well, I tried /48 again (google is forcing recaptcha on my /64) and it still doesn't work. No idea why. Same exact settings, just the prefix change, and yet /64 works but /48 doesn't. Maybe the router too weak for /48? it's entry level ax55 but it does have a quad-core CPU... maybe 256gb ram is...

interesting. I've been actually inputting 1 at the end of the prefix, and it worked for /64 forever, but perhaps not for /48

The /48 is to prevent future google bans, google bans tunnelbroker ipv6 for abuse and blocks whole nets, so /64 might get banned with an abuser on a similar subnet. At least that's what HE support said. Can you show me a screenshot of tunnelbroker ipv6 settings without identifiable info? Just...

I've been using tunnelbroker forever to get ipv6 (local ISP hasn't evolved to provide it on its own), and been advised by HE support to switch to /48 prefix instead of usual /64, but for some reason the router fails to acquire IPV6 address when I swap out the /64 prefix for /48 one. Has anyone...

I've tested my RT-AX55, WAN to lan did reach 940mpbs but sustained speed is more like 800mbps. The test was two computers running iperf3 with gigabit ethernet connections to LAN and WAN ports on the router.

It is unlikely that the drives inside WD Elements are running at 7.2k rpm, most likely they are at the normal 5.4k rmp. However, it is likely you got air-filled drives instead of the helium filled ones which causes higher temps. In the past, WD was putting helium filled drives into externals...

Hmm, the router hasn't seen the update yet for some reason. Thanks for hint. I checked the website yesterday and haven't seen it there either.

of course, used Asus instructions.

No usb ports (I actually never use them lol even on routers that had them) and no merlin support :)

that's where you are wrong. 4x4 matters little unless you got clients to use it, or MU-MIMO clients (the latter, as you mentioned, actually doesn't work at all). As for prices- that's highly dependent on local market conditions. I also doubt that everyone gets that same exact router you...

Just discovered in the log that my brand new spanking router crashed, possibly twice. I can't understand why since the previous events in both cases is just a regular wlceventd. Firmware is the latest available on the website (from Feb 1, 2021). Any pointers would be appreciated as I'm afraid...

But it is faster. The point is, Wifi6 is here. No point in spending money on Wifi5 when any Wifi6 will match all the features and offers something more on top of it. Obviously, if all else being equal (streams, price etc).

actually, when "WiFi-6E becomes common and cheap" wifi7 will be in full swing, official and Wifi7E will be soon to be approved... In other words - the race is always on, there's always something better on the horizon, waiting is pointless, so unless you got money to burn on routers every year...

By that time, Wifi7 will arrive lol

Not entirely correct. While it's true that average bitrate will not exceed 100mbps, there are plenty of peaks (fast action sequences and such) when it does. In my experience, I found wifi a lot better for streaming any kind of media to TV compared to wired, and I did try both.
