Review: Router Info - Flashed to Merlin, started up, all running straight away, Tailscale installed and running. I think my old router couldn’t handle running jffs scripts and operating as a router. The other bonus is the Ethernet ports which meant I got rid of a switch. Throughput seems good via 5G router in pass through. No real dramas setting it up. All in all a bit expensive but sorted out lots of little niggles in one hit. Running home network - unraid + vm’s + ai + tv’s + work + mesh with 3 nodes.
Review: No issues so far, perfect for 2.5Gbps networking. - So far, zero issues. I held off reviewing this until I've used it for a while. And I can't fault it. The WiFi 7 is a bit of a gimmick, it's just as good as a decent WiFi 6 router, there's no 6Ghz but for most British internet connections you don't need anything better. My reasoning for buying this was the 2.5Gbps networking and it works perfectly. Transfering files from PC to PC in my house now occurs at around 270MB/s which is roughly 2.4Gbps so I'd say that's perfect. If you've got a homelab server setup, lots of PCs with 2.5Gbps LAN this will be great. Our home connection is 1Gbps and via the 2.5Gbps port on our ISP router in modem mode we get 1.2Gbps, that doesn't change via this router.

## Features

- Blazing-fast WiFi 7 tech boosts throughput up to 7200Mbps with Multi-Link Operation and 4096-QAM.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for wired networks, great router overall.
*by E***E on 15 December 2024*

I have 10gbe fibre to my server and 10gb rj45 lan to pc, then a 2.5gb backhaul to my zen node and a couple of other devices. The only disadvantage is it doesn't have wifi 6 (my node does though) so it's not the best wifi 7 like the ROG But that doesn't have a fibre port. So, for me, this is the prefect setup. Specify by IP the main phones to give priority signal, built in ai protection. It's packed with features including vpn fusion where i can specify which devices live on a VPN. So if you need the fastest wifi 7 find another router. If you want a solid all rounder this is the one.
