How did you setup your WiFi?
The most important thing you can do is HARDWIRE CONNECTION TO CONSOLE FROM ROUTER. After that: get a dedicated router if possible, do not use the trash your cable company provides. QOS prioritizing. Make the Portal the highest priority and the PS5 directly below that. 5ghz if at all possible, dual b

Streaming U.S. content
Install the VPN directly on the router, most proper ones support that. I've got the Asus RT-AX88U, 6 years old and working like a charm. That way your phone and TV are on the same network for screen casting, but you can also just use apps directly on the TV or Apple TV, since everything connected to

Help choosing a router for upgraded internet
Couple of Asus router recommendations. There's the GT-AX6000 or RT-AX88U Pro, two different wifi 6 routers that have virtually the same electronics inside. If you want to stick your toe in the water with wifi 7, there's the RT-BE96U,, which has been on sale a lot. Both of these routers have given me

Should I buy the ASUS RT-BE88u an almost 2 year old router and join it with my RT-AX92U routers?
I have an ASUS RT-AX88U that we bought several years ago and it's been rock solid. Not even using third party firmware. Practically no issues whatsoever. All of these negative ASUS reviews? I have a theory. ASUS enables DFS channels and 160mhz wide channel on 5ghz by default. If you live near an air

Best Wifi mesh system for 2000+ sqft. multifloor home?
I use an ASUS RT-AX88U for my main WiFi with a couple ASUS APs to extend my WiFi through my 2500 square foot home, from basement to the second floor, and across the yard to a detached garage. The garage AP uses a WiFi backhaul and the other is connected via Ethernet. The router is in the basement, a

Best home wifi router?
Hey! With a $500 budget, you’ve got some awesome choices. For solid coverage (up to or beyond 5000 sq ft) and gigabit speeds, I’d go with a TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro mesh system Wi-Fi 6E, super reliable, and great range even into the garage.. If you prefer a single powerful router, the ASUS RT-AX88U or

How do I know when to replace my router?
I picked up a Asus RT-AX88U Pro from Amazon Renewed for $55 which I thought was a great deal by, and it's been rock solid stable since day 1. Most refurb routers are returned because folks have an issue configuring it . I have it meshed with 2 Asus Blue Cave routers and it switches over to the stron

can't get app connected to Aiden
I was finally able to solve this. I noticed that even though pairing in the app failed with the "Incorrect password" message, the wifi info shown on the device (SSID, IP address) showed a correct IP address for the router’s LAN subnet, indicating that at a minimum, DHCP negotiation had completed suc

What are you using for home router and infrastructure?
Currently using an Asus RT-AX88U Pro with the Merlin firmware. I do have a MikroTik router I'd like to move towards as my edge router with the Asus just providing wifi, but the Asus offers so many builtin services that it's tough to migrate over at the moment.
