I recently finished testing the ASUS RT-AX88U Pro and you can see for yourself the results that I got.

But this is not entirely the point of this post. The problem is that the search engines have become weird, so I need to ask you, the user, if this type of content is useful.

So please let me know if the type of tests that I ran are useful and clear enough. If I can add something or need to remove specific info.

I also intend to move towards video format and to be honest, translating all this written info into a comprehensive video is incredibly overwhelming.

Which is why I need your advice about what needs to be improved. Thank you!

    Honestly I’ve given up on single-device setups. Mesh APs with a router that doesn’t do any wifi is what I’m doing going forward. The tech is too different to put into a single device.

    I’ve had nothing but problems over the years. Asus, Synology, whatever the isp hands out, etc.

    WiFi also seems to be changing nearly yearly while routing (and switching) has not changed much at all.

      I don’t bother with “mesh” type setups specifically, but yeah, router/switch in one device (usually with one or more additional switches for more ports and/or newer wired standards) and APs in separate devices with ethernet backhaul.

      These APs could still be all-in-one routers if they have good wifi hardware/drivers and have OpenWrt support, but they are treated as dumb APs that could be swapped in/out if problems occur.
