I had actively monitor my WAN and only allow limited access, these auto update check seems safe but it isn't in somecase, for example when I audit my foscam cam I found it will contact AWS if you config it by app(so you don't need any ip for the app to connect the cam), I can sniff the traffic...

well, there are many reason some of us want to be radio silence :)

I use it as AP and I had block it in firewall, for me it will check for 3 times per day with retry after 30 second when fail. Asus should allow us to disable the auto update checking.

Speak about guest wifi, I really love synology guest wifi which will auto change the password and send e-mail to notify you, I didn't see any "home" wifi router can do this, and this is extreme useful.

I had this firmware reboot every 2 day on the 86U, downgrade the firmware solve it, regret I didn't get the 68U at that time and it is half the price still 1 month to go before I can on site and replace it (it is at another country :()

In short, universal beamforming(implicit beamforming) is the router try to guess how to beamform to the device, the device don't need to do anything at all, that why it work for all device but it just a best effort, so it won't work well for some case explicit beamforming (and the ac...

The problem is whenever you block the cam access to internet with "block internet access" and "parental controls" it also block access from VPN, that's why I said use the "Network Services Filter" and white list the cam video port, or black list the port 443. anyway the foscam should not phone...

install a wifi analysis app on your phone and find the clearest channel near your router and the place you are using wifi, the "AUTO" setting usually not work well. these app also help you to find which channel have the best SNR

did you try the "Firewall - Network Services Filter "? About the foscam phone home, I think they had fix it by provide firmware update which can truly disable the p2p function, I didn't see any phone home for my R2, I had monitor its connection before and I only see it connect to the NTP server...

Me.. I had 3 AC86U for my house, want to use unifi but my wife complain that UFO is too ugly at the ceiling

I found enable "Protected Management Frames" will affect aimesh, so I always disable it when using aimesh I love to have a real mesh with 802.11r/k/v as well,but either them lack ethernet backhaul or force to use app to setup, or can't set sperate SSID for 2G and 5G, or need a controller, or...

good solutions are not cheap, at least not like $25 with a friendly interface. either you spend more or build you own solutions, or find a old PC/notebook to run the VPN server.

Not quite true, as many of these product also listed their throughput under different condition and most of them are still way better than a consumer router, even after QoS and many of those advanced feature, so it will be easier to predict the performance hit for these business router. But I...

With 1Gbit connection most if not all consumer router can't handle QoS, firewall at the same time, funny is some business router are cheaper then many gaming router and can handle these easily, such as the draytek 2960 I used for years and my CCR1009. And they are more stable too.

LOL
