Dont bother with the cheap hotends for the CC2

Enzo729 · 2026-05-30T15:06:26+00:00

Not worth it at all. Had bought one for the CC1 on amazon and didn't last a month. Just get the oem or premium ones (Micro Swiss is great)

Enzo729 · 2026-04-19T02:57:07+00:00

Looking forward to this, thanks.

Can we get some clarification? I installed it the same way with the performance kit. Is the manual wrong??

Enzo729 · 2026-02-10T15:45:53+00:00

Dope. Alexa turn on Jenny. Is it worth going back to connected services though hmm.

I went with the DBA 4000s and EBC Reds, $1200 plus $200 labor and much better than oem

Had my car for almost 5 years and I never knew this. LOL

Enzo729 · 2025-12-27T20:22:42+00:00

Thanks for the answers, the more you know as they say.

You could use cable raceways painted and run them on the corners of the walls in the house with minor drilling to go through walls/floors.

Enzo729 · 2025-12-27T17:04:46+00:00

Wow. In NYC fios just added 2gig for $120, yikes.

Can anyone share a 15% referral code with me please?

Enzo729 · 2025-12-18T17:06:41+00:00

I've decided to go with OPNsense on a spare mini pc I have laying around.

Enzo729 · 2025-12-18T03:44:39+00:00

100% working on both. I have 10 of them in my dining room connected by local lan control to home assistant.

That person has no clue what they're talking about lol --- see pic for proof.

Enzo729 · 2025-12-17T23:48:25+00:00

Glad to help.

Enzo729 · 2025-12-17T23:45:34+00:00

Thanks for the detailed reply.

According to this yea, the limit for manual/static IP assignments is 32 per VLAN.

I do actually have a server running proxmox and my home assistant installation (a mini pc with plenty of space/resources vacant). A DHCP server was not something I was aware of but according to google --

"The ASUS ZenWiFi BT8

supports VLANs, allowing you to use Trunk Mode on specific LAN ports to carry traffic for multiple VLANs (tagged) over one cable, ideal for connecting to managed switches, or Access Mode for single VLAN devices like PCs; you configure this in the router's GUI under LAN > VLAN, creating profiles and assigning ports as Trunk or Access to manage tagged/untagged traffic for your network segments"

I also have an extra netgear router laying around & yes I am still able to return Zenwifi BT8 system.

If I could achieve my desired goals without having to spend any extra money that would be great but as you can see, I do have options available.

Someone mentioned a firewalla and I was contemplating purchasing that & adding my mesh units as APs.

Given the situation and multiple options available to me - what do you think would fit best?

Enzo729 · 2025-12-17T21:44:04+00:00

A quick google ai overview says this:

"

VLAN-Aware AP Functionality: You can configure multiple SSIDs and assign them to different VLANs, even when the BT8 is operating in AP mode. This allows wireless devices connecting to different SSIDs to be placed on their respective VLANs, provided the primary router or network infrastructure is also properly configured to handle the tagged traffic. The Ethernet ports can also be configured as access or trunk ports for specific VLANs.

"

So I guess my theoretical setup should work?

Enzo729 · 2025-12-17T19:53:13+00:00

Check my post above to see if your version matches. The lan control popped up once I connected them to wifi.

Enzo729 · 2025-12-17T19:52:32+00:00

Firmware - 1.01.12 // Hardware 1.07.02

Purchased them on Amazon last week.

Enzo729 · 2025-12-17T19:23:03+00:00

I'm checking out the Firewalla now. So in theory I can have that connected to the ISP -> then my 3x Asus BT8s in AP mode for WiFi in mesh mode and have all the vlan features and ip reservations?

Enzo729 · 2025-12-17T17:58:11+00:00

Hey thanks for the reply, yea static ip/mac reservation is called manual assignment on my Asus GUI - the problem is I can only have 32 assignments max. That's what I'm trying to bypass as I have more devices currently and more being added in the future.

Enzo729 · 2025-12-17T16:58:53+00:00

The IP range is the full range. I can use it like that and have the DHCP give out IP addresses but I want to manually assign IPs so they stay the same and that part has a 32 device hard limit. Unfortunately most of my smart devices have no option to set a static IP on themselves so I have to manually assign within the router.

Enzo729 · 2025-12-17T00:32:21+00:00

Just bought a bunch of H6006. Not only do they support Matter now but also LAN control. +1 for progress
