    Shallow Packet Inspection for 2025

    Is it just a cosmetic overhaul? Don't get me wrong, but it looks way better, cleaner, maturer than default asuswrt for consumer routers now. It is also FULLSCREEN!

    Shielded F/UTP cables + shielded connectors with ungrounded switch - a mistake?

    The longest is aboat 15 meters. What worries me is a 220V (consumers take 5-7 Amps of current) electrical cable in the same guide pipe in the wall... Funny thing is that there is a metal backplate on both router (GT-AX6000) and switch (TP-LINK SG108-V2) but also BOTH are not grounded...

    Shielded F/UTP cables + shielded connectors with ungrounded switch - a mistake?

    A title says it all. I have such a configuration with shielded CAT6 and CAT5e cables connected to a basic 8 port gigabit TPLINK switch, which however is not grounded. Do cables act like an antenna in my case? Should I buy a grounded switch? Looking at this one...

    DNS servers in WAN

    I am a bit confused... What is a difference if any, if I define, for example, cloudflare servers in "DNS Servers" or in DoT "Preset Servers"? My goal in my case is to be protected in DNS Leak with cloudflare. What is a correct combination?! 1.) DNS Servers -> ISP servers Dot Servers ->...

    OpenVPN Wi-Fi 7 Router Recommendation

    BE86 is a ripoff. A dual band only wifi 7 router without 6 GHz radio; not that 6 GHz signal is important or usefull (only for short distances and no walls...) but because of that it does not even meet basic wifi 7 specs! FOR 250 EUR!!! Look elsewhere for options, there are cheaper and perhaps...

    Release ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_52048 (2025/08/19)

    WHAT? Why? Totally unncessary if you ask me. If you update the node, remove the node in the main router, reset the node to factory defaults, and then search for the node again. That's it. It was the node which was updated, not the router...

    Looking for a mesh system with existing Asus GT-AX11000 Pro

    XT9 or XT8 -> both triband however stuck on 3.0.0.4 firmware (yes, you can configure VLANs but without Guest Network PRO features) XT12 -> triband mesh system with 3.0.0.6 firmware I would personaly go with additional 2-pack of XT12 or another same model...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.5 is now available

    So, a lot of "work" behind me... I had problems resetting my GT-AX6000 to factory defaults after upgrading to 102.5. Some settings stayed the same (Transmission!), probably because of the SWAP partition. Formatted the whole SWAP drive, and resetted the router to factory defaults. TWICE. No...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.5 is now available

    I did a full factory reset on previous 102.4 version but settings for Transmission client were still there when I upgraded and configured 102.5! Are they "stored" on swap partition or jffs?

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.5 is now available

    Dirty fash on my GT-AX6000 (did a full reset on 102.4 version, not planing to do it until next bigger update). Everything works so far, Aimesh seems stable.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.4 is now available

    Well... UPnP nor Port FW does not work on my GT-AX6000 with this FW. Still miniupnpd related bug?

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388_24710 (V1: 2025/04/29 & V2: 2025/05/05)

    So, what do you all think? Is XT8 getting 3006 firmware anytime in the future?
