Congratulations! Honestly I have mixed feelings about this. But the most important thing is to know you, the talent and key behind all these great contents, are finding a way to live on and likely free of life's trouble. So it's good news in general. On the other hand, why not some payment...

I am totally with you here. Like I said their laptop department is rubbish because I had something similar. However I also had some experience with their networking device support which is a breeze. Just sharing some personal findings here.

I thought nobody would do this thing to kill their own product sale but looks like ASUS is doing it right! Love this. ASUS is a big company and they have funny ways of doing things from one department to another. For example as you observed, their laptop department is rubbish but their...

Hi there. It's quite a while ago and I moved away from using a all-in-one router system so I cannot find config details now. But I can share with you what I could remember. I finally figured out how to do that, as I read through all the available documents online and figured it's basically a...

This brand, Phicomm, called 斐讯 in Chinese, has a bad reputation of putting backdoor in their router to steal user private info. Their sales method is super aggressive. They basically gave away some models on Jingdong (consider this Chinese version of Amazon). You can infer what money do they...

Posted this a bit too hurry - I meant there's no high speed HomePlug, like AV1200 or AV2000. Totally missed this critical point in title. Sorry for the confusion.

Why there's no product that works as a Powerline Ethernet Adapter with PoE built in? I would think this could be a killer solution for a bunch of surveillance cameras and APs. One reason I could think out is price. It's understandable the price could be higher, but hopefully it would not cost...

Thanks for detailed reply! I actually do own GS110TP and GS108Tv2 for a home office setup. They sure are L3 lite switches and missing CLI is not exactly a problem for me after I finally managed to understand their web UI. That being said, I am wondering if a CLI would be better option for new...

Thanks, that is what I know. However I was wondering if there's important differences other than that.

How does it stand when comparing to Netgear GS110TP? As far as I can tell, they are providing very similar functionalities. Major difference being PoE vs PoE+, but I understand it is mainly voltage different in implementation. What else am I missing? Is either of them potentially more powerful...

That's a good idea! I can't believe it never came to me so. I tried to search so much about how to create VLAN to isolate clients but never thought to bring up the more general idea. I will read it. Thanks! That's exactly what I meant. Thanks for explaining! If I ever got a solution I will post...

Thanks for reply. Yes, but my problem is I want to expend the Guest Network to my AP. I think the easiest way is to use VLAN.

Hi All, I tried to read a few instructions but am unable to produce expected results. What I have is an ASUS RT-AC68U running merlin firmware with one AP connected. I can create an isolated SSID (one that cannot access Intranet) on ASUS without problem, but I cannot "extend" it to my AP. The...

Great article! I do expect this level of article comes from snb and never disappointed. Could you make this a part of standard test? It is really useful when picking routers.
