How do I route this

The way to maximize speed or maximize the Internet connection would be to use the GT-BE98 with the 10Gbs WAN connection going to the 5gbs Modem (assuming the 10Gbs port will negotiate downward to 5Gbs). You'd then connect the RT-AX86 to one of the 2.5Gbs LAN ports. If you want a device to actually u

Founders Plan 2GB speed tip (QOS)

Thanks for the tip OP. I got the 2Gbps plan and I am still waiting for my new router to arrive that will handle it, a Ubiquiti Cloud Gateway Max. For now I am stuck with my Asus RT-AX86U that only supports 1Gbps and it wasn't even getting that with QoS enabled.

MyQ Chamberlin stopped connecting to ASUS RT-AX86S

Turns out the problem was a firmware update. My ASUS router has auto-update enabled, and on 9/1 a new firmware (3.0.0.4.388_24386) rolled out that broke MyQ connectivity. I fixed it by manually downgrading to the previous version (3.0.0.4.388_24339) and rebooting the router. After that, MyQ connected

Upgraded from You1000 to You2000 - no new speed - what’s next?

Same here, I have an ASUS RT-AX86U with a 2.5Gbps WAN port but the speed test on the router itself still shows around 900Mbps which is the same as before I upgraded, I checked on various forums and the RT-AX86U can internal support and test 2Gbps speeds. ONT has a 2.5Gbps port and has been confirmed
