    Would like to see more routers with 8+ ports

    Hopefully, Asus is announcing a Pro version of the RT-BE88U that supports the 6GHz band at this year's Computex next month. Now this would make a great candidate for proper Merlin support.

    Skynet received a whitelist update earlier this week and now Diversion won't update its blocklist. It hangs when trying to update the shared whitelist.

    Difficulties maintaining 160 MHz channel bandwidth

    Does this switch actually do anything? No matter how I set the channel bandwidth it always chooses the frequency the client wants to connect at. I thought setting this to 160MHz would only allow devices that support 160MHz to connect. But that is not the case, I still have devices connecting...

    ASUS Announces RT-AX86U and RT-AX82U

    A couple more WiFi 6 routers from ASUS. Considering that WiFi 6E needs new hardware it seems strange that they release this many WiFi 6 routers when WiFi 6E is just around the corner.

    Asus RT-AX89X review

    Tweaktown posted it's review of the RT-AX89X. This router has some nice features like dual 10Gbe ports and two Qualcomm QCN5054 WiFi radios for separate WiFi5/6 and 2.4GHz band. But bottom line for me I wouldn't spend $450 on this router with WiFi6E just around the corner and most importantly no...

    DoT and DNSSEC on 384.12

    I'm not sure if my router is configured correctly and if DoT and DNSSEC implementation is working. I did some checking today if Stubby is working and if all DNS requests are secured. First thing I found was that not all traffic is going through port 853. I did a tcpdump of port 53 and port 853...
