AdminHi DevCentral community, it's your friendly neighborhood content manager!
My ancient router is struggling to keep up with my work from home/ stream everything / play every video game lifestyle.
Anyone have recommendations for a new router or router/mesh combo?
Thanks in advance!
NimbostratusI would like to recommend this routers. TP-Link Deco W7200. Best overall. Eero 6 Plus. A great three-piece setup for large homes. Netgear Orbi AX6000. Best performance. Nest Wifi. A solid Wi-Fi 5 system (but don't spend more than $200) Asus ZenWiFi AX (XT8) Best for multigig home internet plans. My Sanford Chart Login
I've been happy with Netgear's AC3000 Orbi Mesh system for the past couple years. I've got 3 points to cover my entire 1-level brick house and yard, since 2 wasn't quiiiiite enough thanks to the layout/multiple brick walls. I'm covered for a full day of zoom calls in my home office and then streaming TV inside or listening to music while I garden or sit by the fire pit.
EmployeeVyOS worked well for me for years. Also allowed me to test certain link speeds and latencies for lab testing.
