    Advise for new purchase of newer model ASUS router that gets Merlin Firmware for 3 bedroom appartment?

    There is no need to be rude. That behavior is not tolerated in these forums and will result in a temporary ban.

    What's your experience: Does your mesh system keep working if the WAN goes down?

    @Tech9 This isn't research. It's the reality in test labs. @sfx2000 A NUC wouldn't help unless it emulated whatever server was required for operation. At any rate, I think I'm ok as long as the mesh stays function when the WAN goes down. I would think this would be a functional requirement...

    @aex.perez Thanks for the info. I assume from your sig that you have an ASUS AiMesh setup. I'd expect that it would stay up since app/internet based management for ASUS is not the norm.

    I know this is an odd question, since what good is an Internet router without internet, right? But in my work as a Wi-Fi test engineer, we put these systems in RF-tight chambers and typically don't have an internet connection available. I know the eero Pro will continue to operate without an...

    Malware damaging ASUS routers?

    @Tech9 , @iFrogMac You two will need to agree to disagree. I suggest you spend some time ignoring each other for awhile.

    Colder is not better?? Cooling a CPU on a WiFi router.

    @KGB7 No need for personal attacks.
