There's like billions of the G3s for sale on ebay for ≤$100. Looks like they run Win11?

I fully agree its not a new idea, but mini-PCs running Windows and MacOS have made it more affordable in recent years. My ASUSTOR NAS had excellent drive monitoring and data integrity checking, so I would have stuck with it if the software were sufficiently robust. It actually did most things...

A good, logical article on the topic. A sense of the absurdness similar to what some of you posted in this thread. https://www.theverge.com/tech/899906/fcc-router-ban-march-2026-explainer

That's what I'll be doing if Apple RAID 10 turns out to be unreliable.

My impression is there is no immediate impact to consumers, but the future ramifications seem substantial to consumers and industry. It would take a least one year, if not two years for a company to build US infrastructure and manufacture routers in the US. I suppose the approach would be for...

Yeah, I'm hoping for good data reliability too. My setup is MacOS-based because that's what I use and like for my work and personal activities. The only dodgy thing I did for my MacOS NAS was utilize Apple's RAID option to setup a RAID10 config (which is what I had with my ASUSTOR NAS). I...

When considering a NAS purchase, I suggest considering a mini-PC based NAS running your favorite desktop computer OS. The price of a quality mini-PC and other required HW is on par with mid-range NAS boxes, but mini-PC hardware specs will blow away pretty much any retail NAS box. The other...

I'm surprised there isn't already a post on this announcement. Seems like a big deal for US consumers and the industry. https://www.pcmag.com/news/fcc-just-banned-the-sale-of-new-wi-router-models-made-outside-us

A Linux version has been added.

Installed and running without issue on my AX86U Pro and GT-AX6000 main/AP combos this weekend. One unusual thing that happened was that after installing it on my AX86U Pro main router and rebooting, CPU3 or CPU4 went into heavy usage for about 1-2 minutes, and during this period the router...

How does ASUS come up with these marketing schemes? Its one thing to brand a router as ProArt, but to build a router control GUI around it seems like a lot of extra effort for probably minimal increase in market share. Great to have another 2.5 gbps switch on the market though. Hopefully a...

I thought I had disabled all TM-dependent features, but looking back at the settings, I think Traffic Analyzer was still enabled at the time I withdrew from the TM agreement. Besides Traffic Analyzer, I have only ever used Parental Controls, Web History, and ASUS DDNS. ASUS DDNS continues to...

Yup.

You hit it the nail on the head. I had all Trend Micro features turned off, but I had not withdrawn. After I withdrew from the agreement, the speedtest result on my PC shot up to 2 gbps on the DL. ugh. Kinda interesting that a built-in feature prevents another built-in feature on the router...

That's outside of what I'm willing to do, especially considering that I've never had any complex configs on this router. I'm willing to "suffer" with 1 gbps internet DL speeds. If this is a real issue with the LAN port performance, I figure that other people will report it as well. The...

I've tried different cables. I should have mentioned that in my first post in this thread.

I plugged the PC directly into the modem, and after a modem reboot to get the modem talking directly to the PC, the PC got 1850 mbps down on SpeedTest app, so the router is definitely the issue for me. To answer the question about router config - its pretty basic. No Trend Micro. One guest...

I have yet not plugged my LAN PC directly into my cable modem. There was no time for that today. I'll try to do that in the morning. Sorry for not fully describing the topology. The router 2.5g LAN port is normally plugged into a Netgear multigig managed switch that creates the hub of my...

Dredging up this thread. My GT-AX6000 2.5g LAN port is acting like its in 1g mode despite the router log showing it in 2.5g mode. When I run the router WAN speed test, I get 2 gbps DL speeds, but when I run speed test from the Speedtest.net app on my computer with it directly attached to the...

I'll add to the fray - Up until about a year ago, my ISP (Comcast) only provided highly symmetric bandwidth options in my area. When running without any QOS, I never once experienced an issue with constrained outbound bandwidth despite my wife and I both working from home, running a bit torrent...
