    Best way to implement Vlan

    Correct. One router services my entire 2-story house. No AiMesh in my setup.

    Best way to implement Vlan

    @Tech9 is right in several respects. Ubiquiti is better hardware and gives you more control. The down side is there is a steeper learning curve vs Asus. Knowing what I now know (that doesn’t hold a candle to Tech9), I would have started with Ubiquiti. Nonetheless, I am happy with my VLAN setup...

    Synology DS425+ or DS725+

    DS425+ Why? 4-bay (but not expansion option) Intel CPU (might be better for video playback) None of the X25 units have H256 video playback decode. Both rely on client H256 CODEX playback. I think H264 is still available on both units. I think new DSM allows 3rd party HDD for either model...

    Printers on different networks but we can still print to them

    @curlyimac , It sounds like you are using "Guest Network Pro" to establish your Wireless 1 and Wireless 2 VLANS. I suggest you check your LAN > VLAN > Profile and check your "Port Isolation" for each of your VLANS. It is possible for a device on one VLAN to access a printer on another LAN...

    Which one should I keep, Qnap TVS h674 I5 or Synology DS 1821+

    Your DS 1821+ has a AMD Ryzen processor which is upgradable to a 10Gb NIC. Your lack of on-board H.265 CODEX decoding may be an issue. But if your clients have decoding capabilities, it is not a problem even at 4k. Your video editing may be another consideration. This depends how you intend...

    Asus RT-AX88U doesn't create Wi-Fi 6 network

    Are your devices connecting with the "old" SSID or the new one you created for your 5Ghz radio?

    AX88U Pro Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_33338 2024/11/06

    Suggest many/all AX88U-PRO users send (router) "feedback" to Asus sighting this forum thread. The more concern voices Asus hears, the quicker the AiMesh html/script bug will be fixed.
