To keep the kiddos confined to their individual guest wifi networks (i.e. no roblox eating up all of our collective bandwidth) I had set the bandwidth limiter to 2 Mb/s upload and a slightly higher download for them. No limits for our "adult" wifi networks. This worked very well for the entire...

It was plug-and-play, did not have to build the driver. Our GFiber install is Aug. 25, and I'll be connecting a 3Gbps feed to it and will report back with the results. Leaving half-a-gigabit on the floor with this, but if I have to upgrade to a BE86U then the AX86U pro will be a good mesh node.

Yep, just basic 1Gbps functionality with the current ISP (AT&T), the second ISP (Google) will be energizing our recently-installed yard-box soon (we hope). Unfortunately 2.5Gbps is kind of falling by the wayside for ISP speeds. Google is only provisioning 1, 3, and 8 in our area for new customers.

Sorry for the obtuse description, this is connected to the USB 3.0 port on my AX-86U and the fiber WAN feed is connected to it. Flawless for one month now.

I'm having success with the UGREEN USB 3.1 to 2.5Gbps adapter. This one is very cheap (< $25) on Amazon, and based on the RTL8156BG series of chipsets. In particular ethtool -i reports it as rtl8156b-2 v3 10/20/23. It runs very cool compared to previous gigabit adapters I've used in the past...
