  • Expensive, but I use an asus GT-AXE 16000 and an AX-11000 in a mesh to cover my house with over 100 smarthome devices. The routers are top end, with features galore. They auto-switch devices to the most performant connection they can support. The 16000 has a 2.5Gbe WAN port, and 2 10Gbe ports, so it’s future facing. It supports wifi 6/6e and my phone speed tests at over 1000MB/sec on it.



  • I use an asus GT-AXE16000 which has a 2.5 GBe WAN port, and supports 2 10GBe ports, wired to my computer with a 10GBe adapter. I have 1.4GBe bidirectional fiber, and get the full bandwidth to my machines that connect 10GBe.

    It’s wifi support is unbelievable. I use a AI mesh with it, and it covers the house, the yard (wifi sprinkler in the garage, and wifi pool and hot tub) and every smart device (around 100 total). Supports wifi 6, my phone transfers 1000MB/sec both ways over wifi.

    Complete features, including an AI firewall that’s stellar. Expensive, but very worth it.


  • Look into cyber power ups. I have 3, one for each array, and one for my PC.

    I don’t need 3, I bought one used it until the battery needed replacement, bought a second to have one for each array. Then changed my mind and wanted to return the 2nd one for a rack mounted one. Contacted Amazon, the second one I bought wasn’t returnable, so they refunded it and let me keep it and sent me the rack mounted one instead.

    They have a very long runtime and work great with the NAS arrays. Their USB cable tells the array to shut down.

    They condition power too and level out surges and dropouts. They come with a crazy warranty covering the UPS itself and all the equipment connected to them, and are in the neighborhood of $200-300.
