Just curious why you didn't just mesh the Wi-Fi because on the surface it seems to be a better/faster/cheaper solution with superior performance over cable?- Sky

Synology Mesh questions (RT6600ax)
Hello everyone! I'm having some trouble I think will be resolved going to a Mesh network but may be addressed using Range Extenders and I'm looking for advice, help, and suggestions. We have a 4-story building of about 4.000 SF that meanders down a fairly steep mountain slope at around 7,800'...- Sky

Need buying advice on mini-PC
That's quite a little box there! I can think of several workers in our offices that would do just fine, thank you, with that. Amazing.- Sky

GT-AX6000 or RT6600ax
I just finished bringing Synology RT6600ax #1 of 2 online at our HQ, replacing our old Asus RT-AC87R's. I have to agree Asus' line has the better bang-for-the-buck, etc. That said one might ask why we chose to go with RT6600ax's, which seems to be the point of this thread. So here it is...- Sky

Synology drives only (DS1522+) - OUCH!
Mike-48, the systems I cover now are all 2½" SSDs, save the aged Apple iOS stuff. The endpoint pro-consumer SSDs get FW updates about every 14-18 months and have for the last several years. I don't recall ever updating FW on HDDs, in endpoints or mass storage, but change happens. Interestingly... -
Synology drives only (DS1522+) - OUCH!
I've been poking the compatibility list off and on the last several months. They do seem to have gotten a lot better about it all; that shot they took across the bow was… less than bright for the SOHO/consumer customers. Their large commercial customers doubtless already buy their branded stuff... -
RT-AC68U Slow LAN
It could be the Powerline adapters are on different circuit breakers, they could be on different electrical phases, maybe also power adapter / charger warts on the circuits — especially at the "receiving" end(s). It seems pretty common to have a 30+% loss of speed over Powerline Ethernet even on...- Sky

Need help with protecting my wifi from a neighbor
Man that's the truth! Apple's default randomized MAC addresses can drive both you and your users nuts, especially if you need to isolate one or more of those devices. Alright, who put a new device on without telling me??!! (Yes, I realize this thread is old and stale thread, but so am I. :eek:)- Sky

When should I start preparing to replace my DS1515+ with a new model?

I'm still struggling with Step-1, admitting I am powerless over the GAS :oops: -
Future predictions - which AX router will be supported longest?
You're correct. When we shut off QOS on our 87's the speeds more than doubled, an issue not previously noticed until we upgraded our internet service to 1G — the best available at both of our sites.- Sky

How did you go about selling them? I've never had much luck trying to sell my old tech.- Sky

Future predictions - which AX router will be supported longest?
I'm in the same place, maybe for different reasons. Our sites are still on the old AC87's. While these routers have served us (and with the very able, capable, friendly and willing help of the members of the forum) exceptionally well over the last 7-years. Now it's time to move on not just for...- Sky
