You guys should do a video comparing cheaper regular consumer routers, to these types of "gaming routers" and other ones like ubiquity, would be interesting to see if they(gaming routers) are now better than they were before

[TheBlueKnight]

From someone who works internet support this is a god send for us. Also felt some real happiness hearing Linus say "Your Internet is fine, the port is just blocked!"

I liked the explicit, in script, audio clarification of “Sponsored Unboxing”

My biggest question with wi-fi routers is always "How does it cope with brick walls?"
I guess that's a very British question as most houses here (except new ones) have brick internal walls.

I've swapped both the routers in my life to Asus (non-ROG) ones recently and I have been deeply impressed with the general level of competence and useful features (both VPN-server AND VPN-client options, perfect for the place where my only decent-speed connection option is over 4G but I don't want to be stuck behind the mobile phone company's CG-NAT). Oh, and reliability compared to a previous hunk-of-junk that needed a DIY watchdog-rebooter to ensure the stupid thing would get auto-reset when it went stupid and stopped routing traffic roughly once a month. Zero stupid issues on my Asus routers means I am now brand-loyal to them (unless they fail me in the future, of course).

I love the focus here on power users. I've screwed around with a bunch of different routers and messed with settings and firmware. I'm sure there are super expensive business solutions out there somewhere but I've found very little that has both polish and features like this one does.

I know it's sponsored, but I've got a soft spot for Asus gear.
Hangover from them picking up the Abit team (if you're old school) - Always performs well and their support of Open Source means I got a few more years than I owt to out of my last router.

Create a combined 2.4/5GHz for your main network, then create a dedicated guest network for IoT devices for increased security. There is an option to allow access from your main network to guest networks. This is a much better solution

If it becomes supported by RMerlin firmware I’ll instantly buy it. So far it’s the only router that looks like it will get that support along with multiple multi-gig ports (I need one for WAN as my ISP can offer over 1Gbps fibre, and one for LAN to my 10Gbps core switch).

Asus router is actually really good. The firmware, reliability, usability and feature and they keep updating the firmware of the older router also making the lifespan of the router to another level. Not to mention the wifi mesh support with older asus router.

[ilkerYT]

That wifi router might be fast but the real question is if my internet provider can provide me more than 10mb per sec

[smiles]

You're part of the SentinelOne family!! 😍🥳 I know it's a corporate product but you should see if they want to do a feature on it as I reckon loads of people would be interested. It's an absolute kick ass product 👌👌

Linus telling an employee "I don't think the adult filtering is working, but you can try it if you want" 😂😂

[yuanchiwang]

I got my ASUS tuf ax5400 2 months ago.It worked fantastically with all the features and the range I want. With ipv6 and firewall exclusion i can finally open the port I need.

Linus: "I like pickles"
Router: "I don't like that password"
Its confirmed. Router doesn't eat pickles lmao

[steelfalconx]

Everytime Linus throws shade at the idea of being your family's IT guy I think about the time he upgraded his parents wifi. Also the time he installed point to point wifi antennas to the house on that island. Also about the time he taught his grandpa how to use a phone.

I've got a Rapture AC 5300, it's a hell of a beast. A pretty nice upgrade from an RT-3100.

[TerrifyingBird]

My best bet for the port forwarding on the router - other than your security software configuring a firewall on your pc - is that you did not put the router in your dmz. (hence it is not "on the Internet" but behind the firewall and cannot open ports unless you forward them on your modem to the router first)

Not getting a static (!) real public ip on a business connection is basically impossible. It can happen on a residential line, though.

Opened the incognito tab. A man of culture

I personally would like to see a breakdown of some popular ax routers and how they perform in higher congested conditions. I live in an apartment complex and everyone around me now has wifi that blasts everywhere creating ridiculous interference patterns, at least 20+ networks. I legit am on my 3rd router and pulling my hair out. Im tempted to just go back to wired and be done with it.
