Here's Broadcom BCM6719: https://www.broadcom.com/products/wireless/wireless-lan-infrastructure/bcm6719 And the BCM6718 (for the 6 GHz band): https://www.broadcom.com/products/wireless/wireless-lan-infrastructure/bcm6718

Possibly because they are headquartered in the US. Tho unless that has changed, all their firmware development is outsourced (it used to be handled by Foxconn, at least in part).

WISP as a failover? I doubt it. Sounds like a really niche feature since I can't think of anyone who would have such a setup, unless they were stealing Internet access from a neighbour :)

Just make sure the app does not try to overwrite it. If someone tried to edit the password in his config file (for instance if he lost his password), the written password would probably lack encryption, and therefore not work.

For the price, this is a really interesting device. Asus might primarily market it as a travel router, however discussions we've had (which led to me supporting it in the end) indicate that they see it as a much broader product than a mere "travel router". I think it might be a really nice way...

Also, some nvram values such as the webui password are now encrypted - unsure how such an application might handle that.

Still odd that it's not listed on their official EOL website.

It's on the download site:

Some routers have dual 10 Gbps Ethernet ports, so you can definitely go higher than this.

I suspect that there is a software issue which can cause the CPU to stall/crash. In many cases this results in the log reporting "CPU stall" and the RTC getting reverted to 1918. That specific issue seems to be almost resolved in 102_39848 - it was fully resolved for me at least, I believe one...

The RT-BE92U wifi isn't fully offloaded to a separate SoC like on the higher-end models. The higher-end wifi SoC have their own dedicated CPU, which runs the dongle firmware on it (the "dhd"). So higher CPU usage during intensive wifi usage does not really surprise me for those bcm675x models.

"Puffery" is where advertisers are allowed to make outlandish claims, such as "The number one brand in the country", or "Red Bull gives you wings". You can achieve that by having two routers connected together in a mesh/repeater setup. I remember back when I didn't have a Wifi 7 client to test...

Odd, since they didn't list it on their official EOL site: https://www.asus.com/event/network/EOL-product/ They were a bit late, since that product launched back in 2021.

There's nothing "virtual" about it. They simply no longer define wifi as being one main + four guest networks. Now, everything is just "a network", and you can define multiple networks (up to a certain number varying by model), with each network having its own separate settings. That's the...

As written in your own quoted change: ...minor CVE... None of these are critical. Same with a few additionnal CVEs that I will soon patch once I merge the PR for them.
