    Replacing Router - Will RT-AX68U Safely Use a cfg File Exported From RT-AC68U ?

    No worries! Glad to know for sure rather than having to waste time (or worse) fixing a false step. Thanks for the explanation.

    Replacing Router - Will RT-AX68U Safely Use a cfg File Exported From RT-AC68U ?

    Definitely longer than 15 minutes here. Mostly wanted to rule out human error and minimize testing. Also delays the conversion of the old router to an AI Mesh node since I will want it for reference until I'm 100% sure everything is working properly. Also means an existing mesh node will need to...

    Replacing Router - Will RT-AX68U Safely Use a cfg File Exported From RT-AC68U ?

    Sounds like I will be hand jamming, then.

    Replacing Router - Will RT-AX68U Safely Use a cfg File Exported From RT-AC68U ?

    I'm replacing a RT-AC68U with a RT-AX68U. Using factory firmware on both units.sing factory firmware on both units. Can I use the cfg file just downloaded from the old router for the new one to speed up configuration? Any reason the AC cfg file might be an issue for the AX router?

    SFP+ Transceiver For Windows 10 Computer

    Thanks - the cards I've looked at do use Broadcom chips. I did ask the manufacturer of the card above and due to language issues they focused on the switch side and not the card having missed the point of the question. 10GTek now seems to use the same transceiver regardless of switch, so they...

    SFP+ Transceiver For Windows 10 Computer

    Looking to connect a Windows 10 Computer to a network switch using LC fiber and SFP+ ports. Connecting router ports this way is pretty straightforward since you buy the appropriate transceiver for the brand, but a computer strangely has me stumped since I don't see transceivers just for them...

    Is A NIC a NIC Or Are Some Better Than Others?

    That's kind of what I was thinking, but wasn't sure why the high end NICs were out there if they were the same performance wise. If I was teaming them I could see needing a specific chip set. The computer I'm using is a small form factor so I can stick it in a 2U shelf and only has two...

    Is A NIC a NIC Or Are Some Better Than Others?

    I'm looking at PCIe x4 Dual 1G NICS for use in a Windows 10 based NVR. The NVR will be dual homed to two networks and traffic speeds should not exceed 500 MBPS on either, so 1 G should be adequate. Looking at NIC choices the price range is all over the map from less than $30 to more than $300...

    PoE Injector vs. PoE switch

    The advantage of an injector is that if it fails you don't have to replace the entire switch to fix the issue. IMO the biggest disadvantage is the additional cabling and resultant mess o wires. Regardless of which route you go visit https://www.poetexas.com/ . Tons of useful information there...

    RT-AC68U As Access Point in New Hardwired Network

    After some testing I decided to use Access Point mode. IoT AP will be connected directly to the router where it can only access the Internet Wireless devices that need to access other LAN resources will connect to the ES-48-LITE. I'll need to pick up a few more routers, but used RT-AC68Us...

    RT-AC68U As Access Point in New Hardwired Network

    Thank you for that information - I was wondering if AI Mesh was supported in AP mode. I could do that, however I have two scenarios for wireless devices: IoT wireless devices (believe it or not my bed is one) that I only want to to have access to the Internet and nothing else. Frankly, IoT's...

    RT-AC68U As Access Point in New Hardwired Network

    I'm in the process of migrating from my RT-AC68U based network to a hardwired network based on Uniquiti EdgeMax. I still need some type of access point for IoT devices as well as guests and when I need to roam with my laptop. The 68U's have been rock solid and reliable and I have a pair set up...
