    BE98 Pro (AX Only Option)

    Under the professional tab for the various frequencies there are options for wireless mode. I'm mostly interested in 6GHz and maybe 5. There are options for Auto, AX Only, N/AC/AX Mixed and Legacy. I find it odd there is no "BE Only" option on any of them. My question stems from this lack of BE...

    RT-AX89X vs RT-AX88U

    I've been wanting the 89X for a while now but it's been sold out everywhere for over 3 weeks. The 88U is also on my radar and I can find that in stock. I really have no need to the 10G Ethernet or the 10G SFP as I don't run any servers at home. What I do have is a smart home with a lot of...

    802.11ac AIMeshed with 802.11ax - how does that work?

    802.11ax and ac work fundamentally differently. With a single-AP configuration, the ax will talk to ac clients in an ac mode and, when it talks to ax clients, tells the ac clients to effectively shut up for a bit. In a mesh situation, where I have two 802.11ac ASUS routers, if I add the...
