Why is Archer BE550 so much better than the Dream Router 7 here?

If you want really fast speed tests go with the BE550. If you want a fully featured networking device go with Unifi.

How do WiFi extenders work?

They do work but it is not quite plug it in and forget it like people expect. I tried a couple random extenders first and they technically connected but performance was messy with drops and slowdowns. I ended up using the TP Link BE550 Mesh system and it was a lot more predictable. You still need to

Megvalósítható ez a wifi mesh rendszer a lakásban?

Ne a Deco-t vedd, hanem easymesh kompatibilis cuccot. Nekem pl lent volt egy BE550, fent pedig egy be230, és LAN volt a bachhaul. tökéletesen működött a váltás észrevétlenül, és ha LAN-on megy a backhaul akkor sokkal jobb wifi sebességeid lesznek. easymesh egyébként wifi szabvány, szóval gyártófügge

Best router replacement for home networking use?

I wish this sub would stop recommending Unifi to everyone. If you don’t have networking experience you don’t want unifi. You’ll get better out of the box performance with something like a BE550. I manage a ubiquiti mesh at work and even I don’t use unifi at home. Just stick to something that’s plug

10Gb Router for Home?

You can get a Unifi Cloud Gateway Fiber which has 2 SFP 10Gb ports, 1 Rj45 10gbps port and 4 2.5 gbps ports. You can use the BE550 in AP mode. If you are near a microcentre they offer the UCG fiber for 20$ off rn and you can save on shipping.

Indicação de roteadores, o roteador atual tem bufferbloat

Antes de trocar, testa outra fonte no seu C5 atual, porque o chipset dele não é tão ruim, mas o VRM é simplório demais, se a fonte tiver ripple isso passa fácil pelo VRM ruim dele e vai pro chipset (E ripple sempre gera erro de processamento). Porque o chipset dele (QCA9558) também tá nuns Mikrotik

New router up and running

I've had this router for just over a week, and as you say, it is easy to set up ect. Done a fair bit of messing around with it, first off I tried it as a Mesh satellite wired into the YouFibre WiFi7 (Sagecom) router, all worked well Mesh wise. Now, the BE550 is the main router with another TP Link r

Which router should I buy? Or any better suggestions

Same, it’s listed as BE9300 (Archer BE550) on Amazon. It works great for me, zero issues in having it for a year. Plenty of options to customize and signal strength is great. I already had a WiFi 6 TP-Link router and I upgraded my main unit and kept the old one to use in the garage as a mesh WiFi no
