Why are you promoting container support on devices with as little as 512MB RAM? Memory is so cheap today!
There are all kinds of containers, it’s not all memory intensive software. There are tiny tools you can use as well.
L009 is our low cost device. Adding RAM will make it not so cheap anymore. We have other products with more RAM
Marketing seems to go of the rails.
I think the L009 is a perfect fit for homeowners that need more then the hex and not as much as the 5009, basically anyone with a 1 gig connection and with room to grow to a 2.5 gig connection. Makes sense to me, almost as much sense as Zerotrust Cloudflare tunnel as an options package for all devices.
Especially because the no container bit…
As for the 2.4ghz wifi only… Mixed reaction. Good enough to support IOT devices and guest wifi, but home users want 5ghz for their own traffic etc…
But there are plenty of other vendor APs out there to consider for this as well
no mention of ipv6 fasttracking.
cpu powers are not enough to utilize 1gige in standard tracking.
It says “2011… container support: no”. But well, 2011 supported MetaROUTER.
It does not have 5GHz wireless?
Any plans for a future dual band version of the L009? 2.4 only makes this of limited value, with 5 GHz it would be a quite attractive offering.
According to block diagram shown in YouTube video, Eth2-Eth8 and SFP1 - they all share one 2.5Gb/s link to chipset ?
I’m aware that corners needed to be cut, but isn’t that a bit too extreme ?
Can’t find datasheet but i don’t think so, that chip is 11 port ethernet switch chip.
Sorry, I misunderstood you.
That is not so bad, right? It is sufficient for typical home-router use where internet is on ether1 and home devices are on the other ports.
Ok, it is not optimal for use of SFP1. It would preferably be reconfigurable so that SFP1 is on the direct connection to the SoC and ether1-ether8 on the second connection.
But it is not dramatic, for typical use where most traffic is download it should still be able to do something with the 2.5Gbps, probably limited by CPU anyway.
it must be a stressful time for marketing, not an easy task. The implementations and applications are numerous. Everyone is looking for their optimal mix of options.
Compare it to the hAP ax3, if you have more than 25 wifi devices only connecting to your LAN via dedicated AP’s, using RADIUS authentication. And see my dilemma. (e.g. L6 needed)
Still L009UiGS-RM … very nice!

All 5009 should have L6, when compared to hAP ax3 (but L6 there was a marketing glitch, no?)
Well, at the moment I am more bothered by the bug in VLAN assignment via RADIUS even for a single client…
VLAN assignment via RADIUS, on WLAN or wifi(wave2) interfaces? Seems quite different in what I read on this.
WLAN driver based versus bridge setting based in wifiwave2/AX ??? Not checked, no hardware. But CAPSMAN (wifiwave2) suggests things like that.
I optimized my WiFi by using only a single SSID and using VLAN assignment via RADIUS (user-manager) to get each client on the correct VLAN. This is on classic Wireless, not wifiwave2. It turns out it does not work correctly: the client receives directed traffic and broadcasts, but not multicasts from that assigned VLAN.

Do you think 128MB of NAND is really enough? I know we can attach a USB stick but that worries me as it’s protruding out of the front panel and one might either pull it out or even break the usb port…
RB3011 has 1GB of RAM. Other than the colour it seems the L009UiGS-RM is more a replacement for the RB3011 rather than the RB2011.
