    What's the verdict on the RT-AX88U vs RT-AX86U vs GT-AXE11000 if I'm buying today

    I think it's going to depend a lot on your physical landscape. In my old brick house with lots of plaster & lath walls breaking up the space, the neighbors' 5hz signals are attenuated enough that it doesn't cause a lot of problems. But the poorer signal penetration of 6ghz through all these...

    Please recommend AI Mesh node model

    Does this also happen when the AC86 is connected as a hardwired AP? If not, beyond slightly simpler set-up and management, what does Mesh mode provide that you can't get from a conventional router/AP arrangement?

    Mixing AX with AC routers

    I don't have a problem with roaming, it just seems to have an aversion to the AC68 now that the AX routers are there. I have to get the phone to a spot where the signal from both the AX routers is below - 75dbm for it to switch to the AC. Even if I turn the WiFi off on the phone, the turn it...

    Mixing AX with AC routers

    I have an RT-AC68 and I have recently added both an RT-AX68U and an RT-AX86U to the mix. I'm not using Mesh, the AX86U is the primary router, and the others regular access points. The only unusual issue is my phone is reluctant to roam to the AC router, even when the signal is significantly...

    GT-AXE11000 hits the FCC

    I believe you are who I replied to at XDA, but my S21U has no problem nearly maxing out my internet connection via WiFi 6 connected to my RT-AX86. I just checked, I do get slightly better speedtest results on my hardwired laptop (about 480Mbps), but I also have the RT-AX86 set to only 40Mhz.

    News RT-AX68U

    I bought mine through Amazon and didn't review it. :eek: But as I said before, I'm a fairly basic user, so I'm not a good source. I can say I had no problem getting it set up, and performance has improved over the router it replaced, but I also slightly moved it, so not completely apples to...

    WiFi 6 indicator behavior on phone

    I haven't set these up for WPA3. I've read other posts (but haven't confirmed myself) that WPA3 can induce some delays when roaming from one AP to another. Improving roaming has been one of the driving factors behind the changes I've been making lately. We're both working from home these...

    News RT-AX68U

    It's just because, for some reason, they've put them on the same product page (along with a couple of other models). If you go to the "all reviews" page, you can filter them for just the AX2700 reviews (of which there appear to be none). I hate when they combine different products on one page.

    WiFi 6 indicator behavior on phone

    An interesting side note... I just got a new phone, and in the initial step of choosing a network to connect to, it showed the little "6" next to the HardeeNET entry. I was in the same room as I was when I took the screenshot above. It SHOULD have chosen the AC router on ch 161, as that is in...

    News Samsung Announces Wi-Fi 6E 5G phone

    FWIW, the S21U also has a 1440p display, but it does lack the headphone jack. More importantly they've also ditched the SD card this time around. But I'm still going for it. Samsung is giving me $700 trade-in on my S20U, and along with other goodies it'll equate to about $400 or less to...

    Which devices should I put on 2.4 GHz?

    I have multiple routers in my house, they all share a common SSID & password for the 5ghz band for the most seamless roaming, and they all have different SSIDs for 2.4ghz. All IoT devices are connected to the closest 2.4, since they don't move, all phones, laptops, etc. connect to 5ghz. The only...

    WiFi 6 indicator behavior on phone

    I just recently got my first WiFi 6 router (RT-AX68 used as an access point). Since then, I've noticed a little 6 next to the WiFi symbol on my phone (Samsung S20U). Strangely though, it seems to be there even when I at least think I'm connected to one of my older AC routers. All of my access...

    News RT-AX68U

    Yes, set it up yesterday. It's just being used as an access point in my kitchen, but initial impressions are that it performs better than the Archer A7 it replaced. It's located low in a cabinet in a cabinet, which isn't ideal. But I did tweak the location slightly, so it may have have a slight...

    News RT-AX68U

    I probably won't be very useful, I'm a pretty vanilla user. It's only going to be used as an AP. I don't have a large house, but it's old with very thick walls, which hurts 5ghz. I have 3 separate routers: An RT-AC68 as my main router, a TP Link Archer A7 as an AP, and an old Netgear...

    FYI, looks like these are getting close to shipping. I ordered one from Amazon when they became available, and just got an updated estimated delivery of this weekend.

    News RT-AX68U

    I ordered an AX86U from ShopBLT on 12/29. At the time they had, I believe, 9 units coming in, due on 1/5, with 6 or 7 of them spoken for. A few days ago their incoming increased to 12, with a date pushed out to the 17th. Now it shows an ETA of 3 weeks. I'm HOPING that they are getting multiple...

    Someone has their hands on one of these (outside the US). Hopefully that suggests a release soon. https://www.redeszone.net/marcas/asus/asus-rt-ax68u-router-wi-fi-6-ax2700-unboxing/
