I tried many routers and the Google nest pro wifi 6e is the only one that worked.
It broadcasts multiple 2.4 ghz network on channel 1,6 and 13 simultaneously.
No other brand does it this way. I tried deco BE95, Asus Zen wifi and eero max 7. All of them broadcast a single 2.4 ghz band. If you have a lot of cameras like me that single channel get saturated quick.
Yeah. The nest pro wifi 6e won't give you the fastest speed download tests but it's been so reliable and great.
They are cheap too.
A shame because I loved how fast the Deco Be95s are on the 5/6 ghz bands.
Hi. I have a TP-Link BE95 (2 pack). I have smaller house (1,400 sq. ft). I know it is probably overkill for my house, but the range is exceptional going all the way through my backyard. I set up a 10gb network with a Qnap switch and NAS upgrading all (including wired backhaul)with fiber optic cables.
I have had no problem at all.
A little pricey, but I feel it is worth it.
TP link deco BE65 wifi 7 or ( BE85 or 95)
I had Orbi and replaced it with Deco.
My house is kind of big with concrete walls and I really recommend the Deco
I have a Deco BE95 and it’s incredible. Me being on top floor of house, router in basement with the modem and a satellite on the man floor, I pull 2gbps down and 2gbps up over Wifi (MLO).
Powerful CPUs and quad band make such a difference.
Imo, wifi 7 is current. Id jump for that for only 200 bucks more rather than buy it again later. But, thats how i roll. Short term you spend more money, long term you extend the life of your router reducing the need for a sooner upgrade. I can say, its really preference. I had a wifi 5, skipped 6 and jumped into 7. Tv no longer buffered youtube and streaming services. It acted like i had it preloaded and was running a file rather than connecting to the internet. So.... again, matter of preference. I cant say im disappointed at all. Ive got a deco 33000 2 piece mesh i got on amazon for a huge cash back on my amazon card. My son, my wife, my other son and myself were all playing xbox together. 2 game passes on pc and 2 xbox x's. No issues with the load on fiber cable with gigabit connection.
Consider the load youll be putting on it. Thats the biggest question, and the financial cost savings if its a reputable device.
