    AX6000 1 to 2 meters proximity ping from clients

    Regarding WMM No-Acknowledgement my opinion is very negative. Although i have 0 interference in my house it introduced problems when i enabled it so my suggestion is to keep it disabled.

    AX6000 1 to 2 meters proximity ping from clients

    I am on latest Merlin. I had issues with the factory firmware the router had when purchased, any other firmware i tried was fine. Sorry if it was allready mentioned but is Enable WMM No-Acknowledgement disabled on your router?

    AX6000 1 to 2 meters proximity ping from clients

    My latency with Intel AX200 (both PC) is always 1-2ms with most of my routers including 3 Asus ones. Screenshot is from pinging AX88U on next room (5Ghz 80Mhz connection but same results with 160Mhz), distance is 7-8 meters and no direct line of sight for two devices. Eset firewall enabled on...

    Is the RT-AX88U Pro overkill with PFSense?

    You are right about the OP not needing any Asus features since he already has a router. If EAP610 fits his needs it was surely the smart choice. Buying an Asus router that cost the double could interest some people who need faster speeds at distant rooms and security updates. In Europe 4X4...

    Is the RT-AX88U Pro overkill with PFSense?

    I think all my routers and APs have the same power limit that depends on frequency range because of EU laws (thats why some people here buy routers with chinese firmware so they have more power). That doesn't mean they have the same range when keeping max speed. I personally use the extra...

    Is the RT-AX88U Pro overkill with PFSense?

    Everything you say apply to my workplace too but in my opinion it is different in houses, both the requirements and the budget. Often in houses there are hard to reach rooms and outdoor places that is extremely costly to run cables to. Also there are very limited places to place APs/routers so...

    Is the RT-AX88U Pro overkill with PFSense?

    I just searched online and the tplinks where indeed old, some of them where released at 2017. Although i have recently bought many tplink routers for my rental apartments i have never bought an expensive one to make an equal comparison. Compared to my Chateau AX and Fritz AX, Asus has better...

    Is the RT-AX88U Pro overkill with PFSense?

    I replaced my 5 year old AC tplink APs that i was managing with Omada Controller with Asus routers (AX88U / 2 AX86S) with AI Mesh enabled. Asus routers have uncomparable range and speed and really have seamless roaming, in my experience its not just a marketing term. I can run from the top...

    [Thread-1] [ 386.1_Alpha Build(s) ] Testing available build(s)

    Alpha builds are working better for me than the previous stable ones. I have less bufferbloat now using traditional QoS + fq_codel although i am not sure that's because of the new firmware and not my ISP. Also some problems i had with DNS over TLS seem to be solved, not 100% sure yet because it...

    Need advice for AP or wifi Router

    Thank you for the info but i don't really think i will need an extender and i also think those offers are only in US (70 euro delivery cost + customs fees for Greece).

    Need advice for AP or wifi Router

    I changed my AC-86U order to AX88U, i had to pay only 45 euro more due to bf offers and coupons. If i am not satisfied i can always return it.

    Need advice for AP or wifi Router

    RT-AC86U cost 190 euro in my country (Greece), R7800 170 euro, R8000 18o euro, i think the prices are not the normal ones, is the AC86U worth the extra euro;

    Need advice for AP or wifi Router

    Thank you i will consider getting a RT-AC86U. I had ethernet wire installed on most rooms of my house except the one i am forced to have my pc now. When i told my wife that i will put another cable and repaint she refused because she doesn't want the baby to smell the paint, it is also winter...

    Need advice for AP or wifi Router

    I can't use powerline adaptors because of many reasons that have to do with my needs. I am comfortable with any cost (even 400) just don't like spending money where it is not needed.

    Need advice for AP or wifi Router

    Thank you for your answer, my question really is what is the cheaper router/AP i can buy that: a. has higher signal strength than my EAP225v3 and similar to my motherboard AX200 wifi. b. allows 2 devices (with good wifi adapters and fast ssd) to copy large files between them with speeds greater...

    Need advice for AP or wifi Router

When i upload a file to another PC on the local lan the transfer rate is around 70Mbytes/s which is...

    Choosing Wifi Network Solution for multi level house

    I finaly completed my home wifi using two AP's on every floor. To do so i had to run CAT6a (MoCA cable is not used at all in my country) inside the concrete ceiling, the cost of cables and repainting the ceilings was high but it seems that it was the only reliable solution. I used EAP225v3 and i...

    Choosing Wifi Network Solution for multi level house

    Thank you for your answer, probably saved me a lot of frustration. Since wiring is the only solution for high usage i will read about MOCA and choose the best wire for my case. I have both 2.4 and 5ghz clients so i will make sure the AP's i buy are able to reduce the 2.4 power for less overlapping.
