    WiFi wireless vs cellular data 4g lte or 5g

    Will WiFi wireless always be superior in this aspect? As long as you’re not really far away from the main routers or ap? Mostly talking about a stable connection and being able to do personal video streaming (Plex or Emby not YouTube or Netflix) without any buffering at all. It seems like to...

    Is now the time to go to 5 Gbps or 10 Gbps home networking?

    Has it been for a while ? If so what do I need ? Most important question is cat 5e cable fast enough for up to 10 Gbps or only 2 Gbps to 5 Gbps ?

    2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps, and 10 Gbps

    Ok thanks. Side note you know 2.5 Gbps + is not standard when even Best Buy does not sell any switches or anything at that speed at all. Not that I like Best Buy. Hopefully in another year or 2 prices come down even more. Still it may be worth a try to see if I get any advantage, even if...

    2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps, and 10 Gbps

    One last question can I still get 2.5 Gbps local network speed, even if my fiber modem only supports up to 1 Gbps speed ? I am using a third party router with it that does have a 2.5 Gbps port.

    2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps, and 10 Gbps

    Can you still use these network speeds locally even if your internet connection is not that fast, yet, and benefit from it from the device or devices that have a greater than 1 Gbps network card ? It may not make sense for me though sense right now I only have one device with a network card of...

    Asus AX86U & Samsung S22 Ultra WiFi Slowdown

    Interesting. One of my family members has the same problem with their S22.

    Is it worth having a 2.5 Gbps switch at all ?

    If only my current router has a one 2.5 Gbps port I believe, Asus RT-AX86. Plus I have one device that has a 2.5 Gbps network card and port. Guessing no but wanted to make sure. I do download on the device with the 2.5 Gbps network card and port on steam at max speed sometimes while...

    How long is it safe to use a unsupported Asus router security wise ?

    Good thoughts! I am using it as a extension to a AI Mesh with a more updated router that still receives firmware updates. It is not the main router.

    How long is it safe to use a unsupported Asus router security wise ?

    Do they still provide security updates or no ? It is from 2016 I know I can't think a company will support it forever.

    Double NAT

    Thanks. It looks like it is a public IP. I will post a picture or 2 to show what the problem is. Right now for Port forwarding for it to work I have to forward the ports on my BGW 210 and my Asus AX-86U Here

    Double NAT

    How do I know if I have a double nat or not ? If it is not easy to tell then otherwise how to get rid of a double nat if I believe I do ? Got everything working with my Asus third party AX-86U router except thinking I am still double nat. Does it have any advantages or better to stay off double...

    If I go back from using my main AT&T gateway/modem to third party router is it a given all my local ip addresses for devices will change again ?

    Like for my Enpass local sync server, Emby, all the different devices like our printer, etc ?
