@Eric30 The RT-BE88U generally handles traffic well due to its advanced hardware. However, when multiple heavy tasks like gaming and streaming are happening simultaneously, you may experience occasional lag or buffering. This largely depends on the speed of your internet service. If it’s not sufficiently fast, even the best router can struggle. So, it might be a good idea to check your internet speed. If it’s not up to par, consider upgrading your plan or contacting your ISP about the issue.
@MonicaGrant Both the Ubiquiti U6 Pro and the TP-Link EAP660 HD are solid choices for managing a multitude of devices. The U6 Pro, with its Wi-Fi 6 technology, provides a robust connection even under heavy traffic. However, it does require more technical know-how for setup and management. On the other hand, the EAP660 HD is easier to install and manage, but some users have reported occasional disconnects with a large number of devices. If you’re comfortable tinkering with more advanced settings, the Ubiquiti could be the better choice; if not, the TP-Link might suit you better. Both should handle high traffic fairly well. Always remember that optimal device placement also plays a significant role in network performance
@Mark B The U7 Pro definitely sounds like it’s worth considering, particularly with the significant improvements Ubiquiti has made. It’s great to hear that it performs well even under high signal attenuation and that they’ve finally enabled MLO support.
The high throughput and improved performance at a distance are particularly noteworthy, though it’s a tad disappointing about the slightly weaker nearby throughput when only the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands are aggregated.
The consistent latency is also a positive sign, apart from the latency spikes with the 160MHz width when all three bands are used. Thanks for sharing your findings, I’ll be sure to check out the full review for more details.
@TeresaSimmons The ASUS RT-BE88U performs well in terms of signal strength even when you are in a different room or a different floor. It has a good range and the signal doesn’t drop much compared to other routers. However, bear in mind that the actual performance will depend on the size and layout of your house, as walls and other obstacles can interfere with the signal. Some users recommend using a mesh system if you need a strong signal across a larger area or multiple floors.
How’s the MLO performance on the RT-BE88U when you’re gaming and streaming in 4K simultaneously? Any lag or buffering issues you’ve encountered?
