The newest firmware has more settings in the app (port forwarding, DNS settings, WAN settings, Static IPs, UPnP), so they're listening to the users and they're getting these things more in line with the other AC routers in terms of Advanced Options

I run a webserver, a couple of POE cameras, a Sling Box, and a couple of other items on my network that require port mappings (and thus static ips).

So, I'm reduced to using the On as a wifi access point with the airport extreme providing routing, static ips, and port mapping above it in the stack

It will pop up a warning that says that you will lose support for WAN configuration, UPnP, port forwarding, client static IPs, and DNS settings.

It's simple and more modern than a "blocky" router.- You can assign static IPs to certain

The On supports static ips, but barely.

You can't add the DHCP configs via Mac address, you can only assign static ips to devices that have connected to the ON via DHCP once.

Want to manage static IPs or port forwarding

The bad - I've been wanting to assign static IP's to a couple of devices that are hardwired via a switch I have connected, but when looking at the network and trying to find which Mac address is assigned to what device, the current UI refreshes the list every time you look at a device then go back

It has an old tech look about it and is pretty big compared to the aforementioned cheaper router`s, but if you have burn money, then I would recommend this router.

My Asus would still do about 24MB/s, but the internet would practically die when the transfers were going on.3
