    Which of These 3 Routers Do You Recommend?

    I could never recommend TP-Link due to the nasty games they play with their customers by releasing new hardware version with very minor changes and drop support for the previous hardware version like a hot potato. Quite often, that older hardware sits around on store shelves for years later, so...

    Quad i225 2.5G NIC

    None of that truly fixed the issue, I tested this less than six months ago. I have a Gigabyte X670E board. It's a hardware design flaw, which can't be fixed via firmware or drivers. Older Realtek 2.5 Gbps hardware also have some issues.

    Clearly you do not understand what bifurcation is. If the system supports bifurcation, the slot allows multiple PCIe devices (x1 in this instance) to each get allocated one or more lanes worth of PCIe bandwidth, without the need of a bridge chip. This is way to make cheaper add-in cards that...

    Well, I have a TRENDnet TEG-S380 V2.0R as well, it runs cool as anything and that one sits in the electrical cabinet where the internet comes in to the flat. Not everything was connected when I took this pic. I also have a TP-Link TL-SX105 that runs cooler than the old GS110EMX. Also, what...

    Quad i225 2.5G NIC

    I would avoid those as the plague, as the i225 chips have some serious bugs. The onboard i225 on my motherboards kept having disconnects from the network at random when I tested it. Luckily I don't use it, as I'm on 10 Gbps, but I wanted to give it a try, but it was a no go. For 2.5 Gbps...

    I went Aquantia/Marvell a long time ago, but the Intel i225 chip on my motherboard is having issues, so I disabled it. Realtek isn't flawless either, but the latest generation of chips seems to be better than the first gen. Bought a Realtek USB dongle for my laptop and the first one was having...

    Why is it an issue that it runs hot, if it doesn't go out side of spec? A device running hot is in and of itself not a bad thing, as it means the heat is being moved from the hot components and out of the device as intended by design. I have had a Netgear GS110EMX for years, it gets hot, but it...

    ASUS RT-BE92U

    1. That explains why you're so rude. Why are all Broadcom employees like that? 2. Hostile? I simply suggested you create the product you want and try to sell it. I've actually worked for a router manufacturer and I know exactly how hard it is to get consumers interested. However, the 2.4 GHz is...

    ASUS RT-BE92U

    1. You clearly don't understand the improvements that have been done to the 2.4 GHz band since 802.11n from 2009 until today. You might not care, but for others, it matters. 2. Good for you, but it has crap range, doesn't go through more than one wall at best and is irrelevant for 98% of people...

    ASUS RT-BE92U

    The 2.4 GHz band is 802.11be now as well on WiFi 7 routers. 2x2 on the 5 GHz band is a bad idea imho, since more and more devices uses it, whereas the 6 GHz band is still very much a niche band that some laptops and phones/tablets can use.

    Accidentally removed a QNAP storage pool instead of detaching. Pretty sure the data is all there, I just don't know how to mount it.

    Maybe try emailing/calling QNAP support or asking on the QNAP forums? You paid for a ready made device for the support, no?

    Looking to replace RT-AC86U

    I just assumed the screenshot was between the two ET12's, as that's what the diagram on the left suggests.

    Looking to replace RT-AC86U

    No, I meant the ET12 that the OP has.

    Looking to replace RT-AC86U

    Right, that's a fair point. But will the ET12's get it?

    Looking to replace RT-AC86U

    That I wouldn't waste my money on the more expensive model, as the only thing you really gain is that second 5 GHz radio. Yes, the more expensive model has a slightly better SoC and more RAM, but unless you have need for the 10 Gbps ports, I don't see it being worth the extra money. I'm sure...

    Looking to replace RT-AC86U

    Ok, quite surprising it works as well as it does, but you're clearly taking a big hit in terms of the upload speed. Might be worth playing a bit with the positioning of the two units to try and get better performance.

    Looking to replace RT-AC86U

    Out of those, the GT-AXE11000 is the one most similar to the ET12's hardware wise.

    Looking to replace RT-AC86U

    Are you sure you're using the 6 GHz band? As normally you can't penetrate more than a wall before the performance drops significantly. I can't really find anyone that has tested the ET12 not having line of sight between the two units using the 6 GHz band as wireless backhaul, which is why I'm...

    Looking to replace RT-AC86U

    Wow, that's bizarre, but explains why. The RT-AXE7800 might not be a good choice, as it's only 2x2 on the 6 GHz band, with your ET12's being 4x4. That said, the 6 GHz band doesn't have good wall penetration, so you might end up having to use the 5 GHz band as backhaul between floors.

    Looking to replace RT-AC86U

    Sorry, but why not just get another ET12? Those are obviously built to work well with each other using AiMesh.
