Calibrating delay loop (skipped), value calculated using timer frequency.. 38.40 BogoMIPS (lpj=192000) On top of that, with the new Orbi, you can use it to create and manage up to four separate Wi-Fi networks for administration, employees, guests, and IoT devices. Virtual Wi-Fi networks (SSIDs) are nothing new, but it seems with the Orbi Pro, you can easily handle them while maintaining advanced functions, such as VLAN, client isolation, etc. One Gigabit or 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet LAN port. Two Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, Link Aggregation Mode4 optional. Two Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports The only thing I'd ask to change is that the dropdown for services is someone restrictive. AFP is dying, AirPlay and Chromecast are good as are scanners and printing, but there should be a middle ground before hitting "All Services". For example, HomeKit is missing which is probably the second most used behind AirPlay/Chromecast. I would suggest giving people a custom option to add something like "_scanner._tcp", "_sonos._tcp", or whatever else. wlan: [9422:I:ANY] wlan_vap_create: 1603: enter. devhandle=0xffffffc033060880, opmode=IEEE80211_M_HOSTAP, flags=0x1Our experience with the previous versions of this hardware confirms just how useful it can be, but this is a disturbingly expensive option when compared with consumer WiFi 6 hardware. Please, don’t buy this for home use, it would be complete overkill unless you own a sprawling mansion, zeppelin hangar or live in a castle. Therefore, at close range, connections of over 500mbits per second are entirely plausible. But that’s a single connection at close range, and a second connection at that speed would consume all the bandwidth that 5GHz has to offer (1200Mbit). wlan: [7879:I:TIF] init_deinit_add_11ax_modes: 1467: hw_mode_id = 1 phy_id = 1 wireless modes = 680680c
According to Netgear, the new system — designed primarily for office environments, though it will work anywhere — comes with advanced business features, fast speeds, and better reliability in return for the high cost. wlan: [9422:I:ANY] ol_ath_vap_set_param: 2139: VDEV params:HE su_bfee:1|su_bfer:1|mu_bfee:0|mu_bfer:1|dl_muofdma:1|ul_muofdma:1|ul_mumimo:1 ath11k c000000.wifi: failed to fetch board data for bus=ahb,qmi-chip-id=0,qmi-board-id=255 from ath11k/IPQ8074/hw2.0/board-2.binRelease notes for firmware 3.2.3.100 states “ When link aggregation applies on WAN ports, removing the cable from one of the ports disconnects Internet access. Workaround: Keep two cables on aggregated WAN ports.” I believe the earlier firmware had the same “workaround” text. While the aggregation available on the SXR80 allows fast access to NAS for multiple devices, the failover protection that the Nighhawk had with its IEEE... aggregation is not available on Netgear’s premier business mesh system at the present time. Whether that can be improved with firmware is unknown.
I do understand your point that if I had my NAS connected to a level 3 switch that supported IEEE.... aggregation and all of my devices were wired to that switch directly rather than to the SCR80 those devices would have both speed and NAS failover protection in the event one cable went down. However, that would require such a switch and require me to run a lot more wire.
