    Security Upgrade in Firmware Upgrade section

    Just made the jump from 388.8_4 to 388.9_2 and I noticed a few things like an Asus Agreement that I had to agree to, and a new section under Firmware Upgrade called Security Upgrade, that seems I have no option with it either. Feels like a back door has been installed with this latest firmware...

    So the 'WiFi 6" doesn't mean 6GHz channels on the advertising of the RT-BE88U ? EDIT: Advertisement "WiFi 7 (802.11be), WiFi 6 (802.11ax), WiFi 5 (802.11ac), WiFi 4 (802.11n), 802.11g, 802.11b, 802.11a" EDIT2: what's the importance of 6GHz channels?

    How long does RT-AX86U have left?

    Do I need to be looking for a new router for the RT-AX86U soon? It looks like I will have to start looking for a replacement for an RT-AC86U but if I'm in the market and the option is good enough I might buy 2 (2 different house holds) I've been desperately needing to upgrade my RT-N66U...

    Router sees unplugged devices?

    Well it seems to be working properly now after the factory reset. I've only checked on it twice since and the correct currently active devices are showing. This is the first time that's happened to me, or lets say that I've noticed.

    Best CAT cable to block RFI and EMI?

    I have been using some Cat6 550Mhz UTP Ethernet cables I bought from Mono price about 5-10 years ago. Never occurred to me that I might be better off with some type of shielding on my cables. All of my cables are UTP. What's the best type of shielding to block out RFI and EMI? My wifi duties...
