Im looking for a cheap but decent router under $100 which has me looking at the Asus RT-AX57 ($90) and RT-AX1800S ($65). I only have a 700mbps internet connection so im wondering if the more expensive AX57 would even be worth it? Are either of these routers decent for under $100 or would you recommend something else? https://www.asus.com/us/product-compare?ProductID=20870,16864&LevelId=networking-iot-servers-wifi-routers
I just got an Archer A6 router, on the product page it says it has 4 gigabit lan ports but when I go to the routers status page after its booted up it says the wan port is running at 1000 and the lan ports are running at 100. My last router I had around 700mbps internet speed wired so I know the cabling is fine. Is there a setting or another reason why my router is capping the ports at 100mbps? I cant find anything in the settings capping this. The model I have is TP-link ac1200 (Archer A6) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08KJF5BS7
I have to purchase a new ONT Fiber media converter and am not sure which ones will work for me as this is my first time dealing with fiber. I currently have a ADTRAN GPON 1287787f1 which uses a single yellow/green fiber and has only one port for fiber. Looking on amazon everything I am seeing has two ports for fiber being TX and RX so I'm thinking I am either looking at the wrong media converters or am not sure what will work for me. Can anyone point me in the right direction on if a two port converter would work or what I should be looking for in order to find a single port converter? Thanks for the help!
Actually the WiFi is less important to me than just having reliable lan routing. For WiFi I'll usually be using an AP in a different location anyways.
