    An investigation of tracking on IOS: https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/how-iphone-apps-track-you/ “Overall, our observations suggest that, while Apple’s changes make tracking individual users more difficult, they motivate a counter-movement, and reinforce existing market power of...

    Blocking the Google signin popup?

    Becuase Android is more secure? LOL They all suck, they are all compromised, they all spy on everyone all the time. Which is why I don’t use my phone for anything that requires security, as I said above.

    Blocking the Google signin popup?

    That depends on how much you trust Apple. New IOS versions enhance Apple's monitoring and tracking capability. You think all those updates are for your benefit? LOL I don’t do anything that requires security on mobile platforms. That's all done on a fortified PC harware and software firewalls...

    How far away is the barn, and what is its construction? I'm running high-gain directional antennas on a pair of RT68s to connect building 150’ apart with 200Mbps / -52dBm on 5GHz. No mesh, set up as router and repeater.

    Opinions to expand my coverage

    I was going to suggest trying high-gain antennas but it looks like you can't replace them on that router. I have had very good results with them.

    The most cost-effective way to improve my WiFi set up?

    I’m surprised that nobody has mentioned high-gain antennas. I've used these to connect routers 200’ apart in a failry congested are at 400 mbps. This is a very effective and inexpensive upgrade if your router has replaceble antennas.

    ASUS failed; [update - replaced]

    Have you tested line voltage? High voltage burns out electronic equipment. Are you using a surge protector? I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of warranty service from Asus. Filled out an online form, sent off the unit, got email updates and new replacement unit in short order.

    Can i use RT-AC68U as a first router in a mesh system with Zenwifi XT8 routers as nodes without performance losses?

    It looks like there are a whole lot of unnecessary switches in that diagram.
