    Release [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374 LTS release 52E7

    Anyway, I did have a question: Can I leapfrog to John's latest public release? Or should I flash some release in-between?

    Release [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374 LTS release 52E7

    Yesterday, when doing a speed test with the n66u in media bridge mode... I noticed the device hissing during the upload portion of the test ... I did notice a brief drop a few seconds ago.. but overall seems _slightly_ more stable... speed is 100-140mbps down.. and of course upload is capped by...

    Good router search tools

    Good router search tools

    Go to asus.com. Go to "wifi routers" from banner menu. Filter for "wifi speed" of "AX5700 to AX11000": https://www.asus.com/us/networking-iot-servers/wifi-6/all-series/filter?Category=WiFi-Routers Note that this device doesn't show up: https://rog.asus.com/us/networking/rog-rapture-gt-ax6000-model/

    Release [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374 LTS release 52E7

    "Virtual hardwire" - my first thread here. A bit all over the place.

    If the n66u acting as an antenna/receiver doesn't pan out over next 30 days, I've only lost ~$30 dollars on this device. Hopefully it's good enough for a few more years. I believe I had fewer drops using vanilla ac86u. Strange that the vanilla ax11000 Pro seemed to have more drops than the...

    "Virtual hardwire" - my first thread here. A bit all over the place.

    Setup N66U in bridge mode This morning I had a drop - I forgot to set my mac to prefer the ethernet connection over the wifi. Mind you, there's a few new objects inbetween my laptop and original ac86u router. Slightly off direct line of sign is a metal dog gate. 1ft away from laptop is the...

    Release [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374 LTS release 52E7

    Hey all I flashed latest official asus firmware for my n66u (hardware version b1), 3.0.0.4.382_52272-g73d3ea2 I plan on using it in media bridge mode. I figure I could at least flash John's latest public release from 2021, announced at the start of this thread. Should I use any developer...

    Good router search tools

    The search tools on asus.com are pretty good, but I've noticed that the product data for asus routers is a bit shotty, leading to some routers not appearing in certain searches. I did find a decent google search query. I wanted to discover "AX6000" rated routers, with a "4x4" antenna setup, and...

    "Virtual hardwire" - my first thread here. A bit all over the place.

    I'd be curious to see how two GT-AX11000 Pro units compare to other devices... particularly some business-class product... but I'm not sure what business class products to try. Also going to be starting a job soon.. so won't have tons of time to d*ck around with routers.

    "Virtual hardwire" - my first thread here. A bit all over the place.

    Hmm You are very correct L&LD AX86U/S doesn't hold a candle to GT-AX6000 GT-AX6000 also has RangeBoost Plus (which may not even be necessary for my setup). Looks like AX88U Pro ($350) is already available...

    How to achieve xfinity multi-gig "Gigabit extra" 1200mbps connection

    Not sure what makes this one less of a toy. Care to elaborate Tech9?

    How to achieve xfinity multi-gig "Gigabit extra" 1200mbps connection

    That model has one feature, range boost plus, which may be of interest in my situation.. This is how asus describes the feature: "Expanded Coverage with RangeBoost Plus RangeBoost Plus is the latest, most powerful evolution of the renowned and exclusive ASUS collection of wireless network...

    "Virtual hardwire" - my first thread here. A bit all over the place.

    To really splurge, of course two AX11000 Pro units may have a slight edge over two ax86u units, but at 2.5x the cost (whopping $900 total). Middle ground would be an "AX6000" rated model, like the GT-AX6000 ($279) or the RT-AX88U ($245), both of which have 4x4 antennas.

    How to achieve xfinity multi-gig "Gigabit extra" 1200mbps connection

    Looks like the RT-AX88U also has a 4x4 radio.. probably anything that has "AX6000" would be comparable.
