    Blocking DuckDuckGo.com on TUF AX6000

    As I told you in another thread - this TUF Gaming home router is not a good fit for business network. Anyone with public VPN account for $3/month (or even own home VPN server) will drill through your filters easily and some with a bit more knowledge will do it in a way you won't notice the...

    AI Mesh node setup without cable?

    Sorry, can't help you much. Last time I checked Asuswrt-Merlin firmware still had issues with wireless node discovery. Unfortunately, AiMesh is closed source and what causes the issue is unknown. Attempts to fix it were made even on Asus side. You have better chances with the same code base...

    Your son's aggressive response was a result of your own "scared of unknown" (IoT world) behavior. Your ongoing device restriction ideas pointed towards your son in particular will only fuel the issue you already have. You share the network peacefully or you don't. Time to make a final decision...

    ASUS Unveils RT-BE88U WiFi 7 Dual-Band Router

    ASUS Unveils RT-BE88U WiFi 7 Dual-Band Router

    I'm surprised you get over 280MBps on 2.5GbE connection with real throughput a bit over 2.3Gbps.

    Ah, the IoT war with your son... I remember the dangerous Dyson air purifier! You need some diplomatic solution. What about your ISP router with Wi-Fi enabled for your son and your Asus router behind it? This way your son will have "own network" with no access to yours. Whatever he attaches to...

    APIPA start range

    This is the specific IP range of non routable to Internet addresses designated for this specific purpose of self assigning an IP with no DHCP available.

    New device to expand wifi

Some routers have Access Point mode in firmware, many others can be converted with DHCP disabled and LAN port connection to the Router. Most...
