Hi,

I want to setup an aimesh with my current router rt-ac68u. I want to maximize my FTTH 1gb up and down connection.

What would be the best choice between the AX86UPRO and Ax88upro? Would it be better to have direct connection with the aimesh? Or WiFi aimesh would be good enough? I would install my main router in the basement near the modem and would have the other router on the 1st floor for better coverage.

    Sigh. There’s no way you’ll ever get 1Gbps wirelessly. None, ever, period. If you’ve a Cat5e cable run from the modem location in the basement, run a 2nd one. Place the AX router on the main floor (first ethernet cable) and then back down to a switch in the basement (2nd), and run more cables around the house from there. For a few hours and a couple hundred bucks, you’ve just added a few thousand dollars of resale value to your home in modernizing it to be networked.
