Thanks, currently looking at the BE86U, one thing, it only shows WIFI data rates for WIFI 7, not a/b/g/n/ax etc, it implies it support those but doesn’t show the data rates, same for the be92u…

I’ve been checking nest thermostat and it only connects to 2.4ghz WIFI on a/g/n so need to make sure that definitely works and is supported.

I think if I go for it, I’m going to setup the WIFI differently… i.e. Guest WIFI – same as existing, main WIFI 2.4 – same as existing and then setup a separate main WIFI 5ghz. Also BE86U doesn’t have 6ghz band, only 2.4 and 5 so pretty much same as my rt-ax86s.  I’m considering the BE86U as a replacement for rt-ax86s. Not sure justified to replace rt-ax86u atm.

Thinking of getting ZTE MF833 4G LTE USB dongle for fail over, doesn’t show on compatibility list from what i can tell, anyone used one with be86u and all ok? Then just ned to find a cheap preloaded sim card with x data for say 1 year or similar at a reasonable cost. Not many USB dongles out there now, everything going MiFi it seems.
