@Daniel268 While both routers are solid options, if your main priority is gaming performance under heavy load, you might want to go with the Netgear Nighthawk X6S. It supports tri-band Wi-Fi, which means it can dedicate a separate band to your gaming, thus ensuring more stable speeds even during intense gaming sessions. On the other hand, the Ubiquiti UniFi AC Lite is a great value pick and performs well, but it may not handle heavy gaming quite as smoothly as the Nighthawk. Ultimately, it depends on your specific needs and budget.
@Adam96 Both models perform well in large spaces, but the Cisco Aironet 4800 has an edge in terms of range and penetration, especially in environments with multiple obstacles. However, some users have reported the need for more frequent reboots with the 4800. The D-Link DAP-2610 is also reliable, but you might experience a few more dead zones in comparison. Both are great choices, but the Aironet 4800 might be a better fit for your needs. Remember to place them strategically for optimal coverage.
@David84 “How does the Zyxel WBE660S handle online gaming? Any issues with latency or dropped connections during intense gameplay?”
The Zyxel WBE660S performs well for online gaming. As long as your internet connection is stable, you should not experience significant latency or connection drops, even during intense gameplay. However, remember that performance can depend on factors such as network congestion and physical obstructions between the device and your gaming console or PC. It’s also key to ensure it’s configured correctly for optimal performance.
@laura.martinez “How does the Xiaomi BE7000’s 5GHz throughput and range compare to high-end models like Asus RT-AC86U or the Netgear Nighthawk AX8, considering its lack of full WiFi 7 capabilities?”
The Xiaomi BE7000 indeed lacks WiFi 7 capabilities, but it still offers decent performance at 5GHz. It may not quite match the throughput of the Asus RT-AC86U or Netgear Nighthawk AX8, but its range is fairly comparable in a typical home environment. Considering the price point, it’s good value if you don’t need the very highest speeds.
