    Wire racks for AXE16000 router and external HDDs?

    I'm having some heat issues with 2 external HDDs that look like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08KTRBHP1/?tag=snbforums-20 I have some other HDDs that look like that on a huge wire shelf but nothing that would fit on a desk, which have been cool even under use. I've also a AXE16000...

    Fiber passthrough questions?

    So, I'm getting AT&T 2 Gig installed tomorrow afternoon and I'm planning to do the IP passthrough method, so I can use my AXE16000 and they say I need the MAC address of my ASUS router. Where would I look to find this?

    So I'm looking at one of these - Intel X550-AT2 Based Ethernet Network Interface Card, 10GBase-T Dual-Port, PCIe 3.0 x 4, Compare to Intel X550-T2

    So I was on FS.com looking for a replacement for this: https://www.trendnet.com/products/10g-pcie-card/10-gigabit-pcie-network-adapter-TEG-10GECTX-v3 (The Trendnet card mentioned here runs off a Aqauntia chip. I think my computer is allergic to the brand and it most certainly didn't like the...

    GT-BE98 WIFI 7

    If memory serves, I think I read on Dong Knows review of the BE96, that it's capable of 6.5 Gigs, while the AXE16000 taps out at about 6. So better, but only slightly. It was also suggested that ASUS was working on something to improve speeds to more than 6, but dunno what became of that. With...

    RT-N66U Goodwill or dump?

    So, I currently have a AXE16000 and plan to use this router for the next 4-5 years. (Bought in Feb of this year) But just in case, over the years I've kept a spare router or 2 around for emergencies should something happen. On my current list I have a AX86U that the AXE16000 replaced. (Bought...

    Cat 6A or better capable?

    This is just an interest of mine. I don't plan on buying anything past 10 yet, way too expensive. Ask me in a year what I have or in 5. I'll probably have a different answer for you.

    Cat 6A or better capable?

    Thank you. This was just a question. My area is being wired for Fiber now and I'm looking to get myself situated and once I'm all set, get me to a solid 10/10G and then I'll worry the rest later. Especially since things like 10 or faster will be expensive and I've only got so much budget per...

    Cat 6A or better capable?

    So, with Fiber on the rise (And my entire area slated for a fiber switch according to an AT&T install tech from a friend), can Cat 6A.7/8 do 10G+ (25 ,40, 100 Gig?) Or is getting things like SFP+ or other switches, cards and Fiber cables inevitable? If it is possible, when do you think we'd see...

    ASUS AXE16000 versions?

    Yeah, I think I'm 3/9 to return it if I have issues. Thanks.

    ASUS AXE16000 versions?

    So, I just received my AXE16000 from Amazon and upon viewing the sticker, I noticed it lists H/W 1.0 and a made in Vietnam in 2022. Did I get one of the bad batch of early model or have people with the same labeling have no issues? I'm trying to sus this out before I really get to opening it or...

    Bad router or bad phone?

    Thank you, I'll have to give this a try.

    Bad router or bad phone?

    I did so some things by hand after this started. (Was messing with the WPA2 settings) So that's probably what you're seeing. I could go back further in the log if you want to see earlier? As far as scripts, if it isn't in the standard Merlin, I don't use scripts.

    Bad router or bad phone?

    Also note that both the phone in question and the Roku box I used for testing are in the same room. You couldn't get better signal unless you were right on top of it. The phone is so close to the router, I could reach out and touch it. It's been that way for years and no issues until now.

    Bad router or bad phone?

    Well, this is a section of what I have around when the problem started: Jan 31 18:44:39 acsd: acs_candidate_score_txop(1835): eth7: txop check failed for chanspec: 0xeb32 (48/160) Jan 31 18:46:43 wlceventd: wlceventd_proc_event(469): eth7: Deauth_ind 84:EA:ED:0E:FC:22, status: 0, reason...

    Bad router or bad phone?

    Is there anything I should be looking for specifically in the log? It happened again. Phone dropped off and disconnected. I was testing a Roku box as wireless. That acted a bit slow during this period, but seemingly still worked. Also had an older phone apparently stay connected during this...
