exclusively 2.4Ghz. I'm having trouble getting them connected since there is no separation of networks. ... This upgrade may have been a mistake."

"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."

"Also when I ran latency tests I was loosing O.4 to 0.8ms over fiber with the tp-link, my old router from 10 years ago never added that much latency, just to give you an idea of how bad fans are."
"i have a ge800 from tp link and i use the ax21 from tp link as a router ethernet back hall and i get better ping and latency (not overall speed) but its still better than the ge800 where speeds next to that router are above i gig but ping is 20 while next to the ax21 its 11"
"i see no noticeable difference or latency improvement from wifi 6ghz and 5ghz."

r/HongKong • Having trouble picking WiFi routers ->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 ->i am using tp links ge 800.
r/TpLink • Good routers with 2.5gigabit ports? ->I have the tp link ge800 for $350 on sale Amazon, this guy is a beast. I came from asus btw. If you have any questions lemme know
r/HomeNetworking • New router recommendations. ->What speed is your fiber plan? I have a wifi 7 tp link that I’ve been using for over a year now. Solid router with no issues. The software to control isn’t amazing but if you don’t have a complicated setup- it would serve you just fine. Although I do suspect you can get a better price if you hunt around. Netgear is also a solid brand.
r/wifi • Is this a solid WiFi 6E router? ->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 ->Fuck tp link. I bought a wifi 7 one and shit sucks. Went back to my Asus. Glad to know it wasn't just my router
r/virtualreality • The Quest 3 experience ->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? ->Just upgraded to a TP-Link WiFi 7 mesh G800 and B800 with great black friday prices. Get 940 Mbps 30 feet away upstairs. Controllable via their tether app.
r/HomeNetworking • Looking to upgrade to a wifi 7 router! Recommendations ->Just got the GE800 and BE800 to install as a mesh system with the black friday sales. Getting 940 Mbps upstairs 30 feet away from the GE800 wired to BE800.
r/TpLink • Can anyone recommend a good tri band router with good WiFi range? ->There are excellent black friday prices for the TP-Link GE800 and BE800 right now if you want to setup a mesh network. The GE800 is a gaming router. I get 940 Mbps, my network limit, from the BE800 extender 30 feet away and upstairs. Don't game so haven't tested those feature.
r/HomeNetworking • Router recommendations ->I have mine in passthru with a TP-Link Archer WiFi-7 router. No issues.
r/ATT • Is an extra router (Google Nest for example) a good idea to extend BGW320 coverage? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
