I just checked with my electricity-provider: The stand-by consumption for our household is approx 0.1kW per hour (i.e. this is the power usage per hour for those hours where nobody is home) Quick math: 0.1kWh x 24 X 365 = 1051.2kWh/year at current price thats 4.000 DKr/year (~500USD) :oops:

Several different sites (providers and governmental) report pretty much the same numbers - up to approx. 400kWh/year on standby, which equates to 10-15% of total consumption for an average family living in an apartment. Current price is ca. 4,0 Dkr/kWh (~0,5 USD). I have no idea what the standby...

Thanks for all the replies guys. My question was to see if turning off devices from a mains switch (wall or powerstrip), is damaging for the devices. The general idea was to switch off as many devices that have standby power consumption as possible when not in use, e.g when we're at work or...

I don't want to contribute to the doom and gloom. But unfortunately the current energy crisis is caused by the war in Ukraine. A lot of european countries are dependant on natural gas from Russia for energy and heating. Delivery of the natural gas has been restricted, because of politics. It's...

Apparently we are facing a potential electricity shortage here in Denmark in the near future. We are being asked to conserve as much electricity as possible. It has even been suggested that electricity may have to be shut down for shorter periods, in selected areas, during this winter, depending...

I have my router (AX86) and several other devices connected to a powerstrip with a on/off switch built in. Is it damaging for the electronics to turn the power off to a router (or other electronic devices) without using the on/off button on the router itself? Does it affect the longevity of a...

Yes. Link rates stay above 3000mbps (bottom row in attached picture).

I have noticed a couple of things: 1) I changed the 5GHz channel to 56 and it seems to have stabilized the speed drop quite a bit. 2) On the last stock firmware (AX86U v.3.0.0.4.386.45934, AX58U v.3.0.0.4.386.45934 from oct/nov 2021) my system was VERY stable: It didn't drop speed and stayed...

Thanks @Tech9

That screenshot was taken right after a reboot so not all devices were connected (and it's only for the 5GHz band). Right now i have 16 devices connected but we have up to 22 devices when working from home. A few of my devices are on the 2.4GHz band. I have the 2.4GHz set to 20/40MHz by default...

Thanks for that explanation @Tech9

@L&LD When i get the time to do a complete reset again (probably this summer) i may switch over to Merlin. @bbunge Everyhing is kept according to L@LD's setup. My son actually gets better performance using the current setup, mainly because the better placement of router/antennas compared to...

Thanks for your reply @L&LD Earlier this year i spent many weeks setting up AiMesh following your guides, but could not get it to work properly. First with two AX58U's and then with an AX86U and an AX58U. Even tried wired backhaul. However, AiMesh was most likely overkill for my apartment. I...

Thanks for your reply @bbunge I was actually using the AX58U as an AiMesh node, originally. However, that prooved to be problematic: Clients either all connecting to node and not to router, or vice versa (I'm guessing "too much" WiFi, if there is such a thing). Unfortunately there's no option...

I have an AX86U as my main router and i am using a AX58U in Media Bridge mode (connected to my sons PC). After a "fresh" reboot of the media bridge and then main router (in that order) i get Tx/Rx link rates at around 3600Mbbps/2400Mbps (see attached picture, bottom row). After a day or two the...
