    Replacing old AiMesh Asus network - need 10G local LAN

    Thanks a lot! No fretting but after years of building PC's, like to do all tech things right! And preferably the first time.😀 And thanks for the VLAN tip. I am sure I will.be playing around with things. Thanks, BJBBJB

    Replacing old AiMesh Asus network - need 10G local LAN

    Thanks! First, yes, i have a cloud backup also. I will focus on the 5G PC connection as best I can do now. (You should be able to get a 5Gb connection just using the PC 5Gb port to NAS and getting a USB (1Gb) ethernet adapter for your 1Gb LAN.) My PC has one 5G ethernet port. No others. So...

    Replacing old AiMesh Asus network - need 10G local LAN

    Still putting this together. I am going to leave my wifi network and router for now. Replacing two old 1G switches with a larger 1G switch to run off my 1G router but same router, nodes, etc. The below all relates to wired networking. My NAS has a 10G port and two 2.5G ports. The NAS experts...

    Replacing old AiMesh Asus network - need 10G local LAN

    Thanks for all that. I am not editing 100% of the time live on the NAS, however I am using a pretty fast QNAP NAS with an i7 CPU that other video editors have implemented but that is one of many uses for me. Thanks, BJBBJB

    Replacing old AiMesh Asus network - need 10G local LAN

    Ding ding! Thanks, the light bulb went on. If I buy a 10G switch, hook it up to a 1G port on one of my current switches, it will talk to my network at 1G. But if I plug both my NAS and PC into the 10G switch, then they are accessing each other, it will be 10G or whatever the throughput...

    Replacing old AiMesh Asus network - need 10G local LAN

    Thanks. New to 10G so bear with me. What is the difference/advantage either way for setting it up these 2 ways: 1) Wire the 10G NAS to one of the 10G LAN ports on the router and wire the PC to the other 10G LAN port on the router. Or 2) Wire a new 10G say 4 port switch to one of the two 10G LAN...

    Replacing old AiMesh Asus network - need 10G local LAN

    Thanks for that great info! As to wifi I have no specific use case, just whatever is most current. As to the nodes, I was hopeful things had progressed to where you didn't have to buy 3 high-end routers to have a 3 device mesh network. Maybe I should look at their mesh solution if it has 10G...

    Replacing old AiMesh Asus network - need 10G local LAN

    I am a big Asus fan and have a working but older Asus AiMesh system. What is triggering this is a new NAS with 10G and a new Asus ROG-based fast PC I built. I want to get those 2 devices connected on a local LAN on the 10G side. It looks like the ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BE98 PRO, (which I think...

    My RT-AC86U reset to factory settings by itself on a reboot

    LOL, I just want my router to not reset to defaults at 7AM :) Will have to keep an eye on it and on the status of support for existing and new products from them. BJBBJB

    My RT-AC86U reset to factory settings by itself on a reboot

    Thank you. When I was helping someone look at Asus routers a few months ago, all the Wi-fi 7 ones seemed to have issues. The mesh ones with how the channels were utilized, etc. etc. Perhaps that has changed. If I have to buy new one will have to revisit.

    My RT-AC86U reset to factory settings by itself on a reboot

    Greetings. This happened to me a year or two ago and it just happened again. I have an RT-AC86U as my main router for a mesh system with 2 other Asus routers (Asus 1900's) with wired backhaul. Has worked great... However this morning, internet was down, it still showed my custom SSID. I...

    Setup GT-AXE16000 before ISP install?

    Awesome, thanks. They are gamers so don't want to add delays.

    Setup GT-AXE16000 before ISP install?

    Thanks! I know with my old Asus there were some settings you kept off to keep the speed up. Okay to run most of these protection or filtering tools at defaults with the GT-AXE16000? With it being so much newer and more powerful I am hoping so. Thanks! BJBBJB

    Setup GT-AXE16000 before ISP install?

    Greetings. I am a big Asus fan and my network and pc gear has been Asus for years. Helping a friend setup their new GT-AXE16000 when they move in and get internet access. It will be used standalone, not part of a mesh. My question is can I updste firmware, run through the setup, choose SSID...

    My RT-AC86U reset to factory. Checking on my settings and firmware

    It's been a few days and router still up and didn't reset again. Anyone have thoughts on any other settings to change from default? I know this group was very active back when Aimesh came out so hopefully some still follow. Also, what is the correct order and process to update firmware. From...
