    Which 2024-25 Non-Mesh Wi-Fi Routers Have 1 Watt Transmitters & Most Sensitive Receivers?

    I have found it impossible to determine which non-mesh wi-fi routers deliver the greatest distance in a typical home environment. The transmitting power and receiving sensitivity inherent to specific chip sets is probably known by those who are experts in the chips but the antenna design will...

    Hello all, I'm looking for suggestions on configurations to maximize range on my RBK50. I have the usual setup (1 RBR50 and 2 wired RBS50) with the voxel firware (V9.2.5.2.25SF-HW).

    RT-AC68U poor 5GHz range

    Hey guys, I've recently got an RT-AC68U and although I love all the features of it (QoS, VPN, Wake On LAN etc), I've been a bit disappointed in the 5GHz wireless performance, as my iPhone is regularly dropping wifi signal in places where my previous NETGEAR R6250 worked fine. The only place the...
