    Netgear Jaguar (Nighthawk X12) AX6000 Wireless Router

    I was just wondering that since the WiFi has enough trouble already when it comes to interference, especially on the 2.4GHz band, even though eSATA is an older standard it seems like it would have less of an impact on the 2.4GHz band by not increasing the noise floor as much. Beyond that, I...

    Netgear Jaguar (Nighthawk X12) AX6000 Wireless Router

    I wonder why Netgear stopped adding eSATA ports after the R7800. Wouldn't eSATA help to lower the noise floor for the WiFi radio since USB 3.0 does interfere with WiFi? e.g., https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/white-papers/usb3-frequency-interference-paper.pdf If doing...

    XR700

    It seems like no one is making any new consumer devices that can make use of the 60GHz band. It seemed like it had a lot of potential, especially in cases of activities that could be accelerated when in the same room as the router such as an automated complete backup of a smartphone to a NAS...

    TP-Link Introduces Intel-based Router

    For me it is more of reusing older chips that would no longer be good for a PC, e.g., the BOM cost of a most mobile CPUs, are in the sub $10 range, where the bulk of the cost is recovering the research and development cost before the chip is obsolete. I was thinking that while they may be...

    TP-Link Introduces Intel-based Router

    I wonder, why can't Intel re-purpose some of their older netbook focused CPUs for a router? For example, the N3540 may work decently for USB storage performance on the router.

    Wi-Fi Roaming Secrets Revealed - Part 4

    I wonder, for the disassociate events, can't the AP simply ignore connection requests for a limited time after attempting to move a client device? For example, if it forces a device to disconnect from AP 1, in an attempt to get it to connect to AP2, can it perform the disconnect and just prevent...

    R7800 - How to block 1 device from Internet but not Network?

    You can with the block services. I use that function for an old security camera DVR which has not had a firmware update in a long time, thus I blocked all traffic to it, where the only way for me to access it remotely, is the first VPN into the home network. Go to Advanced > Security> Block...

    First EasyMesh Certified Product Is Out. It's An Extender

    Seems pretty cool, especially if each device can use a wired backhaul (hoping that is what the single Ethernet port allows). Other than that, I would like to know how their automatic discovery works from a security standpoint.

    [Sponsored] Is Cloud-Based Network Management Right for You?

    https://www.zyxel.com/library/assets/solutions/nebula/pdf/nebula-licensing-table.pdf While their free tier is still limited, it seems less restrictive than other non-cloud systems where some companies will sell a super expensive wireless controller, and then limit you to like 3 APs and then...

    Does anyone have the 160Mhz working on netgear x10 r9000 router?

    What region is the router set to, and do you have the option to select either a single channel that will allow a 160MHz span with part falling into the DFS channel range, or enough channels for an 80+80MHz?

    Does anyone have the 160Mhz working on netgear x10 r9000 router?

    Do you get the same issue on the stock firmware?

    Charter Says It Will Have draft 802.11ax Router Next Year

    One thing I wonder about is, is the focus on working better in congested environments, reliant on all of the networks being 802.11ax, or will that work even if the other networks are not on 802.11ax?

    TP-Link Deco M9 Plus AC2200 Smart Home Mesh Wi-Fi System Reviewed

    4GB would be a decent amount of RAM to have on a router, though for the high end units, they really should copy some phone makers and go with 8GB of RAM, and if possible, but stick with around 4-8GB of NAND, then allow users to load them with custom applications for whatever they need.

    Orbi - the bandwidth annihilator

    In that case, it can't be too overzealous in crippling its own performance. For example, some routers will drop to 20MHz channel width on the 2.4GHz band at the first sign of other APs, thus if using something like the Netgear R7800 in an urban area, then you will be stuck with slow speeds 100%...

    Goodbye WRT1900ac - comments below

    What you are seeing is the PHY rate and not the real world throughput. To see the real world speed, you need to run a network benchmark like https://iperf.fr/ which has a mac client. Basically you run 1 copy on a wireless client and another on a system connected to an Ethernet port, and then...

    Goodbye WRT1900ac - comments below

    I got the WRT1900 ACS a while back, and while the storage performance was great, the web UI was a pain to use ( not intuitive at all), and it offered very few settings, and the QOS was unreliable even when you set the rules properly. Though WiFi was decent on the 5GHz band. Though I never have...

    Google WiFi No Power

    For a first test, can you use a USB power meter to see if the device is pulling any power? If it pulls some, compare it to the other units (if it is higher then it can point to a short, at which point, you can search for any area that is heating up on the board more than normal. If it is not...

    Orbi - the bandwidth annihilator

    Is it possible for an AP to check for interference across the entire frequency range that it is actively using? For example, even though it may be using channel 9 in that case, since it is using a 40MHz width, then couldn't it detect noise in that entire 40MHz span in order to compensate for the...

    Orbi - the bandwidth annihilator

    From the FCC tests they show it all below the limits, I just wonder if they went far too low when it comes to staying within the limits, which may harm the performance at the edges of the coverage, especially when it comes to smartphones which like to use negative gain antennas.

    Orbi - the bandwidth annihilator

    Seems like the info being sent out is different than what is actually being used. I wonder if it is like where some 3rd party firmware allow you to specify a transmit power but it makes no difference to the real world transmit power.
