    Aquantia AQC10x firmware update

    And that's why I'm using this as my main 10Gbe adapter these days and keeping the the QNAP one in reserve. https://www.sonnettech.com/product/solo10g-sfp-tb3/overview.html

    Asus Ax89X WireGuard

    Well technically they stopped accepting new applications a few months ago, but fortunately, existing customers are still getting service till we decide to terminate the subscription. Grateful for that...

    Aquantia AQC10x firmware update

    The problem is, the QNAP adapter's included instructions direct users to the Aquantia/Marvell website to update the AQC-107 drivers. And that's why I did it. When I asked their tech support about it, they were equally puzzled why this would brick the adapter. Had to RMA it in the end to get it...

    Aquantia AQC10x firmware update

    Yes well the QNAP adapter uses the 10G AQC-107 chip too, I downloaded the latest driver on the Marvell website and bricked the adapter. https://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?t=146360

    Asus Ax89X WireGuard

    Signed up with them over a year ago and yes, it's quite refreshing to have the internet connection direct to your router. with no modem in between. They're still the only ISP with an active Optical Network service for consumers here as opposed to the more commonly offered 10 Gbps XGS-PON...

    News OpenWRT 22.03 Released

    This helped put things in perspective. I'd assumed it was just a QNAP thing given their reputation for releasing devices that had great hardware let down by software still in the beta stage, based on posts I'd seen on the forum. As for the the IEI device, it seems that the developers (OpenWRT...

    News OpenWRT 22.03 Released

    So, I managed to get In touch with the OpenWRT developer working on device support for the IEI Puzzle-M902 and...good thing I decided to do more research before pulling the trigger. Turns out the company (IEI aka QNAP's parent) never actually tried OpenWRT and used Marvell's proprietary driver...

    High performance tested routers

    Ah I didn't know there was a budget limit. Well, I'm on the IQRouter Pro thread and someone recommended me these more affordable options with 2.5G ports. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09PHHXN9V/?tag=snbforums-20

    High performance tested routers

    Draytek Vigor3910 seems like a good choice IMHO. I'm considering it as well. It's available on Newegg and Amazon. https://www.techradar.com/reviews/draytek-vigor3910

    It's teaser-time. Because why not.

    Thanks. I emailed feedback to Asus complaining that the older RT-AX89X could handle AiProtection turned on and still give me close to 10Gbps wired speeds while the newer AXE16000 couldn't. Hence I returned both AXE16000s. They in turn escalated the issue to the development team and told me...

    IQRouter Pro

    The ISP-provided SFP+ transceiver goes to an RT-AX89X which is linked to a pair of GT-AXE11000s (2.5G wired backhaul) via a Zyxel 10Gbe switch.

    IQRouter Pro

    Oh do you know if there are 10Gbe port options out there as well? I've 10Gbps fiber broadband so looking to optimize in that aspect.

    IQRouter Pro

    Nice! I'll go take a look, much cheaper than the QNAP option too.

    IQRouter Pro

    Found something which fit the bill regarding multi gig ports. https://openwrt.org/toh/iei/puzzle-m902 It hit the market in 4Q21 and is from QNAP's parent company IEI. It's only sold on QNAP Taiwan or QNAP Hong Kong's website though and delivers locally. Interestingly, QNAP is also...

    IQRouter Pro

    After my recent disappointing experience with the GT-AXE16000 and failure to find any viable consumer-grade all-in-one alternatives, I'm leaning towards the 'wired router with AP' route. Like L&LD said though, I'm looking for a multi gig ethernet port wired solution to go with my GT-AXE11000s...

    If you're using an AMD PC, USB4 ports will work for the 10Gbe ethernet adapters too.

    News WiFi 7 by 2024 for Intel equipped laptops.

    I've been using Thunderbolt 3 10Gbe ethernet adapters (backward compatible) in place PCI-E network cards/adapters. There're also a number of them for 2.5Gbe and 5Gbe from Sabrent, Plugable, QNAP, Caldigit, OWC etc. Only the 10Gbe adapters require a Thunderbolt 3 port on your PC to work. The rest...
