Best Wi-Fi 6 Routers: The Asus TUF-AX5400 directly rivals the GS-AX5400 below. It's an easy recommendation for gamers. Reading your advices on comments, I was planning to get a RT-AX86U as a router, and Zenwifi XD4 as nodes. Also, all the house is wired.

So telling you the layout of my house is pointless/ a fool’s errand, I understand. So, I was wondering if you know what kind of coverage the Netgear Ac1450 is supposed to have using today’s numbers, so I can buy the next tier up. The only documentation I can find just says extreme range. I have no idea what that means. Is it supposed to cover 2500 sq ft, 3500? I don’t know. All I know is that it has six internal antennas and their marketing materials say the range bar is completely filled. We have gigabit internet and I’d like to take advantage of it and get better speeds if possible. I’m not as concerned with budget as I am with performance and a degree of future proofing. Flexible port configuration: Both support Dual-WAN, Link Aggregation (WAN and LAN), and a Game Port. My wife and I just moved from a one-level condo to a 2-story (plus basement) house, and now we’re regularly dropping network which is pretty rough for the whole “working from home” thing, especially since she’s frequently on video calls and can’t really afford to be reconnecting every 30 minutes. Sometimes both of our work laptops will be booted simultaneously, but it frequently happens to just one of us, and we haven’t noticed any issues with our mobile devices dropping. Trying to figure out whether this is a “replace the router” situation or if other troubleshooting is needed first.In case you didn't read the intro: This is the latest member on this list -- the number is only numerical, not the ranking. Best Wi-Fi 6 Routers: The Synology WRX560 comes in an exciting design. It's an excellent Wi-Fi 6 router... of yesteryear. I am looking to upgrade my ISP service, and have Verizon FIOS fiber to the house. However, the ONT is outside the house, and (because I also get cable TV from them), Verizon uses the cable interface out of the ONT. Which Verizon then cross connects (still on the outside the house) to the Cox cable coax that was there previously. So, no outdoor ethernet cable in place. Thoughts? This feature takes the channel bandwidth and it divides it in small orthogonal resource units that are then allocated to serve the simultaneous communication with connected access points. This way, the smaller frames are handled far more efficiently, while the larger ones can remain unaffected (since the resource units can vary in size).

The TP-Link AX1500 doesn't have much to brag about. It's on this list because of its affordability. Keep that in mind -- it's best not to expect the world from it. Thank you and apologies if you have this covered and I was unable to unearth it. If you can share the link I will gladly do my own homework. Would functionalities like VPN, QoS enabled on the router or on the node ? My point is : for performance, it would be nice to have QoS all over the network, but the VPN from the router only. Could also be interesting to have a VPN on one node, and not on the other for instance.I was considering the AX12 just for sheer performance but am concerned about range. I was also looking at the AX5400 is it just seems like a WiFi6 version of what I have now and seems to have more range. Subsequently, Asus released the RT-AC3100, which shares the same Wi-Fi specs but has four fewer LAN ports. Since the RT-AC88U is an AC3100 router, folks were confused between the two at the time — and probably still are today.
