The ASUS RT-BE82U and the ASUS RT-AX86U Pro were suggested as replacements but those aren’t available anywhere near me. after that the ASUS RT-AX88U was suggested but that also isn’t available.
I realize this is a mint linux group but i’m hoping someone here as a good idea of a replacement router. I’d prefer ASUS but it needs aimesh technology because I have 2 routers in my house. this would be replacing one of them.
I need something that is at least decent for gaming and streaming of video and audio. I don’t want the cheapest thing on the rack. I think the rtax82u was like $130 maybe $140 when I bought it. any suggestions?
mods if this question isn’t allowed just let me know where I should post it and i will post there and delete it here. (if you delete the post then it’s hard for me to copy and paste it over at the place that you want me to be at) thank you
edit : need to also ask about the ASUS TUF Gaming BE3600 is this a solid router? it’s one other router that was suggested
I had issues with my 2 ASUS RT-AX53U routers. Devices dripping off the network and randomly slow internet. Replacing the firmware with OpenWRT fixed all of the issues, and I’m still using them.
OpenWRT (on these routers) does support mesh networks. I only have experience with these, so I can’t make any informed recommendations.
thank you for your thoughts on subject.
As much as it’s reasonably possible, you should hard wire everything. Cat5e is pretty cheap for a spool and crimping is its own little project.
Yup have a hard wire that runs from the computer room to the main room (router to router) . Pc is hard wired to router. But the phones and iPads and the laptop isn’t really possible.
