I don't play any multiplayer games, so that will have to wait to some later time where I feel like trying hunt for something to test.

Check your System Log if you see events related to miniupnpd cleaning ups or ISP renewing your IPv6 allocation or lease.

I don't have a gaming console. Consoles can also report moderate NAT with a working port forward because it's not identified as Fullcone NAT. The last change to UPnP was actually in 388.9_2 itself, where miniupnpd was updated to 2.3.8. There has been no change since then.

Could it be disappearing because your ISP renewed/changed your IPv6 lease? Honestly, IPv6 pinhole is one of these things that since nobody ever uses, I doubt the miniupnpd author even tested its implementation. He probably just implemented the official RFC specs, and left it at that. Whether...

If things go like in previous generations, I suspect we might see a "second gen Wifi 7" platfrom from Broadcom before that. They did it with WIfi 6 (BCM4912) and Wifi 5 (the move from SDK7 to HND 5.04). I could see them potentially launching a BCM4920, with either a node shrink or a clock...

NAT type is when you have a remote connection connecting with you, it determines how the port mapping will be handled. Whether NAT type is restricted or full cone, a port forward will still work if it's forwarded (i.e. masqueraded or static NAT). It will either be more or less restrictive in...

NAT type and UPnP port forwarding are two totally separate things...

Asus is a 100% Taiwanese company. The US administration is banning based on nation location/ownership, not on the (reported) products flaws. It's is purely a political decision, it has nothing to do with product security, except they use that as an excuse to justify their decisions. In the...

iperf is used internally by the firmware, including in various closed source portions. That means an upgrade can potentially break functionality without me even being able to notice, so I'm not touching it.

Regardless of whether it's deserved or not, if the US administration end up banning TP-Link products, one major impact on customers will be they will most likely lose any warranty support, as TP-Link would be unable, among other things, to provide replacements in case of a defective device...

Then I guess it took two weeks before someone noticed it.

Then you are not running 388.11.

That beta firmware has been out for only 24 hours, so how can you tell that the slowdowns are gone?

No, it's only an issue if you enable and use it. The traffic monitor wouldn't really be of any use in an AP, monitoring would need to be done by the primary router itself.

That would require modifying the language dictionnaries, which I don't do: 1) I don't speak the 20+ languages supported by Asuswrt 2) It would make all future webui GPL merges a nightmare to handle So, anything that I write UI-wise and which does not already have an existing translated string...
