I misspoke during my initial response. I was thinking about my AX88U when I answered that question. The antennas on my AX89X are not removable, but they fold snugly against the top of the router. I don't use the wireless function of the router and my antennas remain in the lowered position, and...

The antennas can be easily remove.

For $250, I am not sure you will find a more capable device that appears to fit your specifications. It does have a Qualcomm CPU, which Merlin does not support. I am using an AX89X in the same manner you describe, and it works flawlessly.

Doesn't the RT-AX89X have a faster CPU?

Thanks guys. With your input I believe I am prepared for any eventuality that may occur. I have DAC, Fiber Cables, SFP+ and SFP+ RJ45 modules on hand, which were designed for various enterprise applications.

Thanks for the information. Which SFP+ module are you using?

I have a RT-AX89X ordered, and I am preparing all of the accessories needed to hit the ground running when it arrives. I am aware that the 10G RJ45 port can be configured as WAN or LAN. Can the SFP+ port be configured as a LAN port?

Policy based routing will allow you to exclude your television, or any other devices you choose, from VPN. You decide which devices are connected to VPN, and which ones are excluded.

Thanks for the information regarding the hardware version. I see Amazon US in now advertising the RT-AX89X, sold and shipped by Amazon, for $449.99, with a June 9 delivery date. Are they that much in demand, or are there supply chain issues?

Anyone know why the RT-AX89X is, and has been, out of stock at many retailers, including on the ASUS web site. There are some that have it, but many of them have implemented significant price increases. Also, is anyone aware of the latest H/W Version?

Can the AX89X be configured to use one of the 10Gb ports as a lan port?

Dirty upgrade to 386.4 on AX88U, and not experiencing issues with 5GHz.

Not sure you need the AX89X to achieve OpenVPN speeds above 200 Mbps. I get 238 Mbps down, and 175 Mbps up, with an AX88U using NordVPN on a 1GBs up/down fiber connection.

Also using Wifi calling, iPhone X - AT&T Wireless, with 384.13 on an AX88U with no issues.

I have Native IPV6 and I used each of the tests in your post. All report IPV6 working. I am using an AX88U running Firmware 384.13, and using Cloudflare DNS for IPV4 and IPV6.
