The Pook

been using it since you recommended it, already saved 2 hours wish more people used it so some more niche channels were properly blocked but I'm too lazy to contribute to it

if Ryzen 9000 wasn't 1 month away I'd keep it. return it and wait.

breaking news: unverified release date that we speculated might not be accurate, therefore we speculate that it may happen later

hard to have a CEL if you've never driven it boom roasted

of all the CELs that's probably the best

Probably should've said the TP-Link, I was talking about the Deco BE85. They don't disallow it on everything (at least they didn't, maybe they do now for their newer stuff).

I'm still on AC and haven't ran anything newer at home. We've been playing with 7 at work (U7 Pro APs) and it's been noticeably less shite than expected but you're looking at >$1000 to get into the Ubiquiti ecosystem.

roaming and auto-negotiation issues mostly, TP-Link specifically doesn't (or at least didn't) offer a way to rollback firmware and on more than one occasion they released firmware that was worse than the firmware it was replacing. I'm still on AC and waiting for it to mature (also poor)

WiFi 7 isn't ready for consumers yet, the two "best" options (Deco BE85 and Velop Pro 7) are pushing your budget and neither are problem free. if you can't wait a year or two for them to not be half-baked then go 6e, IMO.

Unigine (all, Heaven + Valley + Superposition) have native Linux clients and 3DMark can work through Proton.

if it's free, yes (thx in advance) is it a magic 3090 with DLSS 3 frame gen?

I don't even need a big performance bump if the power savings are significant and I get more VRAM. Give me ~+5-10% 3080 Ti performance @ 200W with DLSS 3 and 24GB of VRAM and I'll buy it yesterday.

it should automagically disable if it's in AP mode (and it should be off if NAT is enabled on your primary router) but turning it off sometimes breaks stuff in some dumber SOHO routers. if turning it on lets you access the admin panel then you have your answer. otherwise I'd assume it's a security/firewall issue. kinda curious tho

what happens if you enable NAT (or hairpin NAT if it's an option)?

butt y I rarely watch YouTube on my phone but when I do it watch through Firefox and I don't get any ads just using uBlock Origin + ADP. I haven't tested PiHole solo on my phone but it doesn't work for blocking ads on either of my SmartTVs so I kinda assumed it wouldn't.

you can use one singular subnet. both TP-Link and Netgear allow you to set a router to AP Mode (at least on most models). if you can do that then you'll be fine. the ports on the AP-router will work as normal unless they did some shenanigans to disable them. if you put a WiFi router into bridge/AP mode then it stops acting like a router and turns into a switch. if it's something that a switch can do, then (assuming your router's software allows it) then your new WiFi-router-turned-AP can do it too. if everything is on one subnet and you want it to stay that way then should be 1-2 clicks to setup and have working.

I'm running PiHole too (one on a RPi 4 and a 2nd virtualized in Hyper-V) but I only use it for my phone and the 2 SmartTVs on my network. It's next to useless for YouTube adblocking though. I assume UBlock Orgin is doing all the heavy lifting in your situation

I haven't tested just running one or the other, but both work in tandem just fine. When YouTube started the anti-adblock tirade I had to update both almost daily or it'd break and give me a warning, but I haven't had any issues otherwise.
