Found this quad band for a reasonable price, where the BE85 (BE22000) tri band is more expensive than this. Still deciding whether to upgrade to this to wirelessly work from my server locally lol.
CamelCamelCamel.
To be fair, this router is packed to the gills with everything feature you would need for the foreseeable future. Quad band wifi 7 routers are rare and all around the same price. Foe reference, eero max 7 is more expensive than this and only tri-band. This router gives you one dedicated 6Ghz band for wireless backhaul while leaving another 6Ghz band for fronthaul. It's insanely overkill for most people but I can definitely see the use case for some power users who may not have wired ethernet ports in every room of their house.
yep, when you want to add more units down the line. You could also assign 1x 6Ghz to a particular device (like a gaming console, nas) and still have 3 other bands for other devices etc.
Take 2: What's the point of a dedicated wireless backhaul when there's no satellite to communicate with? You can get a 3-Pack Tri-Band Mesh System for this price and MLO removes the need for a dedicated wireless backhaul anyway. In addition to this, I wouldn't touch an overseas router.
I'd run ethernet before paying $700 for a single Deco 😅
Same. but it's not a feasible option for e.g. rental properties.
@d3al: Yeah, I rent and I currently have random Ethernet cables running along the house 😂 I'll have to fix that up when my toddler's crawling though.
@BestTechAdvisor: yah im in the same boat. Renting, toddler, 4 cats and my workflow needs 10gig connection. Trying to upgrade to a wireless solution so I don't have to be tied to the nas all the time. still deciding is it worth it to be able to move around the house….
dafuq thats one expensive router
Reasonable price?
Is that in the room with us?
for that router yes. overkill for most people not for people who work with large amount of data. tbh in my line of work this is slow :v
That's a fair point, I didn't think about internal data transfer.
Can’t put a sim into this one? That’s too expensive
Will this router being from the US make any difference using it here in Aus?
I am using the BE11000, a 3 pack from the US and has zero issues
did your nodes come with US adapters?
No.
BQ16 also lowest price it's ever been
Zero gainz for most people. Triband 7 is the sweet spot
yep. for most people this is waaaaay overkill
I'd go Ubiquiti Dream Router 7 any day or the UniFi Express UX7.
Or separates like the Unifi Cloud Gateway Ultra + PoE Ubiquiti UniFi U7 Pro
These offer so much more capability, value and easy configurations.
