    Upgrading RT-AC66U to either RT-AX68U or RT-AX86U, worth it?

    Ok, got it. I'm in IT and pfsense does a lot for me but mainly it is used for a site-to-site wireguard VPN tunnel between my parent's home (800/800 ISP sub) and mine. It's also there for easy policy-based routing for some of my docker containers. You know how it is when you have your own "home...

    Upgrading RT-AC66U to either RT-AX68U or RT-AX86U, worth it?

    I just thought of the idea. It's just one of those "because I can" moments, lol. And is why I posted here first because I know arguments from different people will help me in my decision. On another note, would getting a used AC68U or AC86U make sense? The only thing I don't like with my AC66U...

    Upgrading RT-AC66U to either RT-AX68U or RT-AX86U, worth it?

    If I were to upgrade, I would probably want an AX AP already.

    Upgrading RT-AC66U to either RT-AX68U or RT-AX86U, worth it?

    My ISP subscription is 200Mbps down/200Mbps up. I definitely won't spend $800/$1300 for an AP. I guess I'm looking for the best bang-for-the-buck AP That can replace my AC66U (if it even makes sense to do an upgrade). We're only two people in the condo and just maybe a max of 10 clients or so.

    Upgrading RT-AC66U to either RT-AX68U or RT-AX86U, worth it?

    I see. Yeah, saw those Ubiquiti wifi 6 AP's too. I'm wondering if they are on par with the AX86U's performance though. I use Ubiquiti AC-Lite AP's in another home and they do just fine. They're not the fastest though.

    Upgrading RT-AC66U to either RT-AX68U or RT-AX86U, worth it?

    The AC66U I have is the original non-B1 model so it's really one of the old ones. That's what I thought. I fell like I'dbe buying a router with features that I won't be even using. I another home, I use Ubiquiti access points and they've been great so far. Other than AC86U, do you have any...

    Upgrading RT-AC66U to either RT-AX68U or RT-AX86U, worth it?

    Got it. How is the AX86U looking? Does it have the final version of wifi 6? And does it really perform that well with wifi 6 clients?

    Upgrading RT-AC66U to either RT-AX68U or RT-AX86U, worth it?

    I see. Are we still long off from 6E? I'm guessing yes and there's the problem with even worse range with 6GHz.

    Upgrading RT-AC66U to either RT-AX68U or RT-AX86U, worth it?

    So I'm using my AC66U (w/ Merlin FW) as a mere access point in my 60sqm. condo. I have pfSense for all my network's routing functions. The AC66U has been running great for the most part but I fell that it'a a real old router that "might" need an upgrade. Is it worth it to upgrade to either an...

    AC66U rebooting randomly after connecting new Nvidia Shield TV Pro

    This started happening again. I was out of this house for a few months and I finally came back to be able to get back to this issue again. For the whole week last week, there was no reboot instance even when the Shield was connected. Today, it started rebooting again. I had to disconnect the...

    Which specific guides from your about link in your profile? That's a lot you have there.

    AC66U rebooting randomly after connecting new Nvidia Shield TV Pro

    I'm not seeing anything in your signature though? I only see these?

    AC66U rebooting randomly after connecting new Nvidia Shield TV Pro

    I already did that (erased nvram by wps button method, reset to factory defaults, etc.) when I switched from Merlin to the latest stock firmware. I would need to check your sig (using tapatalk at the moment) if there are other informations I missed. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    AC66U rebooting randomly after connecting new Nvidia Shield TV Pro

    Correct. I tried it again a few hours and made sure to disable "wifi roaming" and "auto band selection" in the Shield and the problem started happening again. Disconnecting it from the AP stopped the issue as expected. I do have that long-standing network issue when a wifi client joins but...

    AC66U rebooting randomly after connecting new Nvidia Shield TV Pro

    Thanks. I still highly doubt though that a client rebooting problem would affect the stability of this router. If it were, that would be very bad design. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    AC66U rebooting randomly after connecting new Nvidia Shield TV Pro

    I don't see the shield restarting, just the router. Can you link me to that discussion? Yeah, I have my shield updated to the latest FW too. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    AC66U rebooting randomly after connecting new Nvidia Shield TV Pro

    Any further help here? I don't understand why an android wifi client would reboot a router. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    AC66U rebooting randomly after connecting new Nvidia Shield TV Pro

    False alarm :( The same issue started happening again out of nowhere. Are there any other troubleshooting steps I can do here? Perhaps checking the logs by telnetting to the router?

    AC66U rebooting randomly after connecting new Nvidia Shield TV Pro

    So far so good after upgrading to the latest stock firmware. It might have even solved my long-standing issue of my whole network bugging out when a wifi client joins. I'm not sure why I haven't thought of upgrading. I thought staying with the latest Merlin fw is the best route since I have an...
