    External antennas on the likes of AC86U, is that the magic for range?

    I would assume but I don't really know the better AP antennas would support more clients both active talkers and number of connections. Does ASUS publish how many active talkers and total connections they will support?

    CakeQOS CakeQOS for Gaming?

    CakeQoS is a lot of work for only working when you saturate your ISP connection. The other thing is I assume it works on UDP and you are not using it on TCP. Can it tell the difference in game UDP and video streaming UDP? Otherwise, if anybody is streaming video, they will have the same...

    VPN over DNS

    Do you mean port 53? I don't think VPN will fit in a DNS packet.

    Lots of 2.4Ghz IoTs, will a 3x3 be better than 2x2?

    It is when it comes to wireless. It provides more bandwidth and more distance.

    Can only access a website by direct connection to router. Not through switch

    Yes, the modem needs to be in bridge mode. But he is getting multiple outside IPs so I would think it already is. I thought he was using 3 out of 5 IPs. The beauty of 5 statics is you can do separate things on the internet. You would not want them all doing the same thing as it would make no...

    Lots of 2.4Ghz IoTs, will a 3x3 be better than 2x2?

    I have no idea about Ubiquiti as I have not run one but the last Cisco 150ax I bought was $102. I think they were breaking 5 packs up. And of course I bought it from a Cisco partner. Amazon has the RT-AX88U Pro for $239.

    Lots of 2.4Ghz IoTs, will a 3x3 be better than 2x2?

    I agree on ASUS's range. But 2 Cisco or probably Ubiquiti well as you said "utterly" destroy 1 ASUS router in range and bandwidth. And you can also have more active talkers using APs vs 1 wireless router. You can buy 2 Cisco 150ax APs for less than 1 RT-AX88U PRO router. And now that the...

    Can only access a website by direct connection to router. Not through switch

    If it is a dumb switch then you don't.

    Can only access a website by direct connection to router. Not through switch

    He is correct if you want to use 5 statics and you don't have an old "business router" that supported 5 statics then you could use a switch plugged into a modem and run 5 single routers. There are 5 static IPs available for DHCP with outside IP addresses. I have only done this a long time ago...

    External antennas on the likes of AC86U, is that the magic for range?

    Yea but Pfsense is free. With Pfsense and 1 AP you save a lot of money vs RT-AX88 if you only need 1. If you need 2 APs then you still save money. And 2 AP will have better coverage.

    Can only access a website by direct connection to router. Not through switch

    By chance are you using a smart switch which has DHCP on and it is grabbing an outside IP, one of your statics? Try setting the switch up with a private IP address in a network that you are not using. You should be able to access the switch as long as it is not a network inside one of the...

    Using pfSense with a L3 core switch

    So, I was reading today about Skynet and unbound hitting China's Authoritative servers even though China is blocked. It got me thinking. If I am running unbound on Pfsense I guess the same thing will happen? Even if I am running Pfblocker? It might be better to run Forwarding so China will...

    External antennas on the likes of AC86U, is that the magic for range?

    It shows as a much higher cost using google looking at Amazon than my last Cisco 150ax AP I bought, like more than twice the price. And it makes less sense with the more expensive ASUS routers. Costs have gone crazy on little routers. I would not buy them. I don't see other people justify it...

    Lots of 2.4Ghz IoTs, will a 3x3 be better than 2x2?

    Nobody seems to publish this info. Cisco does.

    Apple Wi-Fi updated and MU-MIMO

    The specs look good but you know me, I am going to run Cisco. I never seem to have issues bad enough to bother me.

    Using pfSense with a L3 core switch

    So, we have a friend over that is using google cloud and running a VPN to a client working. They lost power in the big storm we had a few days ago so they are here working. Pfsense seems to be working well. The only thing I noticed is we are 2% higher on CPU usage on my i3.

    Pfsense/opnsense box with AX88U Merlin firmware

    I would think Pfsense would be easier to setup than a bunch of scripts for ASUS. Most all setup for Pfsense is under the GUI. Yes, there is a lot there but easier than scripts and interactions with multiple scripts.

    External antennas on the likes of AC86U, is that the magic for range?

    Yes, you say that now but then you recommend high dollar routers.

    External antennas on the likes of AC86U, is that the magic for range?

    Buying multiple APs will be cheaper than buying multiple routers.

    Fios, AXE11000 2 pack, TP link switch, and do I need vlan iptv?

    You are matching the VLAN not the switch IP. All a switch IP is to identify a switch for access not VLANs.
