First of all - massive kudos and thumbs up for all the work done on Guest Network Pro in 3006.102.5 firmware. I'm not sure how much tweaking was required for the original ASUS codebase, but let's just say it reached the stage, where the VLANs are now very useful for a practical use and very...

Not Canadian, but lived in Calgary for almost a year and spent some great time east and west and north. Great country, great people. Hang on in there and have strength. Allies stand united.

I'm using Home Assistant ASUSWRT Integration for "passive" scanning (underneath, it does it via SSH). Home Assistant is a beast for everything (not just) Home Automation, but you can just as easily use only this simple integration in it. It creates a Device Tracker entity for any MAC the router...

90 million ?! 😳😱🙌

Wait, what? You mean solid gold cable core with vacuum insulated enclosure and triple ruthenium enriched alloy shielding doesn't decrease latency by 0.99ms? Shocking! 😂

It's a bit sad in a way. I like Asus routers, it was always very dependable solution for me and if you saw how much I'm throwing at the poor old AC88U, you'd think I'm crazy. But it just ticks along without breaking a sweat. Well sometimes looking at the temperatures that's maybe a stretch, but...

Purpose built Open Source router, hmmm. Never heard of them, but very interesting. Thanks!

You might be right. I've even started testing it all on Proxmox. But there's still unpacked AX88U Pro in the box! 😂

I was just reading through those threads. Pretty understandable. I am not in a massive rush for 3006. VLANs would sort a lot of my issues and help me massively to organise my stuff better, but since I still didn't have a time to migrate from AC88U to AX88U Pro after best part of a year since...

You're right. There's a reason why I gave AXE16000 and AX11000 Pro a pass, despite being quite tempting. Like someone said, these devices are for a few years (I am averaging about 5) and there's no reason to spend extra future proofing when the future is kinda not happening. BE98 Pro is...

First of all, thanks Merlin for your hard work and amazing news. Even if AX88U Pro doesn't make the cut (though I wish it does), it's still a great thing to have VLANs implemented. At least for me personally it at minimum delays the investment and effort in something like Unifi or pfSense for...

Thanks, this is the best checklist so far.

Thank you for your time and patience linking it all in. I thought I've searched and read through what I could, but sadly FAQ eluded me. Getting old... A lot of it makes sense of course. The question wasn't meant to try to establish routers to fixate on for whatever reason. I've made my choices...

Thanks. Yes and no. I was more interested in the why and the process, than what. Just out of curiosity. There's a reason why for example RT-AX5400 (and many others) are not supported (dreaded single all in BCM6755 SoC?) or why the odd one out (BE98 Pro) is.

Apologies for bit of a clickbaity headline. I was looking into new models for myself, also friend asked me for a recommendation so I was trying to figure out if the one I have (AX88U Pro) is still a valid recommendation and it got me through all sorts of rabbit holes and spreadsheeting 😂 But...
