Vasudev Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Hey everyone been a long time. I got a new PC for work with Ryzen 8840HS 40W model, a thinkpad P14s. It has soldered Wifi module so my AP Deco M5 has been disconnecting and often shows up as connected but no internet leading to missed meetings in Zoom/Teams. Currently disabled Beamforming and other settings for which defeated the purpose of buying a mesh router. Caused major issue with iOS showing insecure warning and even connecting after iOS 17 update. My setup is just like Router extender which is almost old with OFC. In India they have blocked 6E and above with only Wifi 6 being allowed. I had several options such as Ubiquity U6+, Mikrotik cap Ax, Zyxel NWA110ax, Omada Ax3000. Read about Ubiquity releasing beta updates and bricking device and slow speed due to slower hardware unless it's a pro. Omada has similar FW instability like Decos, Mikrotik has distributor issue and steep learning curve. Zyxel is the first time I heard and dunno if its good. The budget being 200-250$. Pros: Long Support Cycle 5-6 yrs Wifi 6 Work with Android, iOS, Windows and Linux without needing to disable beamforming, MIMO, roaming etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasudev Posted September 17 Author Share Posted September 17 @Papusan @Mr. Fox @jaybee83 Any recommendations for a stable AP without random disconnections and highly customizable. I did find some openWRT but they don't have warranty support in India. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Fox Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 I don't have anything, Brother @Vasudev. I am just using the junk provided by my ISP because it doesn't cost me anything and I have my wired devices connected to a TP-Link switch that has no GUI because... well... it's just a switch. 1 Wraith // Z790 Apex | 14900KS | 4090 Suprim X+Byksi Block | 48GB DDR5-8600 | Toughpower GF3 1650W | MO-RA3 360 | Hailea HC-500A || O11D XL EVO Banshee // Z790 Apex Encore | 14900KF | 4090 Gaming OC+Alphacool Block | 48GB DDR5-8600 | RM1200x SHIFT | XT45 1080 Nova || Antec C8 Spectre // Z790i Edge | 13900KS | 3090 Ti FTW3 | 48GB DDR5-8200 | RM1000e | EK Nucleus CR360 Direct Die || Prime A21 Raptor // Z690 PG Velocita | 13900KS | 2080 Ti | 32GB DDR5-6400 | RM1200x SHIFT | EK Nucleus CR360 Dark || Praxis Wetbench Half-Breed // Dell Precision 7720 | BGA CPU Filth+MXM Quadro P5000 | 4K Display | Sub-$500 Grade A Refurb | Nothing to Write Home About Mr. Fox YouTube Channel | Mr. Fox @ HWBOT The average response time for a 911 call is 10 minutes.

Thanks Mr. Fox. I didn't know you used a switch, thought you were on WiFi 7BE routers already with AX401 intel card. Still need to do some research though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still need to do some research though. I have all of my desktops and network printer using wired LAN. I really do not care for using WiFi for computing and only use it when I have no other option. Otherwise, I only use WiFi for my cell phone and TV streaming. I seldom use my laptop.

JeanLegi Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 I had the Zyxel Multi U WRS or WSR30 in use, currently i'm a beta tester for my ISP for their Wireless AP/Extender and a router from the ISP. FW testing etc. The Zyxel Multi U supports extender and AP functions so far i understand maybe this kind of mesh system is useful for you as well i had windows, android (tablet, firettv and samsung smartphone) and apple 12 pro with ios 18 in use with the multi u. i have a netgear AP (need to see which one) as well in my network box which was even a good choice for me and all devices working well with it. 1 cheerio jp 1.

Only few Zyxel were listed WAX630,NWA110ax,NWA220AXE in India. I went with Tplink Omada Ax3000 EAP650. I had forgotten this doesn't require app like current mesh AP and works through local IP and setup was super quick with much better speeds and stability. Thanks. Once the testing is done, I'll replace Deco M5 and make Omada a wall mount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasudev Posted 3 hours ago Author Share Posted 3 hours ago Closing this thread because I've migrated to Omada AX3000 for the past 2 weeks and so far no issues. Thanks Mr. Fox and JeanLegi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
