Hello.
How to mount Chateau PRO ax on the wall?
I didn't see any wall mounts in the photo/video of the router.
3D printer + some creativity: the indentation in bottom part of a device lets to make a hug that let to slide te MT into.
Example with long hole for cables
Or get a pre-made generic wall mount (or a small shelf).
Either a "minimal" one like (example):

or a "decorative" one like (examples):

The DF5 model is inconvenient.
The Ethernet ports are inconveniently located.
With the router in limbo position, it's difficult to connect cables to the Ethernet ports.
I'll wait for the release of the new Hap Ax model.
I have never come across such connectors, I have never seen them.
I'm talking about the connector Г .
or flex ones
That flex flat one is perfect to pass through windows frames if needed or under door leafs if needed.
Time before someone thinks they are earpieces and sticks them in their ears ... 3...2...1...
A normal connector on a flat (not round) cable can be bent at 90° needing very little space for the curve, the 90° RJ45 connector may be useful for some specific device that has the port in a recessed cavity covered by a lid, otherwise a normal flat cable fits everywhere.
But there are 90° converters/adpters like:

Should I wait for the new hap ax4 model?
Or should I get the Chateau PRO ax or hAP be3 Media?
I need a router for my apartment to replace my old keenetik router.
I'm already using the hap ax3, which is a good router.
But it doesn't have an SFP port,1 Gb Ethernet ports and Wi-Fi 6.
The hAP be3 has been announced and will probably be available at the end of february.
The hAp Ax 4 (if it will ever exist with this or another name) has not yet been even announced.
In any case all the latest devices (hex refresh, new hex S and Ax S) have had (soem still remain to be addressed) some initial issues, so if I were you I would wait not only the release but also some time during which these possible wrinkles will have been ironed out.
