If you want to stick with prebuilt NAS, look at the QNAP TS-464. It has dual 2.5 Gbps, and QNAP tends to provide fairly lenghty support on their products. I also have a number of QNAP NAS deployed for my customers that have been deployed for 8+ years, with so far just a single NAS failure (it...

Same issue also exists in Asus' latest firmware for the RT-AX86U_PRO - the function is missing from that version of the page. Probably affects all the Wifi 6 devices on 3006. EDIT: also seems to be missing for Wifi 7, including in the 39848 GPL that was used by the RT-BE92U. but that field is...

No. It just means it's the same CPU. The rest of the hardware is difference, hence they have separate DTS files, and also require separate firmwares.

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...
