Pro tip. Cover all your walls, floor and ceiling with aluminum foil. Then you'll be shielded from your very inconsiderate, band hogging neighbor, and you can stop 'complaining' or whatever your OP was about.

One month of stress test. Not a packet dropped, AFAICT. Definitely not a "hot" deal. Just a good, "warm" deal. BTW, the price is down to 64$ USD on Amazon for Black Friday. I just might pick me up another.

AFA as a privacy downgrade, absolutely! With Eero almost all mgmt functionality that's local to ASUS routers is behind a subscription paywall with Eero/Amazon.

No it doesn't (it's layer 2) otherwise I'd be alerted by my OPNSense firewall, plus we'd have heard warnings from all the security orgs not to purchase these if it did. I have a lot of foreign IoT devices, so I am constantly on the lookout for ET phoning home...

We'll see. Stress testing it now. If it holds up, then I supposed that makes it a hot deal. If it dies, I'll have a nice $68 paper weight.

Finally an 8 X 2.5gps port switch for less than $70 USD with coupon on Amazon. The price being the lowest I've seen other than on AliExpress, I had to pick me up one even though I don't have a current use-case specifically for it. It handles jumbo frames and does not strip vlan tags. Also has a...

Fans will fill electronics with dust which is self-defeating thermally. That's why I keep mine on top of air-filters (and change the filter every now and then).

This is what i was referring to AFA wireless backhaul with the ET8s because they only have a single 5ghz and 6ghz radio. If using the 6ghz radios for backhaul, you are guaranteed to get dropouts and disconnects unless the nodes are w/in 10 feet of each other. A human body walking past and...

ET8s should only ever use wired backhaul, otherwise you'd be better off with XT8s.

Tried to PM you but was told I don't have such privileges.

https://rog.asus.com/us/networking/rog-rapture-gt-ax6000-model/ It's with tears in my eyes that I'm selling my two pet tarantulas. Both are less than 6 months old and still under warranty. Not a scratch on them, and they were kept on top of air filters, so not allowed to get hot (heat degrades...

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08ZHGT2ZP/?tag=snbforums-20 I have one of these, and they are high quality. Support from TP-Link is great as well as this is considered a business, not consumer, product. They normally run about $140. Best feature IMO is they pass vlan tags.
