    Why AMTM format command (FD) requires a router reboot?

    Title says it all. Just curious why this is mandatory. Would CTRL-C cancel the reboot? Also I see I can format from the GUI, but there is no ext4 which required for Diversion. Why it's possible in SSH to format in ext4 but not from GUI? And when GUI completes a format does it also require a...

    Diversion on AX88U Pro, Entware gone and strange issue

    Brand new router received the same day 3004.388.4 was released so I installed it, then Diversion which installed Entware and finally uiDivStats. I bought a tiny 64GB USB key for this new router. Now I don't look at my router stats that much but today I found out the USB key was showing on the...

    My PC is wired into a RT-AC1900P and the second wired port is used by a powerline adapter for one of my son computer and when he starts downloading, he's almost killing my connection, my ping gets very bad. There must be a way to avoid this? I took a look at it once and he was downloading at...

    DNS-over-TLS questions

    I don't play much in my router settings. For some reason today I took a look at the DNS I have in place for a few years (FamilyShield) and I saw the DoT and started reading about it and thought maybe I should start using this feature. Here are my current setup and now that I turned on DoT it...

    Powerline G.hn vs AV2 discussions

    Now that my both my sons have a computer but no ethernet cable in the walls and WiFi is not optimal in their room, I was looking at poweline adapters. It's at that moment I've leanred about the new G.hn specification which seems to be an improvement over AV2 but strangely enough this...

    What would be a good extender for RT-AC1900U?

    When I say good I mean in overall range and security. Brand does not matter as long as security is fine. Router is currently in basement and 2 floors above in opposite corner it's quite difficult for my son to get good signal so plan is to add such a device on first floor. I know moving the...

    Router firmware rarely includes ASLR, DEP, or RELRO protections, study finds.

    There is an interesting article here but I'm not sure I understand clearly the results... I don't want to steal the image from the article to post it here but are we looking to get 100% in all 4 middle columns? How come we are so far from this? I guess there is no need to worry if results are...

    Traffic Analyzer - Statistic and eavesdropping

    I haven't enabled any part of the router where it ask to accept Trend Micro EULA like most of the stuff in AiProtection, I don't need this anyway. But I see the Traffic Analyzer - Statistic section could be great to use and when I turn it on it asks to accept Trend Micro EULA. Now I wonder why...

    Playing old arcade games on a QNAP

    I thought I would post being a member here and now an owner of a QNAP NAS. A few days ago I asked on QNAP forum if MAME could be packaged and a few days later one QNAP employee posted the package. I quickly tested it so he knew he could officially post it...

    RT-AC66U opinions?

    Power supply died on my old WRT610N Linksys late afternoon. In panic I rushed to the store before it was too late and bought the RT-AC66U. Then I thought about going to the electronic shop to buy an universal power supply but it was too late, shop was closed. I would sure save lots of money. I...

    What software on Mac to test routers?

    I plan to buy a router and do some comparative tests to see if it's any better than my current one. Actual router location is second floor so I will select 3 spots in the house to do some tests then switch with new router and redo the same tests. I have access to a MacBook Pro (girlfriend) and...

    DIR-859 anyone? No review up here.

    Anyone own this router? I'm looking for inputs... I don't trust reading Amazon reviews anymore. I still own my WRT610N v1 which still works perfectly but was thinking about upgrading. Just like Tim, I think some of latest routers are a bit overkill so I was looking for a decent router at a...

    R6400 retest

    NETGEAR asked us to position the outer two antennas at 45° for the retest; their recommended position. Would have been a great occasion to also test at 0° and compare results thus we would know if their recommended position makes any difference. First, not sure every company specify...

    I still own a WRT-610N v1 and was wondering if I should upgrade to RT-AC56U. The 610 still works fine and do the job but it's getting old... So while I was looking aroung for the RT-AC56U I come across the RT-AC55U which looks like a recent AC1200. I was not able to find any review or...
