 All right, we have you want to take us to Wayne Pete one more question Yeah, this week from Wayne Wayne writes in guys. I really enjoy your show every week I think Adam was a great addition to the crew. I'm noticing a theme here Dave. I know. Oh, yeah No, I agree. I absolutely agree. So do I this has been awesome Yeah, I have a question that I want to run past you guys Could each of you give me your two cents on which router each of you have or would get today to replace an aging air Apple Airport extreme and currently still running the extreme because it just works But would like to update to a current faster router I currently have an m1 max max studio along with my current iPhone 15 Pro max. I Really appreciate all the terrific advice you guys give your listeners and we'll look forward to hearing what each of you have to say sincerely Wayne Amazing thanks. Yeah. Yeah The first I'm happy to share what I use but the first question I Ask myself in any environment where I'm setting up wireless and so I would ask of you or have you ask of yourselves is Do you need or want the ability to have multiple asked access points aka a mesh system or Is your home such that you can do fine with just a single access point to to you know broadcast and reach all the the corners of your home and That question you may not know the answer to that question My guess is you probably have a sense of whether you need that you and you may already have mesh or you might be Wanting to go that route. So if it's just one router, I Really really like Synology's offerings the RT 6600 aX and the WRX 560 are the two that I That would be sort of the ones that I would recommend right now They the Synology web interface on their routers is Full featured and when I say that I I can't stress enough just how full featured it is It's fairly easy to use if you're just setting it up and going but if and when you want to add inbound VPN Great, it's got it right there. You can do all kinds of you know DNS tweaking with it There's all sorts of stuff that remote access to it is very robust and simple and smooth It's just a great interface and the routers are not Underpowered in fact, that's the wrong way to say it the routers have plenty of horsepower to do everything You would need to do so. I'm a huge fan of These Synology routers and have been since they got into the router business. I I I wondered Initially, I don't wonder this anymore But when they released the first router the RT 1900 AC it was like well, this is sort of a departure for Synology Is this a one-off kind of thing like it was great and but I was really hesitant to you know go all in and Obviously, it's not they've now released what five different models of a router over the years So yeah, that that's where I would go with it if you need mesh It turns out the Synology mesh is pretty good. I switched back to it recently and Was pleasantly surprised it it doesn't suck and you know what it used to suck Especially for Apple users, but it doesn't anymore and that's a good thing They they've released it every mesh went through this by the way This is not unique to Synology when Eero first came out It kind of sucked they needed to get it out into homes and gather data and learn how to get these things together Orby was the worst when it came out like it you couldn't do half the things you needed to do and heaven forbid You took their advice and wired your ethernet for backhaul between the mesh points We just crater your hostess whole system. It was awful, but they've improved on it right like and so This is how mesh goes. This is how a lot of tech goes. You you know, you build it in the lab You test it you have it maybe a group of you know 500 customers maybe a thousand customers to do your beta testing, but it's never enough You need more and with wireless no one gets to see what's in the way There's no and so troubleshooting is really kind of just you need lots of data to build a Something that's robust So Synology's mesh is there if you want something simple that is going to work and you aren't interested in geeky features or anything like that the Eero mesh is Absolutely fantastic as well the TP link deco model of our line of routers. We talked about this last week from CES They are budget friendly high powered mesh system It I don't I'm careful with how I talk about their pricing because Their pricing Does not match everyone else's they are half the price or less of everybody else and their quality and And the the feature set is on par with everyone else. So they just have a way of keeping things inexpensive. So
