    Can I Use Both AiMesh (Wired) and VLAN?

    No, it doesn't. And the (old/orig) RT-AC88U is EOL today. https://www.asus.com/event/network/EOL-product/ AC class routers have become extinct (at least where performance is concerned) a long time ago now). Here's an example of a top-performing AC class router vs. an entry-level AX class...

    Automatically rest ethX port to regain 1GB speed

    Try an electrical reset on the entire network. This may fix your issue.

    Can I Use Both AiMesh (Wired) and VLAN?

    I hope you mean RT-AX88U Pro.

    Release ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_51685 (2024/04/15)

    Do you have the node in the same room as the router? Do you have WPS enabled? When was the last time you did a full reset of the main router (or at least, an electrical reset)?

    Announcement: 3006 progress report - it's a go

    From experience, the 4 LAN port option is more than likely the superior (i.e. more stable) option.

    Announcement: 3006 progress report - it's a go

    No, they haven't shared that yet, in full.

    Added an AP, now entire network speed is very slow

    What speeds do you get when you power down the AP? What other changes to your network configuration did you make (i.e. with regards to switches, cables, etc.)?

    ZenWiFi XD5 - Firmware

    Selling anything with modified RMerlin firmware isn't legit to begin with. I wouldn't purchase from there.

    How to distribute ethernet connections

    Switching, via the router's built-in switch or an external, is minimally taxing on a router (the switching is happening at hardware speeds, not software). Indicate what devices each switch will host. Do devices need to connect to other devices over LAN (and, over separate switches)? The...

    Is safe to setup "Alert preference"?

    Why do you need the alert? Giving your information away (involuntarily) or voluntarily is always a risk. Regardless of encrypted, clear text, or any other 'guarantees' you may be sold, nobody can ensure your data remains secure. Decide to share less, not more. Not every convenience is worth...

    How to distribute ethernet connections

    Depends on how the network is used. Usually, using all the router's Ethernet ports is superior, with switches connected to each giving each 'leg' a direct connection to the internet, without interfering with other 'legs' doing internal LAN transfers, for example. What is connected to each...

    No 5Ghz with my Asus PCE-AXE59 adapter

    Are you using a single SSID (aka 'smartconnect')?

    Tutorial Distributel (Bell) PPPoE passthrough/bridge without SFP, using Nokia ONT

    Welcome to the forums @pcoude. That old(er) Linksys router more than likely doesn't have the hardware to give you a measured 1Gbps down/up speed. What does an AC-powered, GbE Ethernet-wired, device show when plugged into the Linksys? Also, what does a WiFi AX class network adaptor used within...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.7 is now available

    Yes, that's exactly what it is. Cache will be flushed if RAM is needed.

    TP-Link Archer High Vulnerability

    Any examples you can provide?

    TP-Link Archer High Vulnerability

    Yes, that they were current wasn't the point. The point is that only when others bring the vulnerabilities to light, do they get fixed/patched. There is no manufacturer that does so, on their own accord. Sadly.

    RT-AX56U EOL question.

    Yes, for quite a while now.

    TP-Link Archer High Vulnerability

    ChromeOS is a hack of an OS, but that's another story. And while you can respectfully disagree, it doesn't change the facts. https://www.tomsguide.com/news/billions-at-risk-from-google-chrome-security-flaw-update-your-browser-right-now...

    RAID 5 vs RAID 6 ??

    If you're actually editing a video, it isn't a 99.99% read process. Your sources don't sound reliable.
