Based on your response, I regret to inform you that you do not have what it takes and would wash out as a modern networking professional and be unable to attain or retain employment. Asus terminology is not what is used as the standard in the industry. You may choose to memorize both sets of...

I am unfortunately unable to provide details of my personal network at this time. I'm only able to answer questions for your CISCO exam prep, if applicable, or specific networking questions. You may ask a 3rd or 4th time if you wish and the answer may or may not change.

Sorry, I'm a retired professional and these are how we discuss this matter. If you get confused again, you can start with Wikepedia. As a CCNP I don't live in your Asus world. If you'd like to know anything else about networking, feel free to ask me and I'll educate you to the best of my ability.

Don't worry about it. You don't need that explanation.

My apologies, it's a technical term. I have advanced degrees in networking and worked in a datacenter for many years, and have my CCNP (a Cisco cert). I just assumed you knew how this stuff was referred to in a professional environment, but I understand many here are consumers or "prosumers"...

Yup

I'm not lying. This is just like my old model, but better range. Everything works better. 34 nodes now and counting. Not every new product is going to be unstable, which is the only thing that really matters. The rest can be improved upon as time passes. I agree. I only mentioned Ubiquiti...

And they can have my money, the BE18000 is perfect in my opinion from features/price/performance. I already have two Asus routers. It'd be fine if I need to set AI Mesh up. I won't go beyond $500 for a home router-switch-AP, and mine has been rock solid stable too and I'm an early adopter. Once...

Oh, I meant balk at going to wifi 5 vs wifi 7 standards in general. I do believe wifi 6 was a big advance, probably bigger than wifi 7. Although 7's MLO is pretty nice. It's an official and better version of Smart Connect. I wanted it. But without 6GHz having a range boost, I just can't see what...

I registered the router to my Asus account. No change yet. I have a feeling they haven't enabled AFC. I said this before, but this wifi7 router did not improve much for me from my wifi5 model. I know people will balk at that, but I play Valorant and still have the same exact 3ms ping to the...

Yes it's the same there. I do have IPV6 enabled and the IPv6 WAN IP is similar to my IPv6 LAN IP, but I'm not sure if that's a concern. Pretty sure I'm good on WAN IP being passed correctly.

I've checked for double NAT before with a trace route, and it is. I have read that dhcps-dynamic can remove the double NAT on the BGW320. Which makes no sense, but I'm going to try it after work. Found the thread referencing this- reddit.com/r/firewalla/comments/15koib1/comment/k8mtjpi/ Great...

It's working as it was with the last router in IP pass-through mode. I'm not sure what a 'proper' WAN address is but given AT&T generally forces people to use pass-through which is double NAT, I believe the answer is no. If you mean Cascaded Router mode, that's disabled. I just cleared the...

To add to this, because I was searching for the same thing. I think the Wireless->MLO switch is a master switch for both backhaul and client devices.

I should offer my thoughts on this router since I know everyone here is likely to be interested in an AFC model... it's worked flawlessly so far, roughly 30 nodes. I like it. It doesn't give me any additional 2.4GHz range that I was hoping for (old model was wifi5), I'm going to have to use my...
