The TP-Link TL-ER7206 is the better model from the SafeStream Gigabit Multi-WAN series and it was designed to act as the security gateway to an Omada system. So, it’s very similar to the Zyxel USG Flex 100 and probably closer in functionality to the Ubiquiti ER-X, especially since it has a multitude of WAN ports … Read more
If you’re wondering how long modems last, know that most of them can be used for up to a decade and that’s because the ISPs aren’t known for their quick adoption of speedier Internet connections.

I am fairly certain that when you ask if you can have two routers on one modem, you don’t really mean a main router and then a secondary device that will work as an access point (daisy-chaining – we will explore this option as well), but multiple Internet connections coming from a single cable modem … Read more

There is less RAM and flash memory, there are no USB ports, so you can’t connect any external storage devices, there is no support for WPA3 … Read more

So, the Asus RT-AX68U should hit the right spot from … Read more
