I've got 2 8 Port ones from TP-Link ATM, was if I get the new modem I do away with a power brick and tidy up some cabling runs

I'm only really looking at it because of the vast amount of LAN ports on it vs the XT8. In relation to the Tri Band, it's been a sore point for many uses for being shirt/unstable, luckily I have it hardwire for the backhaul. My only use for the additional 2.5g ports is more to get media out to...

I have a paid of XT8's I'm looking at the BE88U (any good BTW?) I'm wondering is there any easy way to swap my main XT8 to a node transfering the current settings? IE: reserved IP's/SSID? The XT8's are running Merlin.

From my understanding (I think in this thread and in general) is to turn off the internet to that "group" (if that makes sense) with a firewall settings. I assumed the ASUS stuff would be null and void in AP mode. The Pihole will handle the DNS/filtering side of things. And I'm pretty sure...

Was looking at doing the same thing this weekend lol. Does the smart connect/single SSID still work with the ASUS in AP mode? My biggest thing is the misses just will lose it if I rename the network again... She suspects my son is bypassing the parental controls on the ASUS, I think his just...

I HOPE this is in the right spot. Just saw this video: (Trust me turn it to mute....) Now any advantage to doing this for my little Media server? I'm not after OMFG I GOT FASTER INTERNETS, I'm just after more thought put on the LAN, with my misses watching TV upstairs, and my kids in their...

Holy shirt, GNUTONS is like 100 times better.

"Storms" here so it's that dank wet all day than flash in the pan skud. I bust out most reno stuff I'm doing in the morning but we have a west-facing garage door, and the teenager isn't awake until 11/12... As I said in another XT8 post, I HIGHLY suspect the node dropout is a GUI issue, my NAS...

We just got FTTP here in the garage, luckily enough I did some renos and can run CAT from the first floor through the 2nd and into the roof, but sadly (not sure where you're from, but I'm Australian...) doing so will leave me toasted in our current summer time heat...

Was thinking of the MOCAs, I'd looked at them for our place, but I don't have any coax next to where my main XT8 is...

Probs cheaper just to use those Coax converter kits?

I played with those settings, so far so good, and i locked them to the main XT8 Edit: Id ALMOST say the dashboard is totally broken. My nodes were fine, Daughters watching movies, I'm watching movies, dashboard is saying now nodes are in and out, yet the media server is wired to a node... and...

Just checked mine, thats how the WiFi Backhaul setting is set, if you go onto the main landing page it says "Smart connect - Dual Band Wireless" When you hit the nodes in the AI Mesh setting and check the Fronthaul/Backhaul it has 5ghz-2 locked out for "Back Haul" Concerning the OP, I started...
