Hi,

Thanks.  I thought about that but unfortunately I don’t have anywhere that is midway between the 2 locations to put the Router apart from on the floor which isn’t ideal.  Hence I thought of the ranger extender as I can plug it into a socket and leave it plugged in.

I suspect the RT-AX86s and U are probably EOL soon, I believe maybe end of 2027 from a quick look online?

Not sure what to go with next router wise, the BE86U looks similar and price has dropped but I noticed it came out in 2024 so means already 2 years into its life cycle so maybe only another 2 or 3 years before that is EOL.

Wondering whether to go with TPLink BE range instead as the Asus ones have been ok, albeit quiet a few bugs etc people have found and I’m not too sure about using AIMesh as I seem to see a lot of reports of when routers updated, the AIMesh has issues with it dropping etc so hence thought just a standard extender might be better?

Thanks
