    Help replacing ISP provided modem/router

    I said I have nothing else to say, but for OP I'll make an exception. Think about how you'd expect or like your future network to be. You said currently ~85 devices. That's a lot for a home network. If you think/plan to expand in the future (most likely), take that into account. Build a network...

    Help replacing ISP provided modem/router

    Oh boy, another ASUS fanboy who's gone blind and has his ego bruised :D I'm biased against ASUS, after using it for years, FOR A REASON. It doesn't matter whether consumer, business or professional equipment. There are BETTER solutions that COST LESS that an overpriced AIO device with flashy...

    Help replacing ISP provided modem/router

    The point is that it shouldn't be "go get an ASUS and you're done, thread closed". There are better solutions that also not only cost less than an overpriced ASUS but offer more, are better and on a higher level. As Tech9 pointed out, OP says up to 85 (or more?) clients. Even the best ASUS will...

    Help replacing ISP provided modem/router

    It's biased because Merlin is here doing his development stuff AND Mr. Tim is so stuck up in refusing to add subforums for other brands as well. What is the name again of this forum? Small Net Builder Forums? Yea? No? More like ASUSForums.com! Also, the OP didn't ask for ASUS, NETGEAR or any...

    Help replacing ISP provided modem/router

    ASUS is not the answer to everything. If you want high reliability and flexibility, you should look into the professional/business/enterprise equipment. Both Ubiquiti and MikroTik serve that space. The RouterOS of the latter has a bit of learning curve but once you get comfortable with it, you...

    Web site Seemed Blocked

    Have you tried different DNS servers on your routers? Cloudflare, Google DNS? It might be just blocked on the DNS side only.

    What tool can i use to test my throughput of the router?

    I work with Linux only thus far (in some months I'll be getting a MacBook Air to play with macOS) so I can't live without Bash, grep, sed, ls, cat, mv, rm, etcetera. I'd install coreutils, binutils, sed, openssh, ffmpeg, rsync, etc if I was you. I can't live without these command-line programs...

    What tool can i use to test my throughput of the router?

    Macports is a site that offers Linux and similar software, compiled and packaged for macOS. Yes, it's trustworthy. Since macOS is a UNIX system, and Linux is part of that family too, it isn't that difficult to compile and package for macOS. It does not have everything, but you can find most GNU...

    Probably my last post

    You don't need to have or use an ASUS router to stay on the forum. I haven't used one in years (MikroTik & TP-Link here) but I hang around here to learn and occasionally help where I can. Yes, this forum is very ASUS-centric (pity), but there are also posts that are more general that can be...

    Are you using IPv6?

    Dual stack since 2010 here. My ISP has pretty robust IPv6 support. Offers me a /56 and I can do whatever I want.

    This is not an ASUS issue. Ask Xiaomi on their forum if they have one.

    Archer AX11000 not getting full speed (TP-Link)

    940 Mbps sounds about right for speed, if your ISP isn't over-provisioning. I get about same speed on my 1 Gbps plan here, using a MikroTik router. Even if WAN is 2.5 Gbps, you won't get more than a Gbps on wired LAN due to LAN ports being only 1 Gbps. If you have a very fast AX wifi, you can...

    Is a 450VA UPS enough for a modem / router?

    CAT6, CAT6A cable recommendation

    Get CAT6A. Monoprice cables are pretty good and not expensive. They ship worldwide

    My Problem with Asus Routers

    I am so glad I left the consumer router market. My MikroTik and TP-Link Omada APs are so much better, both in performance, stability, and virtually (for me) bug-free operation, at least I haven't come across something not working or not as intended since my switch to these platforms. Firmware...
