The only thing to note about these units is that the ethernet surge protection is only 10/100. At least it was. I dont believe they have updated this over the years.
Another option is to use the coax surge before the modem. While I have found this to be an issue with some protectors/modems/cable service because it does attenuate the signal, it was fine on the smaller version of this unit when I set it up this way for a friend. Interestingly the 10/100 limit because an issue when I installed an https://www.asus.com/us/Networking/RT-AC86U/specifications for her. It simply would not connect if passed through the ethernet surge connection while the old N66u worked. I did not think that the wan port would not work with 10/100 but the spec is specific RJ45 for Gigabits BaseT for WAN x 1, RJ45 for 10/100/1000/Gigabits BaseT for LAN x 4.
I changed the code, try they new one.as usual, nothing works for me.promo code gets me $22 discount from $189, which barely covers the taxes...
