    ASUS App Android? Secure???

    Is it safe to use he ASUS Android App? I mean by safe, does it open up ports so elevates security risk? I want to be able to acess my router remotely and am currently doning so using Remore Desktop and TailSscale but the ASUS app itself wont work with TailScale on a phone. Thus considering...

    1.5Gb fiber connection with 3 mesh nodes. Clients getting ~500Mbps. Setting or nature of AIMesh?

    Also try the AUS Speed Test. It is from the router though. See if you test at 1.5G. This rules out the gateway.

    1.5Gb fiber connection with 3 mesh nodes. Clients getting ~500Mbps. Setting or nature of AIMesh?

    I have AT&T fiber 1G but it tests at 1.3G. With XT9's I can get 800-900 mbs on 5Ghz WIFI from a node with a years old Samsung Note 8. I use wirless backhaul (2nd 5Ghz channel).

    XT9 Node Losing Connection Suddenly

    Hi Ozark I was unable to decpher. What I think triggered the mesh issues is I unbound devices to specific nodes. After rebinding devices I have not see the problem again.

    Reflexive ACL.

    I set up AT&T fiber and put their gateway on IP passthrough. Turned off all firewall settings and opted to use the ASUS ones. One firewall setting on the gateway that I did not turn off as I was uncertain if I should is Reflexive ACL. Per AT&T: Reflexive ACL: When IPv6 is enabled, you can...

    Anyway to use the ASUS App with TailScale?

    I am able to make it use TailScale to do a remote desktop into Windows to access my router controls. I want to be able to do the same using my phone but with TailScale not the way Asus suggests via a port. BTW I have other apps such as for BlueIris that allows me to use TailScale. But in the...

    What to do?

    Thanks all. Again the qustion is not on product selection. I will for sure consider your views on that. But please respond to: Mixing RT-AXE7800 triband with 2 XT9 7800 triband as a mesh system I am thiking of adding an ASUS RT-AXE which is 6E to the ASUS XT9's which are 6. Will this play...

    What to do?

    Its prob overkill for location 2. But for location 1, either would be beneficial. They seem similar spec (to a layperson like me) but is the 6E worth it? Will the antennas be beneficial over internal antennas when used at location 2? Will a 6R router play well with the XT9s where are WIFI 6 only...

    What to do?

    I have 2 locations. One is currently using T Mobile Home Internet with the ASUS XT9 AX7800 (2 node mesh). The other location has “fibre 2000M” but a TP Link AC 1750 router. So I need a new router. Would you recommend getting a single XT9 or the ASUS RT-AXE7800 Tri-band WiFi 6E? Sooner or later I...
