Be careful when buying anything TP-Link when it comes to routers, they tend release a handful of firmware updates at the most, then make a new hardware revision and drop support for the older hardware revision(s). Not saying Asus is perfect here, far from it, as you need to check which models...

Installed on an RT-AX68U used as a wireless AP, seems to be working as intended.

I wouldn't know, I don't own this router. I'm just a hardware guy that used to work for a router maker at one point in time. On the topic of the Synaptics chip, there's now an entire SBC in RPi form factor with the same chip as in the Asus router, for those that don't want the hardware built...

I'd suggest trying WireGuard, there's a simple "Access Intranet" switch option in the settings for it that allows you to access your local network devices and it's also a lot faster than OpenVPN. That said, you are aware that your devices that you connect to your router end up on a different...

Considering the device have two separate flash chips, the router firmware isn't going to affect the Synaptics based part of the device, but technically if the update of the base software that runs on that half of the router goes wrong, you'd most likely lose your containers and everything on...

For those that are interested in some more details about the secondary SoC, CNX Software has some details on a SoM with the same SoC. It seems like Synaptics is stuck on Linux Kernel 5.15, which isn't great, but it's at least an LTS kernel, for another year, but 5.15 was released 2021... Based...

I have a symmetrical 1 Gbps connection and I hit 950 Mbps on my Pixel 9 Pro, but it obviously varies a bit and it depends on how close you are to the router and which channels you're using. I use channel 100 for the 5 GHz band, since 1 W transmit power is allowed and I have no neighbours...

Nope, no issues.

GT-AX6000, no issues as always.

I guess this could've been one reason why Asus picked them, allows them to point developers to Synaptics instead of having to deal with it themselves.

The A73 isn't known to be power efficient though, albeit not as bad as the A57 or A72, but something like the A76 would've been a much better choice from a power perspective. Price per chip rarely relates to the cores used and Synaptics isn't what I'd call an affordable option when it comes to...

That is a really odd choice of SoC and it seems like they picked something that is quite old core wise and that has a ton of features that aren't even being used. Either they must've gotten a really good deal on those chips, or they had a bunch of them laying around from some other product that...

Seems to work as intended, GT-AX6000.

One MTK one is a TUF model that looks very different to the ROG model with Broadcom hardware.
