I have a multi-story house, and the wifi signal on some levels was not good. I purchased the EBA63 to improve the coverage on those levels. My main router is a reasonably modern Asus GT-AX6000. The EBA63 works well as an AP for the GT-AX6000 using Asus's AIMesh feature. The router and AP are connected with gigabit Ethernet, so the EBA63 uses Ethernet for backhaul. My devices typically reach 300Mbps to 600Mbps when connected to the AP. It can be even faster if the client device is next to the AP. It has been running for two weeks and is stable. The client devices are able to roam seamlessly.I cannot comment about this AP with other networking ecosystems because I have not tested those scenarios, but with Asus AIMesh, it works well.The setup was not too complex, but here are a few issues I encountered and the solutions I found.-I have heard claims that using a web browser to configure the EBA63 is possible, but I couldn't get that to work. I used the app.-The EBA63 was defaulting to wireless backhaul even though it had access to Ethernet. When it was in wireless backhaul mode, the throughput was halved. I had to go into the app and manually set the backhaul priority. Pressing the "Diagnosis" button in the app seemed to reset this preference.-I use it with POE. I was replacing an older AP that used a passive POE injector. The EBA63 does not support passive POE (I tested it). I replaced the injector with a more modern 802.3at injector, and the AP worked. I think ASUS claims that the EBA63 supports PoE and PoE+ standards.-I updated the firmware early in the setup process. This might have helped me avoid some of the issues reported by other users.

Great to have when oxygen regulator swapping between tanks as they fall off and then can’t use regulator and oxygen.Our oxygen company never told us this could happen and so when it did I luckily was able to place quick order on Amazon. Good quality product too.

I am not an IT pro or networking expert. I just needed an easy-to-install wired router for my small home office, which has one or two PCs running at a time. This router fits the bill perfectly. This is a big deal because there seem to be very few routers that meet these simple criteria (wired and easy to install). In fact, as of this writing in September 2024, this is the only one I could find. It seems the tech industry has decided everyone using the internet at home wants wifi. And anyone who doesn't want wifi must be a networking expert. What they are missing is that there are some important reasons why a home user who is not a networking expert might prefer a wired router:- Faster internet speeds.- Superior security.- No additional radio waves bouncing around the house, a potential technical or health issue.Pros of this unit:- Wired only. No wifi capabilty without adding other components.- Plug-and-play simplicity, if that's what you want. Seriously, I simply plugged everything in and it worked flawlessly.- Fast internet speeds. Provided the highest internet speeds I've ever seen through a router.- Tons of advanced networking features if you need them. There are web and mobile interfaces you can use to access the well-designed online dashboard. Honestly, most of the settings there were over my head. It appears you don't need to use the interface at all if you don't want to.- Physical design is clean, simple, and compact. The case is metal, believe it or not, which I think is great.- Provides immediate connection when started up, unlike some other wired routers that reportedly take a few minutes to start delivering data.Cons:- It isn't designed for desktop use. Rather, it seems like it's meant to be screwed to a wall in a server room or something like that. I say this because it doesn't really have a "front", unless it's the top where the name is printed. There are screw slots on the bottom. Power input and internet connections are on opposite sides of the unit. For SOHO use (small office / home office), it would be nice to have all the wires going into one side and indicator lights on the other.- Confusingly, it has "Wifi" in its name. Apparently ExpertWifi is the name of the product line, which does include some wifi components. By itself, to be clear, this unit has no wifi capability.- It comes with a comically simple quick start guide that basically just says to plug everything in and then check out the user interface. A little more plain-English explanation for the non tech-savvy would be cool.All in all, after many hours of searching online and reading articles, I've concluded this router is in a class by itself: a simple, efficient, plug-and-play wired router. Thank you, ASUS!

I am not an IT pro or networking expert. I just needed an easy-to-install wired router for my small home office, which has one or two PCs running at a time. This router fits the bill perfectly. This is a big deal because there seem to be very few routers that meet these simple criteria (wired and easy to install). In fact, as of this writing in September 2024, this is the only one I could find. It seems the tech industry has decided everyone using the internet at home wants wifi. And anyone who doesn't want wifi must be a networking expert. What they are missing is that there are some important reasons why a home user who is not a networking expert might prefer a wired router:- Faster internet speeds.- Superior security.- No additional radio waves bouncing around the house, a potential technical or health issue.Pros of this unit:- Wired only. No wifi capabilty without adding other components.- Plug-and-play simplicity, if that's what you want. Seriously, I simply plugged everything in and it worked flawlessly.- Fast internet speeds. Provided the highest internet speeds I've ever seen through a router.- Tons of advanced networking features if you need them. There are web and mobile interfaces you can use to access the well-designed online dashboard. Honestly, most of the settings there were over my head. It appears you don't need to use the interface at all if you don't want to.- Physical design is clean, simple, and compact. The case is metal, believe it or not, which I think is great.- Provides immediate connection when started up, unlike some other wired routers that reportedly take a few minutes to start delivering data.Cons:- It isn't designed for desktop use. Rather, it seems like it's meant to be screwed to a wall in a server room or something like that. I say this because it doesn't really have a "front", unless it's the top where the name is printed. There are screw slots on the bottom. Power input and internet connections are on opposite sides of the unit. For SOHO use (small office / home office), it would be nice to have all the wires going into one side and indicator lights on the other.- Confusingly, it has "Wifi" in its name. Apparently ExpertWifi is the name of the product line, which does include some wifi components. By itself, to be clear, this unit has no wifi capability.- It comes with a comically simple quick start guide that basically just says to plug everything in and then check out the user interface. A little more plain-English explanation for the non tech-savvy would be cool.All in all, after many hours of searching online and reading articles, I've concluded this router is in a class by itself: a simple, efficient, plug-and-play wired router. Thank you, ASUS!
