    What tool can i use to test my throughput of the router?

    I work with Linux only thus far (in some months I'll be getting a MacBook Air to play with macOS) so I can't live without Bash, grep, sed, ls, cat, mv, rm, etcetera. I'd install coreutils, binutils, sed, openssh, ffmpeg, rsync, etc if I was you. I can't live without these command-line programs...

    What tool can i use to test my throughput of the router?

    Macports is a site that offers Linux and similar software, compiled and packaged for macOS. Yes, it's trustworthy. Since macOS is a UNIX system, and Linux is part of that family too, it isn't that difficult to compile and package for macOS. It does not have everything, but you can find most GNU...

    Probably my last post

    You don't need to have or use an ASUS router to stay on the forum. I haven't used one in years (MikroTik & TP-Link here) but I hang around here to learn and occasionally help where I can. Yes, this forum is very ASUS-centric (pity), but there are also posts that are more general that can be...

    Are you using IPv6?

    Dual stack since 2010 here. My ISP has pretty robust IPv6 support. Offers me a /56 and I can do whatever I want.

    This is not an ASUS issue. Ask Xiaomi on their forum if they have one.

    Archer AX11000 not getting full speed (TP-Link)

    940 Mbps sounds about right for speed, if your ISP isn't over-provisioning. I get about same speed on my 1 Gbps plan here, using a MikroTik router. Even if WAN is 2.5 Gbps, you won't get more than a Gbps on wired LAN due to LAN ports being only 1 Gbps. If you have a very fast AX wifi, you can...

    CAT6, CAT6A cable recommendation

    Get CAT6A. Monoprice cables are pretty good and not expensive. They ship worldwide

    My Problem with Asus Routers

    I am so glad I left the consumer router market. My MikroTik and TP-Link Omada APs are so much better, both in performance, stability, and virtually (for me) bug-free operation, at least I haven't come across something not working or not as intended since my switch to these platforms. Firmware...

    Advices about custom dns in a home lan

    I use dnsmasq on my Linux server and /etc/hosts file with domain names <-> IP address mappings for local resolution (I use .lan instead of .local as the latter is reserved for Multicast DNS like Avahi). dnsmasq forwards all requests to the upstream server which is configured on my router (I use...
