Advice on router

i7core

New Around Here
Hi all,

I purchased the ASUS RT-BE58U recently and I am not sure that was the smartest move. I have about 10 days left to return it if I want.

What I didn’t like about it is the range. Compared to my 10 year old router, this gets worse range (positioned exactly on the same spot. Also tried the same channels and so on, no difference). Occasionally the signal drops as well as the speed. This is only on the wireless devices.

What I liked about it is the ASUS interface and the VPN fusion (easy to put in my NordVPN token and choose devices that will connect to the VPN).

I live on a two story house and have,

Wired devices:
2x PCs
1x STB

Wireless devices:
1x laptop
1x tablet
3x TVs
4 phones
1x PC

I would like a router with better coverage and the ability to use VPN fusion (or similar). Preferably fairly new and will receive updates also.

Any advice?

Thanks.
 
You might try an RT-AX86U Pro or an RT-AX88U Pro.
 
For your use case and ISP up to Gigabit - RT-AX86U Pro.
