    Not getting near rated speeds when wired on brand new AX86U

    Yeah, that's what i normally do. I know the remote access feature essential just forwards a port, opening my network devices up to be part of a DDoS attack. I usually use OpenVPN for remote access to my router and surveillance system, but for the time being I just went with this until i can get...

    Not getting near rated speeds when wired on brand new AX86U

    I'm out of state at a wedding right now and through Sunday, but here's a screenshot showing the firmware version the router is on. I opted for remote access during setup, so i can view all the settings in the app from here. I don't mess around with the betas, so this is the latest stable...

    Not getting near rated speeds when wired on brand new AX86U

    So I didn't get into all the detail for the sake of time and my post getting too wordy, but I did already try multiple cables as well as wiggling around the connection and connecting/disconnecting several times, all to no avail. There was no discernable change in performance from any of it. I...

    Not getting near rated speeds when wired on brand new AX86U

    I just got new Verizon FiOS service and ordered 3 brand new Asus RT-AX86U routers to setup a mesh system with wired backhaul. I haven't even gotten to the mesh system yet; I'm currently just trying to configure the main router, but I cannot seem to get near the 940Mbps rated speeds I'm paying...

    Recommendation for Wifi 6 router mesh system that can handle 2 Gbps?

    What? Storage? I use wd purple hdds for surveillance storage. No redundancy on the surveillance drives, because frankly i don't care if i lose the data. My Plex data on the other hand is on wd gold helium hdds in raid 6. Bandwidth requirements are a function of the configuration of the...

    Recommendation for Wifi 6 router mesh system that can handle 2 Gbps?

    Kind of just seems like semantics at this point, no? I was only talking individual devices. But nevermind that whole argument anyway. I realized after your last post that i must have previously looked up a different model qnap multi-gig switch, because i was thinking the one in question was a...

    Recommendation for Wifi 6 router mesh system that can handle 2 Gbps?

    You can have your opinions about what's wasteful, but it's just that, your opinion. Your use case doesn't apply universally. I don't even use NVRs, so we're not in the same ballpark.

    Recommendation for Wifi 6 router mesh system that can handle 2 Gbps?

    How is it daisy chaining when all nodes connect to a switch which connects to the main router? Daisy chaining would be node connected to node.

    Recommendation for Wifi 6 router mesh system that can handle 2 Gbps?

    You aren't making a compelling argument. Perhaps on whatever infrastructure you use, you're limited to 1 single full HD camera stream at a time, but by no means is that the norm. Simply remotely accessing each individual cameras stream on its own in a browser, outside of any management...

    Recommendation for Wifi 6 router mesh system that can handle 2 Gbps?

    No that helps. Thanks for clarifying. So based on this, I'm assuming daisy chaining is not possible with these routers? Or is it just that daisy chaining isn't practiced by network professionals because of the risks associated with a single point of failure? Either way, I can't see myself...

    Recommendation for Wifi 6 router mesh system that can handle 2 Gbps?

    But what you're assuming is that every scenario is cookie cutter. You keep referencing devices being unable to display the pixels, but you don't even know what devices I have. I think you're just assuming I'm walking around with my phone looking at my cameras. While that is one use case, it's...

    Recommendation for Wifi 6 router mesh system that can handle 2 Gbps?

    Ok well that's you. And I'm not running toy cameras here buddy, plus I've said nothing about video frame rate or bit rate settings which i keep higher than normal for reason. I already have a half-assed configuration like you describe just so i can get some kind of remote access going on my...

    Recommendation for Wifi 6 router mesh system that can handle 2 Gbps?

    It really would be a matter of how much i want to limit my surveillance and Plex server remote streaming capabilities. I have six 1080p60 ipcams that can run 3 simultaneous streams each and two 4k30 ipcams that can run 2 simultaneous streams each. I typically record both in h264 for universal...

    Recommendation for Wifi 6 router mesh system that can handle 2 Gbps?

    Well shirt. That sucks. I really thought the technology had progressed a lot more over the years, but I guess not. I guess that leaves me with no other option than going with Verizon Fios 940Mbps. I mean, i could do Xfinity 1200Mbps, but the abysmal 35Mbps upload is completely not worth it. My...

    Recommendation for Wifi 6 router mesh system that can handle 2 Gbps?

    Why would they do that? So they advertise multi-gig or 10gig speeds, but then they bottleneck it with gigabit switch ports? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Every consumer router on the market right now is like this?

    Recommendation for Wifi 6 router mesh system that can handle 2 Gbps?

    I'm confused. The advertised speeds are well above 940mbps for these devices. The asus rog ax11000 (or whatever the model number is) advertises 11000Mbps. It's supposedly consumer 10 Gbit. I get that it's aggregate for all bands and theoretical, so it's not even close to actual 10 Gbit, but it...

    Recommendation for Wifi 6 router mesh system that can handle 2 Gbps?

    I was leaning towards the AX86U's. Seems like a good bang for the buck if not using wireless backhaul. I'm not sure I'm following the purpose of the qnap switches though. Is that just for wired network expansion? I'm not going to have much much need for expansion beyond the node ports outside...

    Recommendation for Wifi 6 router mesh system that can handle 2 Gbps?

    I'm closing on a house on Friday, and it appears Comcast 2 Gbps service is available at the address (2Gig down and up), so I'll probably be going with that. The house is 3,900sf, so I'm going to need/want a mesh system to get full coverage. I'm looking to move up to Wifi 6 too. I've been...

    Recommendation on a good laser printer?

    Ok, I think i may pull the trigger on this 2710DW then. It already sounds pretty decent as a monochrome laser printer. The added scanning is just a plus. I'll probably give the scanner a go, and if I don't like it I'll get a dedicated scanner. I still have my crappy Epson for color prints...

    Recommendation on a good laser printer?

    So the 2710dw takes third-party carts? Im seeing conflicting reports on this on Amazon, but Amazon always combines reviews for multiple models so its hard to tell.
