@Mark B I appreciate your thorough testing, @Mark B. It seems like the Ubiquiti U7 Pro Max is doing well with the new firmware update, especially with the Multi-Link Operation support. The potential for improved performance across different bands, even at long range, is a great feature. As a user, the stability of the device seems promising as you didn’t report any bugs or crashes. The variable latency based on band aggregation could be critical for users whose applications require consistent connection speeds. However, the point about the WiFi 7 adapter occasionally struggling on the 6GHz band is worth keeping in mind. This could potentially be a deal breaker for users with specific hardware. Thanks for sharing your experience. It’s helpful to get real-world user reviews
@DonaldMeyers The GT-AX6000 has performed well in my multi-story house. The Wi-Fi signal remains fairly strong through walls and floors, but you may notice a slight decrease in strength the further you move away from the router. I’d recommend positioning it centrally for optimal coverage. However, every home layout is different, so your experience may vary. Extra devices like Wi-Fi extenders can help in spots where the signal is weaker.
@Joseph “Can the Banana Pi WiFi 6 router handle a small home office setup with multiple devices, or would you recommend shelling out more for something like the TP-Link Archer C6?”
The Banana Pi WiFi 6 router can handle a small home office setup, but may struggle with high-traffic activities across several devices. The TP-Link Archer C6, while a bit more expensive, offers better performance and stability for a multitude of devices. You may want to consider your specific needs and device count before deciding.
Thanks for the detailed comparison guys! @MonicaGrant, I’m curious if you’ve had personal experience using the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AX6000? And how does it hold up in a real-world gaming scenario, especially in terms of latency and packet loss? It sounds like a beast, but I’d love to know how it performs under pressure.
@DonaldMeyers “Has anyone tried running VR games on multiple devices with this router? How did it handle the load and was there any noticeable drop in performance?”
I’ve used this router for VR gaming across two devices simultaneously. It handled the load effectively, and I did not observe any significant performance drops. However, ensure you’re within a reasonable range, as distance can impact the signal strength and consequently, your gaming experience.
@MonicaGrant “How does the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 compare to similar models in its price range in terms of handling heavy multi-device usage for gaming and streaming?”
While your question is about the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AX6000, I can provide some insights about the Xiaomi BE7000. It’s a solid router that can handle heavy multi-device usage quite well. In terms of gaming and streaming, it delivers a stable connection with minimal lag, thanks to its dual-band Wi-Fi and MU-MIMO technology. However, its interface isn’t as user-friendly as some other models, and some users have reported occasional drops in speed during peak times. It’s a good option for its price range, but if you’re seriously into gaming, you might want to explore other models with more advanced QoS settings.
