    Have you tried iPerf or some similar benchmark?

    ANNOUNCEMENT: Asuswrt-Merlin support underway for 3 Wifi 7 routers

    Right, well, I'm old enough to remember acoustic modems so... 🤷‍♂️

    Bought the Asus AX5700 Dual-band RT-AX86U Pro router.. Should I pay $50 more for the Asus AX6000 or AXE7800?

    Do you have any 802.11ax devices to start with? The "extra port" as you put it, is to get 2.5 Gbps speeds both from your internet connection and onwards to you devices, if you have a 2.5 Gbps switch and a wired network. Some of do, many don't. How fast fibre will be on offer and how fast will...

    ANNOUNCEMENT: Asuswrt-Merlin support underway for 3 Wifi 7 routers

    Same here, much cheaper than any other similar router for some reason.

    Chillax, this is only the first announcement. He didn't say these were the only devices that will be supported.

    AC86U keeps losing USB drives

    Most likely they're drawing too much power. Use a powered USB hub or get a powered housing/drive.

    MLO: What exactly is Smart Connect's role?

    This might help https://source.android.com/docs/core/connect/wifi-7#mlo-features https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1053342/ Also, a quick search on the galactic interweb suggests that there are some issues with your phone and MLO with other makes of routers. Some can't even connect to the 6 GHz...

    Internal antenna router

    Yes, but it's not as bad as concrete with rebar in it or walls with chicken wire in them. The denser the material, the harder it is for the WiFi signal to penetrate it, but a lot of metal makes it even worse. I used to live in a similar sized, three storey concrete and steel house and I had to...

    New wireless router - not too expensive

    Funny guy... In the UK, the GT-AX6000 is cheaper than the RT-AX68U Pro...

    New wireless router - not too expensive

    Looks like the GT-AX6000 is your best option price wise at a penny under 200 quid. The TUF Gaming AX6000 is around 160 quid and the TUF Gaming AX4200 comes in at 126 quid. The ISP provided hardware is far from cutting edge and it's apparently the same hardware as in the BT Smart Hub 2, which...

    New wireless router - not too expensive

    That's still using the quickly aging Cortex-A7 CPU cores though.

    New wireless router - not too expensive

    As pointed out above, the RT-AX86U Pro might be your best bet, even though the price isn't super low. That said, the GT-AX6000 and the RT-AX88U Pro are sometimes the same price or cheaper, which makes it worth keeping an eye out on those two models as well. What router did your ISP provide...

    ASUS Unveils RT-BE88U WiFi 7 Dual-Band Router

    They're perfectly fine for backups and media storage, no doubt about it. I just don't want them in my PC, but in a NAS they're fine.
