So there are alot of factors to consider. Do you live in a high density area? What is the speed you are getting from ISP?

If you are looking for a all in one, I Trust ARRIS Surfboard's. Great price and signal range.

It would be so nice to have a router that lasted more than 14 months

Going to try one of these. If this one isn't any good I'll move up to Google mesh.

Bumping this to get some fresh takes on mesh wifi. I've got a couple dead spots and want to move to a mesh solution. Anyone have a favorite?

I have the google wifi, I think rebranded nest. Doesn't offer the advanced features of some but does a good job.

I have the ASUS - ZenWiFi AX Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi System and it works great.

I've really had great luck with my Amplifi setup.

I've been considering getting the WIFI6 setup, but my older generation one works well enough I haven't jumped to it yet.

I've had mine for just over 3 years, and aside from occasionally reseting the mesh point, no issues.

We live in a 2,600 sqft ranch built in 1954.

ETA: I have the AmplifiHD.

Thanks for the info gentlemen. I'll look into those.

I currently have an ASUS wifi router so I'm checking this one out first. What model do you have?

And why are routers so damn expensive now? I have a feeling there will be a class action coming like LCD. I got almost a thousand back on that one.

They come in all price ranges. I did a fair amount of research before purchasing mine. I wanted WiFi 6, mimo tech, mesh, and a friendly interface. It costs more but has been very much worth it to me.

I'd blame it on the shortage of chips, but the AmplifiHD doubled in price from what I paid for it long before that issue came up.
