    ASUS RT-AX88U Network Segmentation (Help Needed)

    With stock firmware (or merlin firmware) and no scripting, you have two VLANs you can make use of (three if you count the trusted LAN). You would have to stop using Yazfi to take advantage of them though. I posted a tutorial on how to use them a while back, but if you need more than those...

    These types of Apple devices/services should be outlawed. No security fix is available at all

    Is Apple vs the world going to be the new IPv6? A new era of SNBForums is upon us!

    VLAN Config Query using pfSense and Unifi

    I guess anything is possible, I've never seen it, and it would not be a desirable effect in most cases. It would effectively have to be a smart switch SOC put inside a dumb switch, but with programming to specifically strip the tag, which is why I said it is possible for a specific special use...

    tasmota devices failing to connect back - Asus WRT

    Honestly I have no idea what Tasmota is (other than what you've told me). No "shade" intended toward those donating their time, but if I had a device that required B or G to operate, it would be retired to the closet. Or if there was no option but to run it, maybe a dedicated AP, but even then...

    VLAN Config Query using pfSense and Unifi

    Not disagreeing at all, many modern dumb switches will pass VLAN tags fine (they ignore the fact that the frames are the wrong ethertype, and since they support jumbo frames, have no issue passing them). I was talking about stripping tags, dumb switches do not do that.

    Looking for help buying an sqm Router with performance to almost 500mbit connection

    The 30msec is several hops out from them, which implies their ISP is fine, at least to a certain point. @Furious - ping test/traceroute a few other sites, specifically ones within your country, that will give a better view, if they all hit that 30msec hop, then your ISP may just have a lousy...

    Looking for help buying an sqm Router with performance to almost 500mbit connection

    Start with the upgrade to 500/50, much much much better use of your money. If you still need QOS, go for a far more reasonably priced router and use as little QOS as possible to accomplish what you want. But sometimes the best QOS is just limiting or coordinating with the people/devices that...

    Was that autocorrect for POS? :)

    settings for AX11000 pro

    Just FYI what you have isn't router on a stick, it is just a standard router setup with 2 interfaces.

    settings for AX11000 pro

    It may be sufficient, but you won't be able to extend that isolation to wired ports or other APs unless you assign another VLAN to guest and trunk that to your switches and future APs. For now it is probably fine. If you're using Guest Wireless 1, then it has already created some VLANs for you...

    settings for AX11000 pro

    If your router is showing 36 to 64 and 100 to 165 then you are able to have two 80mhz 5ghz radios without having DFS involved so you're good, use both in the fashion that @Tech9 mentioned. The two channels you've chosen are outside of DFS so that is good. The only question is what power levels...

    An excellent reason to avoid Tasmota devices :)

    VLAN Config Query using pfSense and Unifi

    The only switch that can strip a tag is a smart or managed switch (vlan aware). If you're going to get one of those, might as well use VLAN tagging. I guess there may be some specialty switch out there that has a custom ASIC intended to strip off tags but it wouldn't be some generic dumb...

    VLAN Config Query using pfSense and Unifi

    An unmanaged switch cannot strip a VLAN tag, it has no idea what a VLAN tag is nor can it de-encapsulate the frame. It will just drop the frame if it detects it as invalid, which many older dumb switches would do because the frame was too large and an invalid ethertype. Newer dumb switches...

    N/AC/AX Mixed Wireless Mode, “Maximizes performance”?

    Modern wifi uses time slices and all clients participate and wait their turn. If they simply interpret the neighboring AP (or wifi device) as noise, they just talk over other devices and don't play nice. Now whether an A client that can't join a 5Ghz network interprets that network as noise or...

    settings for AX11000 pro

    You may want to call VLAN 10 something like "WAN-Internet" but doesn't really matter. I'm assuming that's the VLAN for internet with your ISP, and 20 is the one they use for IPTV? Looks good DB Switch Port 3 technically doesn't need VLAN 10 but I see you mention it is a backup port to...

    settings for AX11000 pro

    I think you may be confusing ports and VLANs in the tables. Port 2 should be PVID 1 and untagged vlan 1 on both since it is a trunk port, right now you have no untagged vlan on it and one of them has PVID 10 for that port. In reality, you can make VLAN 1 a member of NO ports but some devices...

    settings for AX11000 pro

    Not delete it, just make all ports that are a member of another untagged vlan "not member" of VLAN 1. Every port should only have one "untagged" vlan showing in the table right below that. So in the case of your living room switch, only port 1 (trunk port) should have VLAN 1 untagged. To put...

    settings for AX11000 pro

    First go through and remove VLAN 1 from all your untagged ports. You should not have two untagged VLANs on a port, that will cause issues. That may resolve it. Every "trunk" port should have VLAN 1 untagged, PVID 1, and the other VLANs (10,20,100, whatever) tagged. Every "access" port should...
