CPU and Ram is the same, the only difference is MX10600 has 2 x 5ghz bands (one ac one ax) and the MX8500 has 1x 5ghz ax and the third band is 6ghz.
If you have no 6ghz clients you won't see any difference. Also the 6ghz band has a ~50% shorter range than 5ghz.

Suggestion: (1) Disable node steering. (2) Turn off all child nodes (3) Turn the child nodes back on 1 at a time starting with the unit furthest from the parent.

Since I have all wired backhaul, mx8503 would not make a diff but this deal is pretty close to the ln1301 deals.
Roku as a system is much more locked down than other options; furthermore, Roku's primary objective is data collection with streaming its method of doing so. AGH will block some ads on some Roku apps, but it can't block everything because ads are embedded in the streams rather than being called from known ad servers. Its biggest impact on Roku specifically is blocking much of that data collection and tracking.
The more meaningful impact of AGH (or Pi-hole) is network-wide blocking of ads, data collection, and telemetry data on all devices. I don't get ads on my phone - even on free apps with obnoxious ad placement - and every browser (including Chrome) gets adblocking nearly as good as uBlock.
Not really sure what they meant by "Testing revealed that this USB-based network card can achieve the theoretical maximum speed in local network iperf3 tests. However, in public network tests like Speedtest, it shows a maximum download speed of 1 Gbps and an upload speed of 40 Mbps."
I'm assuming that they have a faster internet connection than that.

So if I use the 1) onn device and 2) projectivity launcher (app or vpn?) and SmartTube app on the onn device to stream from my phone to YouTube on TV without ads? It gets complicated quickly so I've just been casting my S24 which has pirated YouTube premium screen onto the Roku OS
Set up was almost the same as LN1301 with one major exception. Have not been able to connect via a web page to the child nodes. Whenever I put the IP address in, the web page redirects to the web page of the master. On the LN1301, you can set the child node wifi bands and bandwidth. You cannot do that if you cannot reach the child nodes on the web page. Anyone else have this issue?
Otherwise as people have stated, the MX5803 trades one 5Ghz band for a 6Ghz band, On the 5Ghz band, you can choose on the master, one of the the lower or higher Ghz ones. On the 6Ghz band, interestingly, it defaults to a WPA3 conection and WPA2/WPA3 is not an option like the lower bands,.
