So updating my home network, finally got a cat7 cable run from downstairs to upstairs for my backhaul instead of relying on wireless like I was using on my Aimesh set up, question now I have is best use of the routers 2.5gbe port. In my old set up, Asus Aimesh based, I had the 2.5gbe as my wan...

I wish they would allow it... I used to have a RPi4 running openwrt as the router and wireless APs lol.

I don't have any ethernet cables for the APs, Aimesh is via wireless backhaul currently.. Rented house, even decorating is a lengthy process to get accepted let alone running cables about the place lol

I'm not bothered by pretty, it's the other half moaning the GT is big and ugly, to the point it's been shoved into a cupboard lol I'm not fussed about Google privacy either, I don't do anything online I need to hide, phones track us every thought we have anyway, I'm sure now I've typed Google...

UK customers only. My Asus GT-AX11000 router, and 2 black XT8 routers I ran as Aimesh nodes, all still in factory warranty period. Don't have the boxes though, life's too short to keep packaging! Lol. Will post via courier well packaged up. £400

What would you do? Stick with Asus set up, go Synology or Google wifi pro? Being in the UK we can only get Virgin 1Gb/100mb connection anyway and it's unlikely to change in the next 5 years at least...

Hello everyone, sorry for another post asking for advice on which router to buy, I've read lots of things but in reality it's all a bit beyond my knowledge level.. Current set up is Asus Aimesh, GT-AX11000 as router and 2 XT8 as nodes. Looking to replace it and was going to get 2 Synology...

Thanks very much @RMerlin 🙏

Just seen the 388 firmware update say it's available on my router...

It's on the website now, and there's a version for V1 or V2 hardware.

Is it a white or black one? Looked on ebay but couldnt see it

I was just about to post that my 2 XT8s updated to this firmware...

It's all devices wired or wireless, and everything works just has a big delay in responding. I don't have any devices with ethernet, laptop would need a usb3 to ethernet adaptor... Currently the router handles DNS, my ISP supplied but also using 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 I'm gonna try using the...

Not tech savvy and been suffering for the past fortnight with slow internet speeds, its like a 8-10 second delay to load a page despite the router speedtest showing 1100 down 52 upload speed (virgin uk) Tried factory reset on router, no difference. Tried using google dns, no change. Tried...

I guess the gt-ax11000 won't get an official 388 update as I don't see it listed on the Asus page showing the new asuswrt2022 features... However if merlin gives us a 388 update will we get the updated parental features and increased notification support?
