    Asus AX89X + ZenWiFi XT8 + Ethernet backhaul => Unencrypted network!

    Im a bit late to the party on this one however, i just commented on another post outlining this exact same security concern. Im running AX89X and x2 XT8s in Aimesh only to discover 5G_2_dwb channel is wide Open!!! not even MAC based ACL allow/deny can stop devices connecting!!

    NVME NAS

    Kind of off-topic'esq but what about going all M.2, as-in: Asustor Flashstor 12 Pro FS6712X with 12 M.2 SSD Slots. Plus 10GBe port.. 6x2TB WD Blue SN570's - This can run with 24GB DDR RAM max, tested 64GB, 32GB RAM no joy, but 16+8 (or x2 x8GB) runs fine.. A 2nd 10GbE port would be perfect tbh...

    Should I enable ASUS DoS Protection

    IMHO OFC you should enable it.. Regardless of public facing WAN services running or otherwise. Hackers will still be scanning & looking for weakness even if they are simply probing. It does exactly what it say's on the tin... it stops/slows down attacks. AiProtect also does a fine job, 2-way...

    Its not a port its a service Internet Control Message Proto. If you enable any sort of port/service you are potentially allowing a bad actor to gain a foothold into your network/device. The whole idea is to minimise attack vectors/surfaces not increase.. IP packets can be malformed in order to...
