Hi Jeff, I had just finished connecting my Asus GT-AX-11000 to my 10Gb network and put your KZbin on and by happenstance I came across your posting about a problem that I had just worked out. I had just finished connecting my 2.5Gb Asus port to my MikroTic CRS305-1G-4S+IN Switch (Also works with CRS309-1G-8S+IN). The 2.5Gb Asus Port can be used with WLAN or LAN. What makes this work is the SFP+ adapter that is connected to the Switch. I used a Cat 8, RJ45 cable but something less shielded should work. The SFP+ connector that is necessary is Wiitek 10GBase-T SFP+ RJ45 30m CIS (P/N: SFP-10G-T). I learned of this on the SaveTheHome site on KZbin (Comparing 9 Popular SFP+ to 10Gbase-T Adapters at 9’ 15”). Since you showed your MikroTic Switch all you need is the right SFP+ adapter, it works great and now allows my wired network to communicate with some of the faster Wi-Fi connections that are flowing through my GT-AX-11000. Hope this helps.

These cheap expanders seem to be getting more expensive now versus two years ago, when they were like $15 for 1 => 4 expanders when crypto mining was more popular. Even at only 500MB/s, that could likely make network + disk IO (with cheap SATA expansion card like old 3Ware or newer LSI or Marvell controllers/hbas.

The basic syntax is *_scp path/to/file/or/dir/to/copy username@hostname:/path/to/destination_* . This also works the other way round. That's useful for some things, but if you need to do more ssh also supports mounting the remote filesystem using *_sftp_*

Cool vid. Also, Intel just released the ax210 chip... adding Wi-Fi 6 capability into the 6 GHz spectrum. But there’s no such router on the market yet...so we’re limited to 5 GHz for now...

Yeah, I was reading up on it, and it seems like it *will* be nice (even less congestion since everyone seems to have 5 GHz currently), but it'll take some time to get there.

@@JeffGeerling yeah. And Wi-Fi 7 will add 320 MHz channels as well as other innovations in terms of using the multiple frequencies (2.4, 5, and 6 GHz simultaneously for data transmission). The next few years will be very interesting in tech. I am very excited. I’m using the raspberry pi as a pi-hole server and UniFi network controller. I’m blocking most if not all ads on my network. thank you for the cool videos!! Keep up the good work!

Put a 10Gig wired nic on a raspberry pi, one with SFP+ port to go with the Mikrotik switch, and a short direct attach copper cable in between.

You didn't use sudo to mount the card (at 7:29), you used sudo mnt (slip of the tongue?) But one of the comments here forced me to find out why sudo always failed with "unable to resolve". (It turned out that the ORIGINAL /etc/hosts file, the one originally written to the SD card, had comments that weren't commented out. Ouch! (But thanks for forcing me to look. 30 years of *nix, and I just never bothered to solve the pain.)

The standard Pi 4B inbuilt wifi gets 433Mbit in AC mode if you get the settings right without installing any other drivers. That's 80MHz channel width single stream AC wifi. Got this working in AP mode, took a lot of hacking around.thanks to hostapd's difficulty.

Been struggling to get an Intel AC8265 past 100Mbps. Even when connected to a 802.11ax router. Does the Pi use an Intel chip?

Not perfect Jeff, I think you pronounced Asus incorrectly. Oh no, you actually covered that too! Good job

10:53 more than just "the check that triggered it", more like "*delete the additional iwl_configure_rxq(..) call*, since it mishandles the device family" (?) 11:35 It would be interesting to see what that function is trying to do, that doesn't work for this specific wifi card.
