I use WiFi 7 from Apple TV downstair from using new TP Link WiFi 7 for wireless access point checking speedtest from Apple TV app and it get 750Meg down and 114Meg up. Seem WiFi 7 no different to WiFi 6 for same speed.

The Apple TV boxes don't yet support WiFi 7, rumours are that a new one in 2026 might.

WiFi 6 only, not 6e:

Mesh is a system Asus uses to link up several routers to increase coverage. For example my main Asus router is upstairs fed by ethernet from the PlusNet hub, and I have two Asus routers connected via the mesh system downstairs get reasonable speeds for my old machines.

Just to say, not just Asus. Many manufacturers provide mesh network capabilities (for example the Eero devices that I use).

Sorry hadn't seen your but saw it in your signature. Yours is too perfect to be random. I think your router might be dropping packets either routinely once every XX seconds or it's detecting it as a DoS for a short time.. I'd love to know why so we can add it to the examples smile

Its an ASUS RT-AX88U with Merlin firmware, connected by GigE to the Virgin Hub 3 DOCSIS box in modem mode. The red line is relatively new, I don't recall it before your home page redesign, but it could also be Virgin ISP moving things around last year.


Nothing on BQM should have changed with the site re-design.

Dont think I have ever seen gigabit speeds on my wifi 6.

Fastest I seen is on PS5 about 850mbps.
Phone usually hits about 700-800 (if I let it, my guest network I cap to 300/100).

I have no other devices that are wifi 6 capable, as the vast majority of wifi client devices out there lag considerably behind access point technology.
