    [SOLVED] Upgrade CPU from 1700 to 3700x or upgrade motherboard+CPU?

    Okay I was wondering if that was what he was referring to. I do have two m.2 NVMe ssds, the one is in the ultra slot and it's a 1tb WD black sn750 (think that's the name) but seems fast enough as is now....

    Can you explain a little more what you mean by this? My ram right now is running as advertised the 3200. I knew it was an issue before but maybe there's something I dont know

    [SOLVED] Upgrade CPU from 1700 to 3700x or upgrade motherboard+CPU?

    My build currently has a asrock taichi x370 motherboard and the first gen Ryzen 1700. This board with bios updates is capable of running the 3700x and seems like it has a decent upgrade performance (from videos been watching of test on youtube). So my question is would I be better of you think...

    [SOLVED] New ASUS ZenWifi AX (XT8)

    be great to have it to be prepared for future...i couldn't find it. Either way, when you say inexpensive router to use as a node....does the asus mesh system allow any router to be used as a node? or are you referring to do it a different way and not do it through asus? Also if i wanted to do...

    I'm not familiar with merlin? Do I need to have this on my 86u i currently have?

    [SOLVED] New ASUS ZenWifi AX (XT8)

    Think this may be the router referring to. According to CNET it's the 86u just with the wifi6 in a sense...hence its ax versus ac https://www.cnet.com/google-amp/news/asus-rt-ax86u-wi-fi-6-router-review/

    [SOLVED] New ASUS ZenWifi AX (XT8)

    uhhhh......well now i'm torn here. I get both sides since wifi6 is newer....but i also read that have a tri band would be better for a network such as mesh.....so it has that fall back band instead of using a dual band so when falls back is using a band might want. But since we also said be best...

    [SOLVED] New ASUS ZenWifi AX (XT8)

    So are you saying I should stick more with the 86u, and purchase a couple. I have a spot in the living room with an ethernet running for the chormecast, however i'd just hook up the router to the internet then run another cat cable to the chrome cast. And if i got a third is it possible to try...

    I see what you're talking about with the moca...converts the cable to power a rj45

    [SOLVED] New ASUS ZenWifi AX (XT8)

    Uh be honest I was only looking into having two...so no cable outlets but I could run it up next to an outlet and just have an outlet with rj45 port... think be a dual gang then.

    [SOLVED] New ASUS ZenWifi AX (XT8)

    Right I know coverage is by the antenna signals etc. however it's advertised to cover 5500 sq ft where as my current router is not (mean obviously i think it's because there's two system set up) and I was unaware that wifi 6 has a worse signal so you're saying the speeds may not be as fast as...
