    Is it a good or bad idea to split SSIDS?

    No split, I just use Mac Filter accept on 5ghz to only allow, my computer and daughters laptop , and conversely 2.4ghz reject to stop them going onto 2.4ghz. Works flawlessly for me. I don't want cell phones going on 5ghz and messing up my gaming so they can't get on it. Controversial I know...

    Choice of router/mesh point

    For the record my RP-AX58 works flawlessly. Wish I had bought one sooner, had zero trouble with cameras at back of the house since I bought it.

    I need some advise and help figure out which to pick or order.

    No, this place is the spiritual home of everything Asus, you would upset the gods. Have you experimented with Merlin yet?

    Hello there!

    Welcome, I would recommend adding a signature to your profile stating your router,firmware etc. The ancients of SNB enjoy this practice. Just to note, watch out for @Tech9 he is not a Mandalorian and knows nothing of "the way"

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.6 is now available

    Breaking Dad's Big Bad Gaming Discussion - For all things to do with PC Gaming !

    My two pence (cents) I've not used their (Corsairs) keyboards apart from a low end K30 we have, which still works fine. PSU wise we had an RM850 in one of our systems, this got returned and replaced with an ASUS rog one, as it smelt of burning; something I was not prepared to risk in one of...

    Exactly. 3 "Computers" on a board that sits, silently, on the wife's VHS VCR under the tv, yes you read that right, I am not allowed to get rid of it, apparently we still have some tapes that can't be replaced digitally. Plus it was so much fun setting up all the pi's and controlling them...
