    2.5 gbe performance

    Thank you for the advice. I can confirm that 2 devices can obtain ~950 mbps simultaneously, and when a third device is added they all drop. impossible to get an exact combined number with this method, but it is somewhere between 2 and 2.5 mbps so i am happy. next I will introduce my switch...

    2.5 gbe performance

    am I understanding this correctly? are you saying that the asus router comes with a 2.5 gbe port but does not have enough horsepower to route data at 2 gbps? or are you saying that iperf is adding CPU overhead and reducing throughput? Unfortunately, I do not have another 2.5 gbe client to...

    2.5 gbe performance

    I am trying to test the performance of the 2.5 gbe network port on my RT-AX86U (running merlin). I have a 10 gbe NIC on my Windows 10 computer, which I have connected directly to the 2.5 gbe port using a brand new CAT6A cable. I can see in Windows that the link has synced at 2.5 gbe, and the...

    AiMesh wired clients

    I have one RT-AX86U acting as my main router, and a second one acting as an AiMesh node. they are connected together using their 2.5 gbe ports. The main router is then connected to an unmanaged gbe switch which delivers wired ethernet to several rooms in my house. I have noticed on the GUI...

    Diversion Diversion issue with Amazon and bank app

    just documenting this here in case I need it later. In addition to the domains mentioned in this thread (and the other amazon thread cited earlier), I had to add the following domains to get the amazon app to work: mads.amazon.com device-metrics-us.amazon.com aan.amazon.com I am currently...

    2.5gb or 1gb wan port AX86U

    yeah, I got similar results - it said great connection and disconnected simultaneously. but, the router was unstable. all of my devices lost their connection several times that day until I rebooted the router each time. i went back to the previous version. I can live without 2.5g for now...

    2.5gb or 1gb wan port AX86U

    strange - I haven't been able to get it to work. merlin on both units or just the main router? is the second unit an AiMesh node or an access point? with the stock firmware the 2.5 gbe port works unless I try to use it to connect an AiMesh node. I had enough stability trouble with the latest...

    2.5gb or 1gb wan port AX86U

    yes, others mention this issue here, and I can confirm this with my own experience with the latest firmware: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/2-5gb-aimesh-ethernet-backhaul.66082/

    2.5gb or 1gb wan port AX86U

    2.5 gbe for backhaul is broken, even in 9.0.0.4_386_41157. It *looks* like they fixed this issue in the latest firmware because it finally acknowledges the 2.5G port in the node configuration, but when you try to use it, the main router still can't see the mesh node. so, backhaul must be 1...

    RT-AX86U - Bandwith Monitor doesn't work

    9.0.0.4_386_41157 is riddled with problems. I had to go back to the previous version. wireless clients kept disconnecting and I had to reboot my router 3 times in one day to get them to connect again. And, when QOS is enabled there are multiple issues. It looked like they had resolved the...
