    Why not get a Wi-Fi 7 router

    • Lionheart on 15/02/2024 - 10:17

      for this price?

      • scrimshaw on 15/02/2024 - 10:23

        TP-Link Deco BE65 goes for $549 on eBay with the ebay Plus $20 coupon.

        or $554 @ SkyComp
        https://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=TP-Link+De…

        TP-Link ARCHER BE550 also $549, normal price but it has actually been as low as $349.

        • Lionheart on 15/02/2024 - 10:32

          That BE550 looks great, much better value for money, esp at $349

          When and where was it $349?

            @Lionheart: Locked behind TGG Commercial but sold out rather quickly and never restocked.

        • 1r4n14n on 15/02/2024 - 12:18

          For a 1-pack just so everyone is aware. You would want at least 2 for it to be considered a Mesh WiFi network.

      I skipped the 6E as in Australia the range of 6Ghz has been restricted:

      "Wi-Fi 6e devices may receive faster speeds within about eight metres of a Wi-Fi 6e router, but speeds will drop off after that."

      "ACMA has also limited the Wi-Fi 6e transmission strength to stop it from extending outside the home."

      I am hoping Wi-Fi 7 has a greater range. But will take at least a year for a good Netgear router to be at this sort of pricing (based on the timeline for 6E to come down).

      • 1r4n14n on 15/02/2024 - 10:47

        Can confirm 6E range is garbage. I experimented with the TP-Link AXE75 and it went straight back.

        • [Deactivated] on 15/02/2024 - 11:10

          But great for Quest 3!

      • burningrage on 15/02/2024 - 11:08

        Are 6 and 6E the same?

        I've just got an RAX70 and I thought the range was amazingly greater than my XR1000 even thought they both Wifi 6.

        • Lief on 15/02/2024 - 11:13

          No 6e adds a third frequency band at 6ghz to the 2.4ghz + 5ghz of WIFI 5 and WIFI 6

      • abs898 on 15/02/2024 - 11:22

        Can confirm 7 has made a difference to range at least in my apartment where everyone else is either on 5 or 6.

        Have only one eligible device which can wifi 7

        • singingwolf on 15/02/2024 - 11:28

          good to know.

        • burningrage on 15/02/2024 - 11:47

          Oohh… that sounds good.

          Hope ACMA is not hobbling this one.

            @burningrage: I got a Chinese Xiaomi where 6ghz is restricted so they will never get the 6E. They skipped straight to 7 which doesn't need an additional frequency rather using both in conjunction.

            • burningrage on 15/02/2024 - 13:56

              @abs898: Good to know!

            • mandelbrot on 15/02/2024 - 17:04

              @abs898: Which XIaomi 7 did you get?

                @mandelbrot: BE 7000

                • mandelbrot on 15/02/2024 - 21:06

                  @abs898: How do you find it? Any noticeable difference to Xiaomi AX6000?

                    @mandelbrot: I upgraded from Ax6000 to Be7000, there is a bit of difference especially in the range. I am on a private 1 gbps fibre line, so the speed hasn't changed that much.

    I had a RAX80 before, now this one: The router is rock solid, the range has even improved over the RAX80. Getting good signal in underground carpark below the house.

    • nightelves on 15/02/2024 - 11:38

      So with this you don’t need a mesh system?

      • Pielo on 15/02/2024 - 11:49

        You may, but it is the router with the highest range I have ever had.

        Netgear R6300 > Nighthawk R8000 > RAX80 > RAXE500

        • nightelves on 15/02/2024 - 11:52

          Would the range be enough for a double storey house you reckon if it can go through a basement.

          • Pielo on 15/02/2024 - 11:55

            @nightelves: My house is a double storey house (~60-70 sqm per level), router is on ground level, no signal issue upstairs (4-5 bars). My car is parked on first underground level, not right underneath but close to the house, and I am getting 2 bars of signal (20Mbps) there.

            • nightelves on 15/02/2024 - 11:59

              @Pielo: Thanks for that info. I might just still stick to a mesh system then.

              • 1r4n14n on 15/02/2024 - 15:43

                @nightelves: Put it this way, Mesh WiFi 6 > Standalone WiFi 6E Router for a large home. There’s just no comparison. Don’t waste your money. I’ve already gone through this.

  • Wiadro on 15/02/2024 - 12:21

    Telstra gen 3 rooted for $100 is as good as this imo

      For most devices and most smaller households, you are correct.

  • BaarOzGain on 15/02/2024 - 18:22

    I have RAXE300 and have had no issues

  • virtual81 on 15/02/2024 - 20:57

    Lots of discussion in here about 6E and short range and coverage issues.
    I understand some don't have a choice, but for those that do, why are you still looking at all in one devices?

    Best thing i ever did was install a dedicated ceiling mount AP in the middle of our small place.

    Whilst 6E costs more, and Wifi6 AP with PoE injector can be had for ~$180 delivered.
    Put it in a premium central location and you're sorted.

    Don't stress too much about WiFi6, 6E, 7 etc..etc.. 99% of the time the clients you're connecting to it won't support the latest standard.
    Regular Wifi and WiFi6 plain is perfectly fast enough when installed and configured correctly and in a good location.

    I'm running a 7 year old AP and get a throughput of 800mbit/s to my laptop while sitting on the couch.
    That's almost as good as 1GbE wired.
