The GT-BE98-PRO Merlin Review

@SomeWhereOverTheRainBow
Was the acquisition of the 98 Pro an upgrade, if so from which router?

it was/ is an upgrade. Here has been my upgrade pattern RT-AX88U>RT-AX88U-PRO>GT-BE98-PRO, but I also have a GTAX11000. I even purchased a generic rog cabling - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DQ8SF87V?tag=snbforums-20

It's either "generic" (i.e. not branded) or it's "rog" (i.e. Asus branded). It can't be both.

When I read "rog cabling" I thought WTF light up cable for their router? Pleased I was incorrect.
Congratulations on your router upgrade!

Ubiquiti already went there Transparent Ethernet cables, with an Unifi switch that has configurable RGB. The idea is to be able to colour code ports (for VLANs, for example). Because using different coloured Ethernet cables would be too simple I guess.

configurable RGB

This is a big hype. Folks spend thousands on total overkill Pro Max and Enterprise switches just to get the Etherlighting. I personally don't get it and on a home network: 1) this type of switch is most likely not needed; 2) my first configuration step will be to turn it off.
