    RT-AC68U QoS and questions about latest Merlin

    not sure what you mean by "routing" here do you mean the asus can issue a /29 real ipv4 subnet as well as ipv6 /48 and also nat? I thought it couldn't - which is why there's (presently) an edgerouter lite 3 [1] (with nat and firewalling turned off) there to make the pppoe connection. The...

    RT-AC68U QoS and questions about latest Merlin

    The extra router replaces [1] the ISP router. I didn't explain clearly, sorry. That's what I mean by "for the pppoe" The connection is fibre. It goes like this, with regard to the asus router: ONT/fibre => ethernet ==> pppoe router ===> 1GB switch [external LAN] ===> asus ac68u ===> internal...

    RT-AC68U QoS and questions about latest Merlin

    for the pppoe connection, I'm getting one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07F7HDRKX/?tag=smallncom-21 Looks like I need to replace the asus for LAN then when the connection gets upgraded edit: i'd really like one of these though, lol...

    RT-AC68U QoS and questions about latest Merlin

    What speed is the asus good up to? I'll limit the bandwidth it can use if need be on either the asus itself or the external LAN it connects to via its WAN interface.

    HW rev is A2 I hope to upgrade the speed to 990/110 in the near future

    OK, think I've sorted it now, thanks for your help :D edit: sorting by device looks like it'll work

    RT-AC68U QoS and questions about latest Merlin

    I guess Merlin still allows the mesh thing? as it's closed source. BTW I guess this website doesn't like long filenames? I had to rename the above attachment because it stuck at 0%.

    RT-AC68U QoS and questions about latest Merlin

    ahhh I didn't realise. There seems no way at first glance of giving voip the very highest priority/guaranteed bandwidth, but Ive not searched very deeply on here or elsewhere yet. It needs like 100% priority and say 2% of the bandwidth to be guaranteed. I thought it'd be a specific packet type...

    RT-AC68U QoS and questions about latest Merlin

    Hi, [Confusingly, a pair of RT-AC68U are badged on the front AC1900] I'm asking this specifically about the RT-AC68U; specific because the router is quite old now and things evolve. The connection is FTTP 110/21. This context is the master mesh node, running a wireless bridge to an identical...

    advice needed regarding a new wired router

    thanks! the ER605 looks like a winner in standalone mode, at that price point. I didn't mention it before, and really should have, but am looking to go 990/110 in the near future and am anxious that the device would be able to handle that speed. I'm unsure a sub-$100 router would be able to...

    advice needed regarding a new wired router

    Hi, I need advice. I'd like to get a wired-only router that *only* routes. Is this possible now? All it needs to do is: a. run pppoe for the fttp connection b. route static ipv4 (/29) c. route "static" [1] ipv6 [1] when it connects, for ipv6 it gets a /64 for ND (neighbour discovery) and a...
