New models to be introduced with 3006.102.2
Yeah, one day I'll probably build a pfsense machine and use APs instead. For now the BE88U will last me quite a while for my needs. The 10g ports are capable of 9gbps on stock settings. I currently don't use any features that'll hog resources. I understand this thing can't do everything, if I...- portets

New models to be introduced with 3006.102.2
All true but I held out a few more months on an ac1900 device to get the RT-BE88U instead of the RT-AX88U Pro. I am extremely happy. Best port config of any "ordinary" consumer AIO device, 20% faster per band, and MLO. Even without MLO I can almost saturate my 2 gig fiber connection. 1.9gbps to...- portets

Why are MLO-enabled networks usually guest networks?
I've noticed multiple companies' new Wi-Fi 7 routers create an alternate MLO-enabled "guest" or virtual SSID when you turn on MLO. Non-Wi-Fi 7 devices all seem to be able to connect to this MLO SSID with no detriment. Why isn't the main SSID MLO-enabled? Why the need for a separate virtual SSID?- portets

Asus RT-BE88U support in AsusWrt Merlin
Awesome info, now I don't have to open mine up. I'm also curious about that 5th antenna. Is that abnormal for a router? Also the Wi-Fi chip is interesting, configurable as 2.4, 5, or 6ghz. I wonder if the 5ghz band could be configured as 6ghz 160mhz in software? Or is it configured in hardware?- portets

RT-BE88U MLO network visible to non-MLO devices?
I expected MLO networks to be invisible to non-Wifi 7 devices. 2 questions: Is this something Asus does or is it true of all MLO networks? If this is just how MLO networks work, why isn't the main SSID MLO-enabled? Why is MLO a virtual SSID under Guest Network Pro? I've heard this is how...- portets
