Product Information

Would functionalities like VPN, QoS enabled on the router or on the node ? My point is : for performance, it would be nice to have QoS all over the network, but the VPN from the router only. Could also be interesting to have a VPN on one node, and not on the other for instance.

Which mesh system or routers (to make my own mesh) do you recommend which will also be somewhat futureproof? I don’t think any of my WiFi clients will have WiFi 6 or 6E anytime soon unless the iPhone 13 has it or the PS5 which I intend to get. Reading your advices on comments, I was planning to get a RT-AX86U as a router, and Zenwifi XD4 as nodes. Also, all the house is wired. I’m leaning hard towards Option C – seems I’ll be able to plug the laptop in and also improve WiFi access to that part of my house. I know there are other AiMesh routers too, but they seem as expensive as option B.Taking a different approach to my original question, would a wired / cabled “mesh” of 3 identical dual-band routers as you suggest be preferable to a strong output tri-band router and 2 cheaper satellites / slaves , each of which is cabled directly to the master router ? (as per my original choice) ac data refers to: 40MHz / 256QAM on 2.4GHz band and 80MHz / 256QAM on 5GHz band. ax data refers to: 40MHz / 1024QAM on 2.4GHz band and 160MHz / 1024QAM on 5GHz band

I‘d like to locate most of my network equipment in the basement, and the wiring closet down there is the absolute worst place for a wifi antenna. I’m curious to know what you’d recommend i do to improve consistent speed and performance with my gig internet. We are pretty bad making decisions like these and we don’t wanna experiment too much. We would really love your input. Thank you in advance. Reply Based on this information, if you were recommending a single router and alternatively a mesh setup, what would your two recommendations be? I really like the setup process for ASUS routers. You have a choice: either to configure using the ASUS Router mobile app or to use the web interface from a PC or laptop. Both methods are quite straightforward and do not require any special knowledge or skills.Wi-Fi síť může pracovat na několika standardech IEEE. Číslo 802.11 specifikuje bezdrátovou síť obecně. Dále se dělí na různé verze nejpoužívanější standarty v současnosti jsou 802.11n využívající frekvenci 2,4 GHz a 802.11ac běžící na 5 GHz.

I have immediate need for a mesh network per se however if I can operate the main Netgear router as the primary/standalone device because it delivers greater performance vs line of sight of the Asus… I would be prepared to pay more for the best hardware I can afford to deliver 1) the best performance at the distance I am sat at for working from home 2) Futureproofed for at least 3 years before having to consider upgrading again. There’s a sale on network things on one store here now and I’m really looking for a replacement for D-link.

Asus RT-AX88U Pro's Rating

As the standard is on the way out — Wi-Fi 6E has been available for a few years, and Wi-Fi 7 is on the horizon — those mentioned here are highly likely the final bests of their category. Any opinions/recommendations appreciated. Maybe Dong could do an article on wired / wifi systems where the router and the antennas are in physically different devices? Reply Any comments/opinions on a wired router system, where the wifi antennas are quite physically separate from router (gateway)? I have a reasonably large house (over 3k sq/ft) and have the router in the center of the house underneath a wood floor. It’s actually done a fine job of reaching outdoor Nest cameras, doorbels, etc. I haven’t had any issues until it started to fail.
