What are your thoughts on the new AI router GT-BE19000AI?

[jaderaso]

Yeah, after I read your post I disabled AI protection. I had the same issue as you described.
The guide is good for all the AI Board stuff.

This guide might help.

Once those apps are installed and you factory reset the router, do you have to go through the entire set-up process again for those apps? Seems kind of annoying if so.

No, the factory reset only affects the router. The AI board has a seperate reset option from the web AI portal page

One of my favorites Docker images that I would suggest for your routers - I run it on my Proxmox server:

Website change detection, monitoring, alerts, notifications, restock alerts | changedetection.io

Best and simplest way to monitor websites for changes, change detection, website checker, webpage change monitoring and webpage change detection tool - with alerts and notifications!

changedetection.io

You can have it monitor various website pages, and receive an email notification when that page changes. I use it to monitor download/changelog pages for my motherboard BIOS, eMclient, firmwares for my AV receiver, etc...

You could have it monitor Asuswrt-Merlin's frontpage, telling it to monitor the table where I list the latest firmware versions, if you are using my firmware. Or Asus' own support page for their firmware download.

It's available as a Docker image, you can install it as a Composer stack.

No, it has its own firmware. I just reset the router and the apps were installed. No need to reinstall them. I didn’t follow the guide so yesterday I reset the AI Board firmware, it took a while but I was able to reset it and follow the guide to install the app once again.

Yes, this I have already enabled and using it. I do have adguard account too. But this is not causing any slow down. Only the AI protection which I have it disabled in the attached snapshot. This was working just fine in my older BE98Pro.

The worst for me was that the Adblock was blocking YouTube, some websites and Netflix from loading contents. They were all blank. I had the 98 Pro and didn’t have any issues.

Question: I set up AdGuard home and plugged it in the DNS server 1 under LAN > DHCP Server, per the set-up instructions. Opening up AdGuard, I do see the DNS Queries log working properly but I saw this message upon the set up page. Do I need to do anything else?

 

[Lax]

Yes, that’s all you need to do. However, if you have AdGuard license then you can set up your account.
I never saw this warning?
Are you using the ASUS default IP address: 192.168.50.1?
I’m using 192.168.1.1

Yes I’m using the default ASUS ip address. Any benefits from AdGuard free vs paid besides parental control? Are paid servers “faster?”

 

[Tech9]

Unless the included AdGuard Home is something different than AdGuard Home we already know - you don't need any accounts.

We live in a world where people are also spending $3000 on a gaming GPU that they will most likely replace within the next 5 years.

We live in a world where nVidia is a 5 trillion USD company selling AI/Graphics Processors that will be obsolete in 2 years (or less)... And those AI data centers have zero value beyond AI, as general purpose cloud, HPC workloads, and Crypto have very little use for 4 and 8 bit floating point performance... Fools, I say, are easily split aware from their money...

It will be interesting when it all fails the "emperor has no clothes" test.

Short term return on investment, as has been the norm for large businesses for these past few decades. Except now they are handling billion of dollars in deals, instead of just millions. They will build new datacenters and associated nuclear reactors to power them. What will happen with these 10 years from now once either the bubble will have burst, or we will be using something more efficient than the current GPUs to handle LLM training? Does any of these large players ever expressed any kind of long term plans beyond the next 3 years?

Recently I heard someone talking about how he expects the used market to get flooded with tons of cheap, used H100/H200 because these large corporations will have moved to newer products that provide more density or better power usage. You and I will be able to buy one or two of these for pennies to host our own personal LLMs by then. Unless most of it heads to a landfill, which would be completely insane considering the amount.

Nadela was also mentioning last week how there might be tons of unused GPUs at Microsoft that are sitting on shelves due to lack of datacenter space to deploy them.

We are also starting to see industry shortages of memory chips. Datacenters facing 12-18 months wait times to get the necessary storage to plug into those new instances. Considering how widely used flash storage has become (even our watches now have flash storage), this is going to impact everyone, not just gamers.

The Web 2.0 bubble collapse will be nothing compared to what will hit us in a couple of years. And it has me truly worried.

Yes. I have completed steps 4 and 4.1 though.

Have you tried the 2.4ghz perfomance yet?
The 5ghz is one of the best I’ve ever seen. The signal is really strong.
The only 6ghz device I have is my gaming computer that’s in the same room as the router, so I don’t have how to test just yet.
But I’m getting very bad 2.4ghz reception far from the router. I was only using YouTube on my phone and suddenly it stopped working. When I did speed test it was abysmal.

I have not as I have the 2.4 band disabled. Only 5 and 6 GHz active - and both work great!

Set your 2,4GHz channel width to 20/40 MHz manually. That will give you a little extra distance. With a wifi scanning app, ( you can use apple airport utility, change setting to allow wifi scan) what is the RSSI of the router signal as measured by the phone ? Depending on what firmware is running on the router, you may be able to see the client device RSSI. It is likely the culprit as the radios are generally at lower power settings that you are not able to adjust.
