ASUS - RT-AX88U PRO

Buy an Asus AX88U Pro on Amazon used for $184. Even better than AX86U Pro.

2nd this. Have one running my home. Everything works all the time, plus 2.5gb ports for future speed upgrades.

No issues. I use some ax1800s for wired mesh points but the 88 is my main router still.

You're going to have a hard time finding multiple multi-gig output devices as many people do not have multiple multi-gig clients to utilize those speeds. 98% of home equipment is still gigabit or less on the Ethernet port. I'd recommend looking for a device with 1 multi-gig output LAN and then purchase a multi-gig switch with it. For example, I have the Asus AX-88u Pro with 1 2.5g WAN and 1 2.5g LAN. I have a 2.5g 5 port switch off the LAN to feed my access points.

I sold my asus 68 and went eero. Sold the eero and a month later went to a asus 88 rx pro. For me and my old house, the single asus had better range and perf than the mesh. So my single asus that hasn’t had a firmware release in like 6 months continues to chug along. Maybe we are getting to the point now where upgrading doesn’t get you much

Top options are the ASUS RT-AX88U Pro for strong performance, the Netgear Nighthawk RAX120 for reliability, and the Synology RT6600ax for good features. These offer solid coverage and handle multiple devices well without huge speed drops.

I've been using AiMesh since the beginning, and it was rocky at first, but now I'm currently quite happy with it. One solid main router and two APs outside. What unifi did you get to replace your setup and do you think it was worth the cost?

Asus RT-AX88U is the best router I’ve owned and I just keep linking them together in an air mesh for complete home coverage as we moved in different homes over the years.

hi, got the Asus AX6000,really great performance and not so expensive.

Asus AiMesh - Yea TP-Link Deco - Yes TP-Link Easy Mesh - Not sure

Your Asus should be setup as WDS bridge, since you are not WiFi signal out of reach on the other end of house, WDS bridge is to use the router's WiFi to get the signal from source and then allow the ethernet network behind to join as the same network. If you run in repeater mode you are generating another WiFi signal in short distance which might interfere original signal if channel setting not correct. By using WDS bridge, your Asus AX88U Pro can connect using all 4 antennae to form a much faster wireless backhaul without interfering others (it's operating as client) [https://www.asus.com/support/faq/109839/](https://www.asus.com/support/faq/109839/)
