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!

    I’m trying to look for a good Wifi 6E router that can use open source firmware like dd wrt. Haven’t been able to find one yet. Any advice?

      Not dd wrt, but I got a redmi ax6000 and after an evening of tinkering I got openwrt working. Pretty good, WiFi 6 and all that for a 100 eur router.

        Not OP but that’s good to know, thanks for the heads-up!

      OpnSense for router/switch/etc. and a Ruckus box running the Unleashed firmware for the AP.

      Honestly, I don’t think there are any WiFi 6 or 6e routers that support ddwrt. And only a handful that support openwrt… Can’t recommend any since I did not test them.

      Not 6E but the GLINet Flint 2 runs a flavour of OpenWrt 23.05.

      I own the original Flint and I have been really happy with it. It’s has a “fisher price” mode for most people; but then you can also log into Luci and really tinker under the hood.

        I have the Flint 2. I’m only using it as a dumb AP and managed switch but the wireless performance has been a significant step up over previous APs and routers I’ve owned, even if it doesn’t support 6E. And it comes with a couple of 2.5GbE ports so you can integrate it with a 2.5GbE LAN and use with a 2.5GbE+ internet connection (not that it’s very common yet).

        To OP: the firmware is in its early days (both stock and snapshot openwrt) so you may run into problems with some use cases.
