    Upgrade to AX68U from AX58U, worth it?

    I have the AX58U and it works fine, but it bothers me that it only has 2x2 MIMO and that it apparently has an early draft of the WiFi6-standard, and as such not "Certified WiFi6". The AX68U is now on sale in my country for 40% off roughly. Is it worth the upgrade to AX68U? I mostly just...

    Upgrade NAS...How to migrate data?

    My older Dlink DNS-323 in Raid 1 (2 WD 1.5tb drives) just seems slow these days, and it has always had pretty poor transfer speeds. So time to think about upgrade, perhaps to Synology DS220.
