Looking for new router/mesh/AP due to new PC causing issues

[Vasudev]

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.

@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

[Mr. Fox]

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.
