    Even when not using MLO, it still changes some stuff

    Having recently upgraded my laptop to an Intel BE200 NIC, I could now observe the issue with the Wireless Log failing to retrieve the hostname. As I initially suspected based on initial user reports, Wifi 7 clients (specifically those that support MLO - my previous test USB dongle didn't, so it...

    Wifi 7 performance is more than just marketing...

    I finally went ahead, and upgraded my laptop with an Intel BE200 wifi card, and did a few file copy tests. This is a file copy done from another room (so, with one wall between my laptop and my router proving that you don't need to be in the same room as some are claiming), and also without MLO...

    Demo UI for Asus' ExpertWifi devices

    While trying to locate a more up-to-date demoui than the 386-based https://demoui.asus.com/, I ran into a FAQ that lists demo UIs for their ExpertWifi devices: https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1053261/

    Wireguard benchmark test on RT-BE96U

    I took advantage of an Holidays discount to subscribe to a ProtonVPN account, to do better Wireguard testing than with my single core VPS. The results are interesting - better than I was expecting I'd say on my RT-BE96U: I have a 1 Gbps symetric fiber connection.

    NIST password recommendations

    Some very good recommendations from NIST regarding passwords. Opting for longer passwords for instance rather than short and overly complicated is a win-win: easier to memorize, and still more secure. Also, password expiry has to die. How many users are ending up with a Post-It on their...

    Looking for feedback: Anyone considering AiCloud important to them?

    Considering AiCloud's history, I am wondering if getting rid of it might not be a good idea. There are a now far better alternatives to achieve similar results (free/inexpensive cloud services, Plex, Jellyfin, a VPN, etc...) Anyone for whom losing AiCloud in Asuswrt-Merlin would be a deal...

    Incoming webui changes in 3006

    As a heads up: 3006.102_36xxx has two significant changes that may impact addon developers. 1) Jquery was updated to version 3.7.1. 2) Asus now loads js/jsquery.js before loading any other Javascript script, so there may be new depdencies on top of those added in httpApi/client_functions in the...
