PC getting 1mbs connected directly to router on 100mbs line
No such issues like this are generally reported on the forums here. You must be running a very old version of Windows if an article from 2014 is relevant to your setup. -
External antennas on the likes of AC86U, is that the magic for range?
No, you're assuming it's more safe. I won't give you more examples (millions of them exist), but the point is that people have written articles and whole books about how unsafe IoTs are. Search is your friend. No matter what you do within your network, if you allow IoT devices Internet...- L&LD

They implement anything they want. I just don't support what I can't control. More safely than what? All IoTs are insecure. https://arstechnica.com/cars/2024/05/teslas-can-still-be-stolen-with-a-cheap-radio-hack-despite-new-keyless-tech/ Don't believe the false marketing, or get lazy with...- L&LD

Radio engineers: Why doesn't the AX88U Pro's antenna array outperform the AX86U Pro's?
Yes, there are better antennae and worse antennae, but unless you are building your own RF design, that is not important. What is important is the RF design/hardware you can get/buy in total. And Asus is above average there.- L&LD

ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 offer
Do all cable runs end back to the garage? Do you have multiple Ethernet runs to a central location in your home? If so, plug the ONT to one run (not on a switch) and connect to the GT-AX6000s WAN as main router. Plug into another Ethernet run via the LAN and connect to a switch (in the...- L&LD

asus rt-ac68u disconnecting from internet issues firmware 386.3_2
That's not their intended purpose. If it was, they would just work. While keeping the data secure. They're there for marketing purposes. Buyer beware. What you see is what you get, not what you wish it to be. Looked at another way, just because something seems/is possible, doesn't mean it...- L&LD

You are talking to yourself. The few customers I have who insist on having IoT devices are always having issues, because of those insecure toys. The rest of my customers have a network that they don't have to think about because it just works. I only offer help for the latter group, when...- L&LD

ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 offer
No crappy antennae. Yes, they are adjustable. Not so big, but may be bigger than you expect. DO NOT LOAD CONFIG FILES BETWEEN MODELS. Use it as the main router. You may find you do not need an AP. Test using it as an AP, first. After your tests, see what works best for you in your...- L&LD

How long will be firmware updates available for RT-AX88U (Pro)
You're using the RT-AX87U well past it's prime (over three years past it's prime, today). The last firmware from Asus for it was in 2021. No guarantees that any router will have a long support cycle today, and most likely, none will (the RT-AC68U will probably be the last exception). The...- L&LD

Radio engineers: Why doesn't the AX88U Pro's antenna array outperform the AX86U Pro's?
Unless you found a review comparing the two models in identical environment, with identical client devices, and also tested back-to-back, you have not seen any speed/distance comparisons worth using. The GT-AX6000 is superior to the RT-AX86U (orig), The RT-AX88U Pro is superior to the...- L&LD

Release ASUS GT-AX6000 Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_34791
Give us some more information to work with. What do you have connected via USB? What features and options do you have enabled? Have you tried unplugging everything from the router, reboot (pull the power plug, wait a minute, then plug it in), waiting 10 minutes to allow the router to...- L&LD
