Note that only the Netgear router (s) has traffic data quota controls ( time and amount). It is especially useful to prevent "overage" charges from home/cable ISPs ( they don't control data usage like celphone service providers do ).

I’ve had many routers throughout the years.The Eero system has been the best for me and my family. Everything is very automatic and keeps wifi locked in even after a power outage.

I have the eero pro 6 and it is simplicity in its self, immensely powerful, and trouble free. In my opinion there is not a better router to be bought at any price. The app is excellent and easy to use. If you want an excellent router without breaking the bank the eero pro 6 is the only logical choice.

We’re two months into 2023 and we already have “the best wifi routers of 2023”.🤦🏻‍♂️

I got a Netgear AC1900 router a while ago. It's been decent, apart from it randomly restarting about once or twice a day.

I got the decco ones recently, pretty nice/good/reliable

[nrikhy]

Great video thanks. The newer wif6e router has the new 6ghz band. Unless the router has robust hardware an additional 6ghz band may actually make things worse. Also worth mentioning would be the number of connected devices and range.

You all need to put Plume up there. And it deserves the number 1 spot. I have 3 superpods spread evenly one in every other room. And I get 5Ghz everywhere in my house. And it’s smart. It’s the best thing other than having Access points on your ceiling and all have a wired backhaul.

You know what makes a better WiFi router if did a show and tell of the WiFi speed.

I've got the Eero Pro 6E 3 pack. It works great.

It doesn't matter if you live in an apartment or house if you have a telephone line running to your house or apartment but it's not connected they still have access to you

Bought a Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 thinking it would be better than the one Spectrum supplied but surprising it is not. I'm getting half the speed now.

[DanielPhilander]

I got two questions for anyone that can answer, might sound dumb. I pay per month for 20 mbps. I usually check the speed on my pc and it shows about 2 mbps, not mentioning other devices in the household, but, does the ethernet cable diver most data to my pc or not. Also, I dont even know how its possible but I get 200ms to 500 mx ping in my own country. I know it sounds weird but It is an everyday thing.

I'll wait till Wi-Fi 7 to upgrade. When your Xbox and midrange phone don't even have WIFI 6. You can be patient.

[Santiagosony]

No speed comparison chart?
No google or ubiquiti mention?
What a crappy paid review

[petebuka]

Did you know that WIFI 7 IS Coming on 03-15-23. TPlink and Asus are advertising these now. It's going to be very expensive for the early adopters.

[chrismv]

Really deceiving intro. Many items were over $100. Honestly this review was a puff piece. No criticism. The reviewer seemed more of an "eye clicker" rather than someone who is a tech geek.

[tld]

who needs wifi 6E. will they be fine with regular wifi 6?

[hyneephali]

Thank you for the broadcast video which router do you feel works well with a VPN?

[dhirendersahani]

Really this wifi router is so futuristic.
