Oh wow thanks very much for the update that sounds promising!

It is but when you see the firmware releases across the models such as all the ones on .6 seem to get the same bug fixes but it also means all the units are equally stuck on the base feature set as the day they were bought. Shame really as other vendors do add features over time but granted fewer models

Done a dirty upgrade of that version – no issues so far.

would be nice if Asus actually developed their OS with new features rather than just the odd bugfix here and there though.

Thanks, I did suggest via the form in the UI a while back but assumed it didn’t work as didn’t even get a notification. If you’re able to pass on directly that would be super helpful.

Many uk ISPs now support baby jumbos (currently using on EE myself and other open reach based connections should work too). Not exactly turbocharging the connection but seeing as PPPOE isn’t going away soon being able to remove the fragmentation whilst still being able to change other settings on that web ii page is helpful :)

Whats the best way to request a feature from Asus? It would be useful in the web ui to be able to set baby jumbos (1508 mtu on the wan) as if your isp supports it then you can get full 1500mtu without fragmentation.

 

you can do it via the cli but then it locks the webpage from further editing as it throws up an error the mtu is set too high so you can’t edit and change any other settings on the webpage directly.

would be a nice thing to fix

glad to see such extensive work they’re doing on the BT10 :(

 

Merlin/gnuton support can’t come fast enough

Interesting.  I wish merlin would support the BT10 router, cake qos does make a difference.

Have you upgraded to fttp now or will it be daisychaining off the dsl router?

iPhone Air demand failed to meet Apple’s expectations and the company’s supply chain is scaling back shipments and production, reports Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

Suppliers are expected to reduce capacity by more than 80 percent between now and the first quarter of 2026, and some components with longer lead times will be discontinued by the end of 2025.

 

According to Kuo, the ‌iPhone Air‌’s poor performance suggests that the iPhone 17 and 17 Pro models already “cover the majority of high-end user demand,” so there is little room for new market segments.

There have been multiple reports suggesting the ‌iPhone Air‌ has failed to catch on with consumers. Last week, Japan’s Mizuho Securities said that Apple would reduce iPhone Air production by a million units because of underwhelming sales performance, and earlier today, Nikkei said that there is “virtually no demand” for the ‌iPhone Air‌, and that Apple would “drastically” cut production.

Interesting – I guess a premium priced phone with so many compromises for thinness just wasn’t going to catch on.  I’m surprised it even came out given Jonny Ive isn’t there anymore. He was responsible for removing all the ports on the Macbook Pro in favour of thinness which they ended up going back the other way on. Thought they would have learned the lesson.  Then again, I guess the iphone air is the precursor to the Foldable one due soon, probably with much of the technology from that.

Best to do an ethernet run, those lengths are fine, and cat6 is cheap these days and perfect for the use case.

 

Fairly easily to just generally run a cable and pin it to the skirting etc. But when I had Ethernet run in my house, the least disruptive but hidden way to do it was rod it up the cavity, across the loft, and then down the cavity in the intended room. Saved any open heart surgery to run cables.

I updated with the enablement package manually but seem to have zero of the new features like new start menu, speed test etc.

Yeah indeed just ran the upgrade using the update function in the UI, didn’t reset to factory defaults. If I get any weird behavior I may go back and do that but seems to be fine so far.

I did a dirty upgrade and it’s been fine for me

Interesting update. I wonder what i’ll be missing out on by not factory resetting afterwards? defaults on the password and upnp (which i’d enable again anyway?)

 

Not sure I want to go through and re-do all the settings again. Pretty chunky update though
