    Microsoft to block access to routers with USB storage in Windows 11 24H2

    "Pyle says that this change in Windows 11 24H2 will secure over a billion devices as it will force NAS and router makers to update unpatched devices." That just won't happen and they know it. NAS and router makers will use this to get more new sales and it helps push win11. What everyone...

    ASUS ExpertWiFi EBG15

    Yes as I have no issues with companies headquartered in Taiwan. Waiting for tuf-ax4200 or tuf-ax6000 to go on sale to flash with openwrt. Not because I don't trust asus but because I want vlans.

    ASUS ExpertWiFi EBG15

    I never said "The CCP controls them." I said "follows CCP laws" which would be for design, firmware, software, updates, patches, etc. Lots of businesses and home users don't want that. Personally I would use GL.iNet devices flashed with vanilla opewrt and replaced uboot. Tplink out of the...

    Does Cisco make a $159 fanless 120W power budget, 9 port gigabit PoE router that has a three year warranty? No. "Your personal believes" does not change the fact that TPlink is headquartered in mainland china and follows CCP laws.

    There are no "buts." If a business or home user cares about security, they don't want mainland Chinese gear which follows CCP laws. Like I said before, nothing out there compares to the EBG19P. If it launches in the US at $159, it will be a crazy good deal for what you get.

    Your TPlink gear won't fly with being headquartered in China and under CCP surveillance laws. IOTS from China is bad enough, but a router/firewall with software you don't control? Insane.

    https://www.digitalcitizen.life/asus-expertwifi-ebg19p-review/ ebg19p - $159 USD. Way better value proposition. Very few, if any, 9 port routers for this price that feature 15W PoE/port + fanless. Same SoC as the ebg15.

    Not true. You can access "Professional" settings. You would buy the EBG19P which has 8 PoE ports.

    https://www.snbforums.com/threads/asus-expertwifi-ebg15.89511/ Fully compatible; however, 3.0.0.6 aimesh nodes required for vlans.

    ASUS ExpertWiFi EBG15

    I ended up returning the EBG15 router. Last firmware update made it run hot, I don't think wireless traffic monitoring will ever work, you can *not* turn off the main wireless SSID (single SSID), and this was a little too much for such old hardware. I would not expect load balancing to work...

    A Dummy Wants to Watch Security Cam Video on his PC

    Agreed; however, that is a DVR with analog BNC and not an NVR.
