I used to run a WRT54G back in the day with the hacked firmware on it, and this new router feels like a modern throwback to that. I love having control again. I’ve got a bunch of devices using the MLO WiFi feature and it’s stupid fast.
What VPN do you use? I have Mullvad configured on it, but some websites don’t like it, so I have to be careful with it blocking important stuff on work computers.






Having the guest WiFi off the VPN is smart. I hadn’t thought of that.
I’ll be honest, I only just learned about MLO. Basically what I know is that it automatically switches bands based on needs, and iirc it can use multiple at once. I’ve found that our WiFi speeds on all devices have been faster, and devices that support WiFi 6 and 7 are super fast. I still run the standard 2.4 and 5ghz to swap over to, but the additional MLO SSID has been fun to experiment with. No specific use cases. Just have a lot of streaming and gaming devices that need the bandwidth.
