RT-BE82U

Ok, solved the problem! Put Q1000K in transparent mode. Got white light. Set Asus router to Automatic IP, did NOT set VLAN 201 but did change DHCP action to Continous. Initially got the DHCP error but had to leave and left system in that state for a couple of hours. When I returned it was connected!

Wow if I'm honest AUD$1300 for a home router setup is insane. Even TP Link's own BE9700 would be more than adequate for under $400, and Ubiquiti or Asus offer equiv/superior options for the same money. I won't suggest any specific models as I don't know which manufacturers meet your Customer Support

If you want to stay with ASUS, some good upgrade options to WiFi 6 include ASUS RT-AX86U Pro (if available in your region, otherwise just AX86U), or ASUS RT-AX58U (RT-AX3000) for a lower cost option. For WiFi 7: If you don't need the 6ghz band of WiFi 7 then ASUS RT-BE58U is a good entry level route

It might not be the router itself. The PlayStation 5 speed test can be pretty inconsistent and often depends on Sony’s servers. Even with a fast router like the ASUS RT-BE82U, results can vary a lot. You could try testing the same Ethernet cable and port with a PC to see if you can hit closer to 900

I had a Netgear Nighthawk XR500 I needed to upgrade so I bought a Nighthawk RS300 . Had issues with wifi randomly disconnecting . Returned it and wound up buying an Asus RT-BE82U instead . Much better for what I needed

As I understand it from others on here, Windstream fiber doesn’t use a modem, just an ONT that connects to a router. That router can be theirs or yours. If you want to use your own, these should handle a 2gb connection: GL.iNet Flint 3 (GL-BE9300) TP-Link Archer BE9300 ASUS RT-BE82U The main things

They are very similar: https://www.asus.com/my/product-compare?ProductID=26424,30794&LevelId=Networking-IoT-Servers-WiFi-7 Main differences: RT-BE82U has five 2.5gb ports and a 4x4 antenna for 5ghz (instead of 2x2 on RT-BE58U). They are both dual-band WiFi 7 routers (2.4ghz & 5ghz bands) with the sa

Between the ASUS TUF AX6000 and the ASUS RT-BE82U, I'd choose the RT-BE82U as the router for these reasons: Even though it only has 2x2 for 2.4ghz, it has 4x4 for 5ghz, which is more important [higher speed band]; it is WiFi 7 (dual band but still, newer tech); all its WAN/LAN ports are 2.5gigabit;

TLDR: I'd suggest the RT-BE82U for dual-band WiFi 7 (2.4ghz/5ghz) as it has 2.5gb WAN/LAN ports. I'd suggest the TUF-BE9400 for tri-band WiFi 7 (also has 2.5gb WAN/LAN ports) and also has 6ghz band if that is important. Details: Good options listed above (ASUS BE3600 or TP-Link BE6500) but I don't l

(Part 1/2) How large is the residence that needs WiFi coverage? On how many floors (looks like just two)? Are you interested in WiFi 6E or WiFi 7? What's your budget? I'll assume a maximum of $300 USD. I'll focus on WiFi 7 below, but if you specify additional requirements I could share additional re
