There was a time that tweaking routers, even modems, mattered. Not so much now. As already noted the defaults are probably good enough.

"Seem to me they don't" What item are you referring too? Cause if it wireless access point you can always find those with latest and greatest because they're easier to make. The routers and all the extra stuff they have do don't come out first. ASUS will put ONE out just to grab attention.

I've never used Guest services. "APs are cheaper and work better though" Seems to me they also lag behind as compared to routers. The routers get a big roll out due to performance increases. AP's are just there if you can find one. I ended up sending the WiFi 6e AP back. It worked great. Just...

I do not use Guest Network. IF I needed that kind of thing would use PFSense anyway.

"2Gbps ISP speeds?" No. It hangs between 1.6 and 1.8. But faster than 1gb and have 2.5gb capable little home network, wife works from home. "6E isn't going away when WiFi7 arrives -" I have no idea of course but do listen to tech folks discuss it. Most of them advise not worth the cost. So if...

Windows 10 doesn’t support Wifi6E. You can tweak it to do so but you have to use a particular older driver set. So IF you’re using Windows 10 and have not used the driver package that does work in Windows 10 you’ll be wasting your time. I have an older Windows 10 laptop and put an AX210 in...

I understand Wifi6E is going to go the way of DVD’s at the Redbox. Thing is I have 6E clients. New laptops, new iPHONE, 11th Generation Intel NUC, etc. I wanted to at least test it. Here were my options to at least test it. 1. New wifi 6E router. They are too expensive and my AX86U is such a...

”OpnSense” Was going to suggest PFSense on one of those appliances. The newest versions support i225’s. Their beta addressed the i226 Intel drivers. Which for most of those bare appliances the network chip is i226. You can also include and use Realtek’s driver so Realtek based 2.5gb NIC’s...

“No home router has 2.5GbE capable hardware” You sure about that Hoss?

"my port-aggregated qnap connection as wired." That's great. I've looked through setup options and don't see anything that would trigger the mis-read of wireless.

Not sure what to call this but its not accurate. I have an NAS connected via lan port aggregation/trunking. In other words wired. The router reports it connected wirelessly although there's no wireless stats. See pix.

There's quit a thread about doing this already. You'll want to check actual throughput as many of us found out that seeing "2.5gb" in the firmware did not mean internally the USB circuit kept up. Good work compiling those drivers.

Interesting the 22.45 driver does not have the Advanced Option to enable the 6ghz channel. It is enabled without a specific instruction to do so. No registry tweak either. Whatever it is that is preventing the simple installation in Windows 10 can not be THAT big a deal. Why Intel can't figure...

Thanks for the on going attention to the firmware RMerlin. 388.2.beta working great for me on my AX86U.

“Those instructions should only be needed for earlier iterations of W10” Sorry but in my experience that is not the case.
