Hello bro, by any chance, are you working for TP-Link?

Nope.

Hello bro, by any chance, are you working for TP-Link?

But i feel like i m working with them now

Hi I need some help. My m1 just setup but my digital lock cannot connect to the router. I check using my hp I cannot find the 2.4ghz. How do I enable it?

I had separated out the 2.4ghz but lockin gate still cannot connect. Do I miss out some settings?

The new WiFi 7 routers will often have some compatibility issues with 2.4GHz clients. If the IoT Guest Network does not work, then I guess nothing much you can do. The solution is probably use another older WiFi 6 router (with security updates still available from the vendor) as AP to serve 2.4GHz IoT clients or other legacy 2.4GHz clients.

In fact, newer WiFi 7 routers may often have worse 2.4GHz coverage than the older generation routers as well.

I use my trusted Asus RT-AX86U for legacy 2.4G clients (not so much into IoT myself). Then I use either TP-Link Archer BE805 (6GHz supported) or Asus TUF-BE6500 (no 6GHz support) for the main clients.

Interestingly I use TUF-BE6500 much more often than Archer BE805. I use Archer BE805 only when I want to show off the WiFi 7 speed (>2Gbps, or even >3Gbps at good days)...

Change encryption to WPA2 only

Restart router

 

[Jun Jun]

Which router r u using?

 

[RGNano]

If mostly wired just get BE92U or bt10. Hardware not much of a concern unless you have multiple wireless devices connected and streaming data simultaneously. I personally avoid wifi and go wired where possible. Most likely leaning towards bt10 pair as well. Or maybe keep my ax5400 as secondary router and get one BE92U.

Asus still leaps ahead in terms of software and stability. With Merlin WRT even better. Just scroll through this very thread and you’ll see how many dropped connections were reported with be805. Reddit also same story. Bt10 has its own thread, so far very well praised. Only thing I don’t like is only one 10gbps port on bt10 with the rest being 1gbps. Even be92u has multiple 2.5 gbps ports.

Of course like someone else mentioned unifi will be better than everything given free but at very premium prices. Don’t think it’s worth for most mainstream consumers.

Hi, the BT10 has 2 10G ports.

Change already still cannot. Connect till 40percent then fail then try to reconnect again cannot even go pass 0percent

 

[yaoxiukia]

Asus bt10

 

[yaoxiukia]

I go off my second mesh router, then at my main one I go seperate out one 2.4 ghz. Now that main router only has 6ghz one one and another for iot at 2.4ghz. No more 5ghz as I don’t want the door to connect to it but still cannot work

Tried updating the firmware and resetting?

Should I recontract to m1 6gbps and continue using my ax86u? I will sell away the be92u while I wait for better router prices?

Can recontract and use the be92u

Sorry I meant one downstream. Cause one port needs to be connected to Wan and/or to second bt10. So essentially you only have one that can be used to connect to a pc or other devices. The rest are 1gbps.

Weird considering the BE92U has quad 2.5gbps. Think bt10 was designed more with wireless in mind.

For new M1 sign up at M1 shop for 6gb plan is 34.90 or 35.90?

 

[Fronsac]

Must understand not all can afford. And some of the equipment the speed is also slower if u purchase the lower end models.

Yes that is why i am comparing them to gaming router and those fancy routers. If all your budget can afford is a tplink router, then be it. But a lot of people is upgrading to 10g that is basically 15 bucks more than a 3g plan, 15x24 that is another 360 that you can spend on better internal network or a gaming router that cost 500 which IMO actually give you better value. 800 basically get you a pretty decent unifi gear to start with and even better one if you go second hand.

Oh I have concerns on the 2.4ghz range actually. I thought ax86u is still better option?
