    WiFi wireless vs cellular data 4g lte or 5g

    Will WiFi wireless always be superior in this aspect? As long as you’re not really far away from the main routers or ap? Mostly talking about a stable connection and being able to do personal video streaming (Plex or Emby not YouTube or Netflix) without any buffering at all. It seems like to...

    Is now the time to go to 5 Gbps or 10 Gbps home networking?

    Has it been for a while ? If so what do I need ? Most important question is cat 5e cable fast enough for up to 10 Gbps or only 2 Gbps to 5 Gbps ?

    2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps, and 10 Gbps

    Can you still use these network speeds locally even if your internet connection is not that fast, yet, and benefit from it from the device or devices that have a greater than 1 Gbps network card ? It may not make sense for me though sense right now I only have one device with a network card of...

    AT&T Fiber truck/van and small trailer with machine that seems to bury fiber

    If no one knows what I am talking about it is ok. Looking for a picture of this if possible.

    Is it worth having a 2.5 Gbps switch at all ?

    If only my current router has a one 2.5 Gbps port I believe, Asus RT-AX86. Plus I have one device that has a 2.5 Gbps network card and port. Guessing no but wanted to make sure. I do download on the device with the 2.5 Gbps network card and port on steam at max speed sometimes while...

    How long is it safe to use a unsupported Asus router security wise ?

    Do they still provide security updates or no ? It is from 2016 I know I can't think a company will support it forever.

    Double NAT

    How do I know if I have a double nat or not ? If it is not easy to tell then otherwise how to get rid of a double nat if I believe I do ? Got everything working with my Asus third party AX-86U router except thinking I am still double nat. Does it have any advantages or better to stay off double...

    If I go back from using my main AT&T gateway/modem to third party router is it a given all my local ip addresses for devices will change again ?

    Like for my Enpass local sync server, Emby, all the different devices like our printer, etc ?

    Any reason AT&T Fiber would just stop working totally mostly over wireless one day when using BGW 210 gateway in IP Passthrough mode with a RT-AX86U?

    It makes no sense. I prefer using my Asus RT-AX86U as my main device and the AT&T Gateway as a dummy modem only if possible. I get more control and tweaking! So having the Asus RT-AX86U as just a wireless access point makes me sad. :( Though at least it works now. Just curious if anyone...

    I am surprised about getting 800 Mbps over wireless (Wi-Fi 6)

    Sure it is right next to the router but still amazing. Not that it is necessary for a wireless device. Not really. Still I find it fascinating!

    Echo Show Device - Ding Dong someone is at your front door with The Ring Doorbell

    Anyone else had their Amazon Show randomly say Ding Dong someone is at your front door out of the blue when no one is there ? It only happen to us twice but late at night :( Is this a glitch or my network ? Trying to prevent it. Does not happen a lot but still. I will be forced to switch...

    Asus RT-AX86U router question

    I want to use DDNS feature on my router but notice this: Administration - ASUS NOTICE( for privacy ) Please note that users are required to agree to share their information before using DDNS, Remote Connection (ASUS Router APP、Lyra APP、AiCloud、AiDisk), AiProtection, Traffic analyzer, Apps...

    Is it better to have a modem and one router for internet or does a mesh or AP system work ok too if you need it for a larger house ?

    How seamless is a mesh or AP system compared to just having a single router?

    DDNS

    If I enable DDNS on my Asus router what info does it collect if any ? Also can I still use my direct ip or the DDNS address for things to work ?

    Can anyone tell me this is normal over SMB (Windows file sharing) over a home VPN ?

    5 to 10 Mbps upload speed. I have fiber 1 Gbps down and 1 Gbps up. I have a AX86U router.

    I hate when people get Fiber & do not get any ethernet ports installed

    Wifi is ok but not perfect. Wire will always be king. Plus their gateway/modem is not even in the middle of the house. Oh well. At least I tried. Do you all think you will ever get maximum speed on Wifi for Fiber ? I am talking about 1 Gbps + speeds. Highly doubt it.

    AX86U 2.5 Gbps port

    Would plugging my AT&T BGW 220 gateway/modem into this instead of the 1 Gbps port help any of getting a little more than 940 Mbps speed of my 1 Gbps speed if I got a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet card or more in my computer? Like 1000 Mbps to 1100 Mbps ? Curious.

    Changing DNS servers make some wireless devices not work anymore ? Does that make sense? On AT&T Fiber with bypass method using router

    Does this make sense? Is it possible ? This is with a Asus RT-AX86U router. Maybe it was just a coincidence?

    Printer does not work anymore ever sense using Asus RT-AX86U as main router and AT&T Gateway/Modem just as a modem on my fiber so weird. How to fix ?

    The printer is on Wifi maybe that is why ? Though I made the network name and password the same as before. I tried unplugging and plugging the printer back in.

    DDNS

    If I enable DDNS will my main ip address still work to connect to things if I decide to use it instead? Highly doubtful I will use my ip address to connect to things unless it is on one of my devices only still highly doubtful. Just curious if turning on DDNS makes only the DDNS address work now ?
