    Breaking Dad's Big Bad Gaming Discussion - For all things to do with PC Gaming !

    I built my current PC a year ago. I paid $264 CAD for 64 GB of DDR5 6000 MT/s memory. I need the RAM for my VMs. My dev VM for instance uses 20 GB so it can properly cache files when compiling 8+ firmwares in parallel. These past few weeks I have been monitoring that same memory kit on a...

    What are your thoughts on the new AI router GT-BE19000AI?

    Portainer is the only way you can create containers.

    What are your thoughts on the new AI router GT-BE19000AI?

    That would require SSH access, which is currently not available to the users. (It might be in the future, Asus weren't clear on this). Any backup method for now would need to be done through Portainer.

    Release ASUS TUF-AX6000 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388_33965 (2025/10/23)

    That's just the compiler toolchain used to compile the firmware. This has nothing to do with the firmware code itself.

    Asus RT-BE58 Go Review on STH

    If wired, probably beacuse it's inexpensive. If using a wireless backhaul however probably not, due to the limited number of streams on that device (and your speed would end up being cut roughly in half for clients connecting to that node). But then, if you just need for your phone to be able...

    Asus RT-BE58 Go Review on STH

    It makes sense for a Quick Internet Setup to only ask you for the most common settings, otherwise it will stop being QUICK, and it will also confuse new users. Having to use a custom MAC is an unusual requirement only needed by a minority, therefore it makes more sense to be configured...

    Asus RT-BE58 Go Review on STH

    You can already enter your own WAN MAC address (typically you might want to use your laptop's MAC if it's used for authentication).

    Main difference between merlin and stock for 3006 branch

    If it's not mentionned, then it wasn't changed. The initial 3006.102.1 changelog should have adressed anything that was changed over the stock firmware and which was specific to 3006. So, Guest Network Pro and VPN Networks both work the same as with the original firmware.

    RT-BE96U AFC?

    He asked about the RT-BE98_Pro, not the RT-BE96U.

    WrtHug, a widespread compromise of ASUS routers (via AiCloud)

    And finally a reason to lock this thread that is way off topic, and has degenerated into name calling.

    What are your thoughts on the new AI router GT-BE19000AI?

    Works for me. I've done one or two AI Board resets over time during my tests, no problem with it.

    WrtHug, a widespread compromise of ASUS routers (via AiCloud)

    Having a variable set to disable or bypass a security measure is not the same as containing malware. Sure, you can have an nvram value changed to re-enable HTTP access without SSL, or to enable WAN access over SSH, or set the password to "password123". That`s not the same thing as containing...

    RT-BE96U AFC?

    A V2 hardrware revision was supposed to add the pressure sensor. No idea if it happened or if the plan was ditched.

    WrtHug, a widespread compromise of ASUS routers (via AiCloud)

    NVRAM cannot contain malware. NVRAM is just a storage area that contains variables, with values assigned to them - it does not contain code.
