    Solved Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Doesn't Detect 6Ghz Band on Wifi Router

    With My S23+, S24 Ultra, Tab S9+, and Tab S9 Tablets the only issue I had with WiFi 6E was with the lower 6Ghz channels. My Samsung devices would not connect only if the lowest three for four 80Mhz blocks were used. As long as I used channels above those, my Samsung devices have no issues with...

    2tb ssd with external power go offline during copy

    Why do you have corruption with One Drive Files? I use One Drive with eight PCs/ Laptops. I have yet to run into any corrupted files over the many, many years I've used One Drive.

    Replacing AC88U, serving 6x CAT5e, all WiFi from AiMesh nodes...suggestions?

    Cat5E is designed to handle 2.5 Gbps speeds at 100 meters. Heck, you can even get faster speeds at shorter distances. I'm running 10GbE and 5GbE on some of my short Cat5E runs. But if worried about bandwidth. Get one of the inexpensive 2.5 GbE switches with one 10G uplink. And get a router with...

    Release ASUS RT-AX89X Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388_32407

    I'm using a QSFPTEK 10G SFP+ SR Module, 10GBASE-SR in my RT-AX89X. Going to another same Fiber module in a Zyxel XGS1250-2 Switch. It's always been a rock solid 10Gbps connection.

    Why is ASUS disinterested in fixing RT-AX89X going out of memory causing a reboot?

    How often does this happen? I've been using my RT-AX89X for around 1.4 years now, using the stock firmware. And I have not run across any memory or reboot issues. I am using mine with over 130 devices, on my home network.

    ASUS ET12 best router I have purchased!

    I just setup a pair of the ZenWiFi Pro ET12 units in AP mesh mode, this past weekend. They are easily working better than the TP-Link AXE-7800/AXE95 6Ghz Wifi 6E routers in AP mode, I had been using. And they have had no issues getting greater than 1Gbps speeds from my WiFi6E devices. Using my...

    >$70USD Binardat 8 Port 2.5G Switch with addl 10G SFP+ Port

    I've been using the YuanLey version of that switch from Amazon. At the time, back in July, it was the best deal (And I see it's still slightly less ($60) than the Binardat switch). But I see that all those 2.5G 8-port plus one SFP+ PORT switches have come way down in price from the $90 I paid...

    Is ASUS RT-ACRH17 ROUTER good to buy ?

    I was able to get higher throughput from the ACRH17 with the same number of devices, or the same throughput with more devices. Plus, the ACRH17 provides more coverage and a stronger signal than the ACRH13 did. The ACRH17 is also a physically larger unit than the ACRH13 is. I retired all my...

    Please help me decide between TP-Link Archer AX95 (AX7800) vs ASUS RT-AXE7800.

    I've been using two of the TP-Link ARcher AXE7800 routers as Access Points for the last year. And I have been pleased with them. But I would have preferred the Asus RT-AXE7800. But when I was looking for 6Ghz WiFi 6E routers to use as Access Points(To replace my three 6Ghz FiOS routers as APs)...

    hi,,,, first timer with a question

    I've read about people having issues with the CR1000a being used as a router. But I use three CR1000a units as strictly APs. And as strictly APs, they have been rock solid. The only caveat for this is you have to use one of the LAN ports for the uplink when using the CR1000a as an AP. And there...

    Is ASUS RT-ACRH17 ROUTER good to buy ?

    I am liking the RT-ACRH17. I received one this week. And like my three RT-ACRH13 models I also use, I am using it in AP mode. A properly setup wifi network requires multiple Access Points. Trying to use one AP for an entire dwelling si asking for trouble. Multiple APs can eliminated...

    Advice for router recommendation

    They were open box/ used. That's how I've purchased most of my routers/APs over the years. They have always worked great. This week I received an RT-ACRH17 from ebay for around $39 after shipping. Which I am using as an AP. Which works even better than the ACRH13 models I am using. But is also...

    Asus acrh17 vs TP Link Archer a9

    I just picked up an ACRH17 to use as an AP. I also use several ACRH13 models as APs. The ACRH17 is definitely faster than my 13 was with the multiple devices I have connected to it. For my actual router I still use an old RT-N56U Asus with Padavan firmware. That thing has been rock solid for...

    Advice for router recommendation

    I use a couple of the RT-ACRH13 models in AP mode with 5Ghz. I can easily get 400Mb/s throughput over wireless AC with low latency. And they have worked great for the last two years. Plus I only paid around $30 for each of them on Ebay. I have been very pleased with them. I never need to reboot...

    Multiple Switches

    My GigE network has been my bottle neck for many years. Modern platter drives have no issue exceeding GigE speeds. The last platter drive I purchased got around 1.1Gbps throughput. And that was a 5400rpm drive. But when I switched out to SSDs five or six years ago, is when I really had bottle...
