    ASUS announces the new Quad-Band ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 ushering in 10GbE

    See I thought that too about the 6Ghz band, until I saw all the announcements at CES. Take AMD for instance. There new Rembrandt APUs will be packing a punch and they are adding the WiFi 6E to them out of the gate. It seems like every company is jumping on WiFi6E quickly this go around, so I...

    ASUS announces the new Quad-Band ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 ushering in 10GbE

    Advanced technology......Custom build a fast 6-12+ core, 16GB+ DDR3/4, 1-2 Dual 10GbE rack firewall server running Pfsense. Gives you future expandability....oh wait that would not be exactly consumer grade now....;) I remember some of those promises. In fact, ASUS had the feature, but did not...

    ASUS announces the new Quad-Band ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 ushering in 10GbE

    I do not know why you keep referring to building of a $12K gaming PC to justify anything? I build custom computers and have spent average $3000-6000 for a top end gaming PC. Usually the graphics card, motherboard, M.2 SSD, CPU, and memory will be the most expensive. The cooling aspect for dual...

    ASUS announces the new Quad-Band ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 ushering in 10GbE

    Where do the valid points come in? Apple in nearly every instance cannot be compared. Apple also only offer 10GbE LAN on their expensive $5000+ Pro Systems with only a few exceptions where they offer on their mid high-end tiers and even then, you are talking over $1000 entry. For Apple it is...

    ASUS announces the new Quad-Band ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 ushering in 10GbE

    Everything has a price, and although you bring up some valid points, there is only so far you can go before the price escapes the home needs. Most of the SOC chips for home/small business routers are built with limits in mind. Most major equipment is using full blown servers, or hardware...

    ASUS announces the new Quad-Band ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 ushering in 10GbE

    I agree. I did not see needing 2 6Ghz radios either, if they are essentially giving you back the 2nd 5Ghz radio, as all 3 radios are for the 802.11AX standard, with 6Ghz just being the least congested. Now the 10Gbps Ethernet I did see as good reason even in a home network, but more or less for...

    ASUS announces the new Quad-Band ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 ushering in 10GbE

    Nah, more like complete future proof and possibly even Mini NAS duties to compliment my NAS/Gaming Server lol :)

    ASUS announces the new Quad-Band ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 ushering in 10GbE

    Exactly my friend. Different viewpoints are always good especially in the tech space. In this case though, they were building the demographic they were aiming for, which is the gaming community, as they are one of the biggest players in that market with just about every product, they build these...

    ASUS announces the new Quad-Band ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 ushering in 10GbE

    Also wanted to add, all my servers are now rack mounted, so any upgrades would require being rack friendly :)

    ASUS announces the new Quad-Band ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 ushering in 10GbE

    To get to feature parity, you may end up spending more in the short term. As for me, I have a custom PfSense Firewall Server currently with an old G41/Intel Q6600 Quad-Core/4GB DDR3 combo powering it and the OS installed on a small Sata SSD with an Intel Quad 1Gb NIC and Dual 2.5Gb Realtek...

    ASUS announces the new Quad-Band ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 ushering in 10GbE

    I still beg to differ. The GT series is their highend branding and in most cases carries premium quality hardware. This router looks to be deserving of the name. Also keep in mind it is aimed at gamers first and foremost, so the RGB and GUI match that philosophy ( I also happen to not mind it...

    ASUS announces the new Quad-Band ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 ushering in 10GbE

    Looks like Asus has their new king of wireless routers coming out with the announcement of the ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 Quad-Band Router that not only adds an extra wireless band, but also adds 2 10GbE ports to boot along with the Quad 1GbE and WAN 2.5GbE ports. This is quite an upgrade and IMO...

    Pfsense for the foreseeable future. The move away from Opnsense after nearly 2yrs of using.

    Definitely can add complexity to the network. I also have a home network and the IOT devices are isolated on the 2.4Ghz channel of my high-end Asus GT-AX11000 Router/AP. I have created a VLAN from the NIC port on my Pfsense Firewall that is going into my TP-Link T1600G-28TS L3 Managed Smart...

    Pfsense for the foreseeable future. The move away from Opnsense after nearly 2yrs of using.

    The IOT devices are on a different subnet from my wired devices and servers. Firewall rules are also used to control internet and intranet access.

    Pfsense for the foreseeable future. The move away from Opnsense after nearly 2yrs of using.

    At this point there is no need for a business class AP. I am renting as well right now so I cannot go all out on fully running cables and AP's, etc. When I buy a home, than I have bigger plans. Also this is a home network, and I still have the full wireless on a different subnet from my...

    Pfsense for the foreseeable future. The move away from Opnsense after nearly 2yrs of using.

    The Asus GT-AX11000 physically could support Vlan but needs the custom firmware or for openWRT and/or DD-WRT to add support but they may be a long way off. The IOT devices are still separated by the wireless SSID running on the 2.4Ghz band and can have static IPs with firewall rules that just...

    Pfsense for the foreseeable future. The move away from Opnsense after nearly 2yrs of using.

    All wireless devices are on a different subnet now. Also on the wireless network all IOT devices are only on the 2.4Ghz channel. I may further break it down possibly by using Vlan. I am just not sure if the Asus router also can support that functionality. All my servers and main PC are on...

    Yeah it was late and I was tired, so there was no real structure to what I typed lol.

    Pfsense for the foreseeable future. The move away from Opnsense after nearly 2yrs of using.

    It has been awhile since I have discussed my network or tribulations with using Opnsense over Pfsense. Fast forward almost 2yrs since I switched to Opnsense, and I am now back on Pfsense for the first time since using Opnsense as my main backbone to my network. I want to start by saying this...

    Switch back to Pfsense from Opnsense and why.

    You will find the Opnsense community possibly more open and willing to assist a little easier, but Pfsense has better documentation and some forum members will assist, if it makes sense. There are a few features also in Pfsense such as the QOS/Shaper Wizard to make setting up QOS easy on the...
