    Amplifi Alien

    Just ordered the Alien to replace my Linksys EA9300. I was torn between this and the Asus Ax11000, but finally decided to opt for stability over speed. Hoping it has the range of my old router, guess we’ll find out.

    Mesh system or single Wifi Router

    I appreciate every ones opinions and responses. Trouble here is its a router for an older demographic especially when we are talking about managing it. Yes I'll be stopping by, but it needs to be something they can easily manage without having to be a network expert. Though they don't...

    Mesh system or single Wifi Router

    Thanks, I was looking at the AC88U as a possibility. Maybe I'll go that way to start and see who that works. Definitely the cheaper option.

    Mesh system or single Wifi Router

    My parents have been complaining about Wifi access through their 2400 sq foot house. Its a brick ranch with thick walls. They used to have a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH router located in the center of their house and even though it did do a great job it did enough. When it died I gave them an old...

    R8000p vs RT-AC3200 vs D-Link DIR-3060 VS WRT3200ACM

    I own this router now and have for several years. Its been mostly reliable, though my 2nd 5ghz band does not work unless I turn off all security on that band (not an option), and from time to time it slows down requiring a reboot. Though I'm guessing my 5ghz band issue could be resolved with a...

    Help Determining New Router

    Thanks all for the responses. Wired for my Xbox and PS4 is not an option unless I hire and electrician as there is no easy way to run the cables. Wireless has been fine especially if I can run at AC speeds, but right now I'm forced to run in Mixed Mode (hence the thought of replacing my...

    Linksys EA9300 5GHz-2 Rejects connection

    As some may have seen in a previous post I have been looking or a new router because my EA9300 is rejecting connections on the 5GHz-2 band which I have set up for AC only. Unfortunately I really haven't found a router that really jumps out at me as being better than my current router, most seem...

    Help Determining New Router

    Thanks Trip. Wired would be best of course but not really available for me unless I wanted to pay someone to run cables through the walls (no easy run). I did also consider a new AC router and will look at the X4s, do you know anything about the Asus GT-AC5300? It's my understanding that for...

    Help Determining New Router

    Well since I just noticed that the RAX120 is only Dual Band, I think I'm dropping it from my list. I have a lot of older 802.11N equipment that I want to keep on its own channel so as not to slow down the 802.11AC equipment. So I need 2 5GHz bands, unless I have this wrong in my head?

    Help Determining New Router

    Hi All, First time posting, and I need some advise. Currently I have a Linksys EA9300 tri-band router. It hasn't been a bad router but it has its quirks, not the least of which is the 2nd 5 GHz band will not allow devices to connect. If I do a factory reset it will work for a short time (hours...
