EB810v BE19000 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 VoIP 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.

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.

I went with TP-Link Omada. I kind of wish I went with ubiquity. I haven’t checked the subreddit much for either, but I’m having some issues with a new AP, a wifi 7 device which isn’t playing well with my AC and AX APs. Edit I also had a consumer wifi mesh setup but with nearly 100 devices the archer BE19000 was having DHCP assignment issues.

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.

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.

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).
