Netgear just made me really appreciate Asus and Merlin
I have an RAXE500 not connected to any account.. During setup you just skip the app setup, there’s an option at the very bottom of the initial setup page. You don’t need to disconnect anything. Now is it the most intuitive way to provide the skip no, but you very well can. Most of the hidden...- avtella

ipad 2022 wifi6 support
I don’t think it does HT160 on 5Ghz. They’re pretty conservative/practical in that regard. Just like HT20 on 2.4 GHz.- avtella

7700X good purchase, also nice that you paired it with DDR 6000, as 3 GHz seems to be the Infinity Fabric sweet spot. If in the states, Microcenter is giving free 32GB CL36 6000 Mhz Ram with 7700/7950X Ryzen CPUs and 5600 MHz for 7600X.- avtella

R7800 Upgrade or Not????
It does HT160 just fine with clients, it also additionally supports 80+80 noncontiguous channel bonding that however was something most clients didn't support if I recall. The QCA 9984 in it was probably the best AC era chipset IMHO.- avtella

WiFi congestion - maybe nothing to be done?
My uncle still has two with DD-WRT in his house...,I think contractors set them up long back alongside the whole home entertainment system, along side some Wifi N Cisco APs.. But yeah, not very common these days.- avtella

To QOS or not to QOS
Depending on the situation it may be useful considering your connection is very asymmetrical, if you are actually saturating the uplink. I was using it on a similar 1.4 Gbps / 35 Mbps Comcast link. I'd actually saturate the upload on occasion causing massive latency spikes when for example...- avtella

NAS Strategy
I would tell the average user asking for help to get a prebuilt and isolate it from the internet. A DIY can actually be better in many instances if you know what you’re doing and get the right hardware (no not a PI) especially compared to these $1k and below consumer NASes, TrueNas/FreeNAS is...- avtella

Slow download in pfsense unless I use a VPN
I misread OPs's post as having low WAN throughput with VPN in which case it would make sense. Having re-read, assuming a peering issue being bypassed when VPN is on, enabling higher speeds. -
Slow download in pfsense unless I use a VPN
Check the hardware acceleration page to ensure the last option is selected "AES-NI & BSD Crypto", I think its disabled by default for compatibility sake unless I'm mistaken, while you're at it on the same page you can enable the power savings option too. Lastly ensure you configured the VPN... -
Breaking Dad's Big Bad Gaming Discussion - For all things to do with PC Gaming !
What sfx2000 said is true about overall value. I mean the extra cache actually can give big gains like 20+% in some in Windows gaming benchmarks I saw for the 5800X3D even if it can’t clock or OC as high as the standard variant, but for productivity and a lot of other stuff the cache I don’t...- avtella

Breaking Dad's Big Bad Gaming Discussion - For all things to do with PC Gaming !
Yeah in RT I think they may be a gen behind Lovelace extrapolating from AMDs own infographics., and FSR is visibly worse than DLSS, though it will probably catch up in time. But I think they are getting back on their feet, and pricing seems competitive for what they offer, assuming realworld...- avtella

Converting a Cisco Ironport C170 to Opnsense router
It will work fine (had one), it’s not that old of a chipset. -
Converting a Cisco Ironport C170 to Opnsense router
I know how to do it in the pfsense GUI (DNS can be set in the "General" page, and resolver options like DNS forwarding mode / TLS options are in the "Resolver "page... page but I believe opnsense maybe different. Heres the instructions for pf, not sure if it's much help: pfSense® software... -
Converting a Cisco Ironport C170 to Opnsense router
Pretty sure I have mine in UEFI, can’t recall if I have secure boot enabled though most likely not. I’d just leave it if since it didn’t let you boot. Even if it did work, switching nics should have no effect, I would think, if the drivers are already in the OS though. -
Converting a Cisco Ironport C170 to Opnsense router
I use the standard 1.1.1.1 but Cloudflare also has a malware blocking DNS variant. Pasted from their site: Malware Blocking Only Primary DNS: 1.1.1.2 Secondary DNS: 1.0.0.2 Malware and Adult Content Primary DNS: 1.1.1.3 Secondary DNS: 1.0.0.3 For IPv6 use: Malware Blocking Only Primary DNS... -
Converting a Cisco Ironport C170 to Opnsense router
Shouldn’t require a reinstall, just install the card and boot up as long as the drivers for it are there within OpnSense. However if the card is not supported you may need to compile its driver in the version of FreeBSD that your OpnSense is based on. Even then just insert the driver and... -
Wifi 6E equipped laptop not detecting Wifi 6E network
Just get drivers from Intel. It’s generally just older standard Intel drivers sitting on vendor (Lenovo, Dell, etc) sites that have been tested/validated to make sure there were no major issues with said version. Other than that it’s nothing special… I also personally would not recommend Vantage...- avtella

Converting a Cisco Ironport C170 to Opnsense router
It’s not just a IP block list not sure which video you used. Also yeah there is no data being analyzed, it’s not like Sensei. The DNSBL part of pfblocker is an additional part aside from IP block lists, it can use your base list to block variants of the given addresses. I also use the TLD... -
Converting a Cisco Ironport C170 to Opnsense router
I’m sorry I didn’t get that if you could rephrase it. I won’t claim to be the most knowledgeable but am trying my best to explain so please bear with me if I’m not being clear on things. -
Converting a Cisco Ironport C170 to Opnsense router
It will use whatever you set when the forwarding option is enabled, if you don’t set any DNS then it will just use the ISP default. Now in the settings page there is a DNS override option which I leave disabled, if enabled then it essentially bypasses your set DNS options and uses the ISP by...
