The thing is with a software router like pf/opnsense it all depends on the hardware you buy. I mean you can compare a router like this with the router they have in the Rack. However that router does not do wifi and just route IPs on Physical links. Where as this is basically just geared for home use and over the Air stuff. Its hard if not impossible to do a comparison especially if you wanna have/see wifi numbers, because this is just not what pf/opnsense are build for.

One point that reviewers never talk about is the company support for their routers over the years. I've been using TPLink until last year, but their abandoning a lot of their routers. I've switched to Asus, and their support for old routers is impressive! Not to mention the option to install a open source version of their firmware.

Just FYI - most TP-Link devices do have first class dd-wrt and OpenWRT support, just look for the Qualcomm based ones. As for Asus - they also stop updating their devices' firmware after 2-3 years; i.e. I have a perfectly capable 4G-AC53U LTE-A modem/AC wifi router combo, which launched for 200€. 4 core CPU, 256mb RAM, 128mb flash - doesn't recieve any updates anymore!

My ISP provides the cheapest PoS router possible with like a 10ft range on the signal. Like seriously - it can't even pass through a wall, so if you go outside the front door literally 5 feet from the router you'll lose connection to it. So we bridged a higher end model to it with a much stronger signal. My ISP lost its shit. "You can't do that! It's causing errors in our router that are backing up to the gateway to your area, and the signal strength on our router is just fine for your house."

I got a TP-Link Archer AX75 for $160usd a few months ago and the performance has been phenomenal. I have about 24 devices on a .25 acre lot, 3.5 gamers in the house. I am using two AX mesh extenders - one covers a dead spot for a camera and the other acts as a bridge for a PS4 and PC to make remote play from my PS5 actually work. I almost paid $200 for the AXE version but none of my devices can use 6ghz and, based on this video, none of the devices I plan on replacing in the next few years would even take advantage of the new band.

In the case of my linksys router, when I turned OFF the 'media prioritization' feature, I went from 400mb down to 950mb. I'm assuming because the router was no longer looking at every packet to determine prioritization, slowing it down. Or, maybe just a lot of things weren't getting correctly prioritized.

I bought a Razer Sila a long time ago and it has been my mainstay for a while.

Since that, I have been trying to get Razer to tell me who built their router and allow me to change it to OpenWrt, because they ended support for that device. And, this is where I see the bigger problem with "consumer solutions": They can just end support for the device, and you can't do anything with it after the fact (as in, security updates and alike). I hope MSI keeps those things well maintained and allows communities to eventually "take over" to do whatever with them once they decide to end support.

Generally you configure your Internet connection's top speed in your router's QoS settings so while it does cap it, you don't notice that the speed has been capped. I would also argue that QoS at the chokepoint that is your Internet connection matters more there than it does at your ISP.

The main point you missed, usually attached antenna out of the box means non-removable. So which one is it?

non-removable

I have never seen a lot of testing network usage using steam and plex at 4k. Curious to see those numbers.

I have a UniFi AP at home. Does someone know why the download is slower than the upload even though noone else is using the network?

@denisehouck5766 6 ай бұрын

does anyone know why my internet is still horrible. ive bought this after my internet started to constantly disconnect me from it and i would reconnect minutes later but by then i’m kicked out the game. my family bought 3 i’m guessing boosters they go on each level of ours house the modem is at the bottom and it still wasn’t helping so i decided to buy this. now while being disconnected constantly has fixed it when i first got i it was working but now i’m consult at high ping or lagging anyone known why i used spectrum should i buy an internet bridge or what i’m desperate for gaming

Do u put the Ethernet in your WiFi router or can I put it in my pc

I've yet to see a good home QOS. My Asus router has QOS for gaming and it literally just slows everything else down... You only need this if you are throttled for speed based on what you are trying to do. With a 1 gig home connection and 5 people at peak at home.... zero issues with QOS off.

As a simple home user the price is to much , i get it some people do use it's full potential , but for most people a 100$ ish TP link or any other wifi 6 router is enough , i still like it don't get me wrong.

You’re totally right. Got myself a 100€ tp link WiFi 6 router off eBay (I think ax73 is the name) and this thing suits my needs perfectly! Even has dyndns built in!

I would actually try to source good wifi 6 routers. Because sometimes they can be complete junk.

pretty decent testing overall but why even mess around with wifi to start with is the only question and the other thing is that wifi7 is basically here already - those are the only caveats

Can you make an actual video testing those gaming routers QOS functionality? I once bought a Netgear gaming router for about 400$ just for this function. (I had a limited bandwidth connection) but it never worked for me (at least for the game I was playing). As soon as one device started playing KZfaq, I was lagging AF. I guess my game was not popullar enough or wasn't compatible. You could set which IPs you want to prioritise, but how I was suppose to know that IPs my game is using. Those are not available to find so easy and some games use more than one. I even try to prioritise traffic for my ethernet connection on PC over WiFi for the rest of the devises.

@davidenzler1691 Жыл бұрын

The IP is whatever device the game is running on. I dont know how they work specifically, but Im assuming the router figures out which packets are game related based on their contents. If you have a specific device you play games off of, then just setting that device to a higher priority would be the same effect. Tbh I dont think it would make a HUGE difference if you had a really limited connection. It's just making tweaks to the queuing algo and maybe dedicating 1 or 2 channels to "gaming" or whatever you have. I think it makes more sense if you have a fast connection from your home to ISP, but have a lot of users on your network. Like 4 people streaming video, a person playing games, etc. It reduces congestion on the local network but once the packet is routed out of your local net then it doesnt matter 🤷🏻‍♂️

@davidenzler1691 Жыл бұрын

For further clarification, the QOS effects only local traffic, but it's not going to effect a slower connection from your modem to your ISP.

@Bob_Smith19 Жыл бұрын

QOS is a marketing gimic. Anyone that allows a third party into their router is asking for trouble.

the problem i have (be in the UK) is im supplied a reasonably decent router free so unless they start pricing them cheaper i can justify the expense to see if they would actually make any difference to my ISP's free one.

@WildfireX Жыл бұрын

It has uses for other things though I'm also in the UK & use a separate VPN router from the Virgin media supplied one The problem is the biggest bottle neck for me is the cpu power of my VPN router which causes more slowdown than expected when VPN gaming Buying something like this with a much better CPU plus the future proof options (although I already have wifi 6e devices) would be good The only concern is the VPN covering the entire network capabilities.
