    Need buying advice on mini-PC

    So this isn't a NAS question but rather a purpose-built server question. I need a very, very small footprint PC that preferably runs Windows (although Linux would be a possibility). I have a new UPS in an out-of-the way location. I currently monitor the two UPS' I have through USB connections...

    Solved Need Asus travel router...

    I just bought an RV and I need a travel router that can take a USB 4G/5G modem. I know a decent Asus router with RMerlin firmware can do this. My primary need beyond that is decent OpenVPN throughput between this device and my Asus RT-AX88U sitting at my home. I plan to have two server groups...

    Solved Not sure this is the right forum - Asuswrt-Merlin VPN question.

    My understanding is that OpenVPN is single-threaded - 1 instance, 1 CPU. My question is this: If I configure a 2nd VPN server, will it use one of the other 3 CPU cores or will both OpenVPN servers use the same CPU? I want to split the tunneling load if I can, one because it's cleaner (split...

    Solved I'm overlooking something here but cannot connect to LAN through OpenVPN

    I have an AX88U running Merlin 386.1. I went to VPN Server tab and set the server to "on". I left everything default, including "LAN only". I created a new user and applied all the settings. I exported the OVPN file and loaded it in my client. My client connects and status of the tunnel is...

    Block access to internal LAN from wired device?

    I have a work device that I need to connect via wired (it's not wireless). Right now, I have all my work devices on a guest network since they only need Internet access and I don't want them to be able to see (or send malware) to my internal network. Is there a way to quickly and easily do...

    Easy way to see what SSID a device is using?

    On other stock firmware like Netgear and Linksys WRT, the network "map" would show whether a host was connected to main or guest or whatever. On OpenWRT and DD-WRT, it shows connections to interfaces, which are fairly easy to correlate to individual SSID's, particularly for guests. On Asus /...

    Question about offloading Traffic Analyzer stats to USB...

    I realized this morning that my USB 2.0 flash drive was formatted HFS+ so I reformatted it from within the router GUI and changed the FS to FAT. I then reselected the drive in "Tools | Other Settings" and clicked the "Yes" radio button to remove/recreate files. Despite doing this, all of the...

    What's up with the ad banners these days...

    Not sure why the algorithm thinks I need a new furnace (no, I haven't searched for them, discussed them, or even thought about buying a new furnace so Skynet isn't spying on me) but this morning's round of ads was a doozy... :p And no, they aren't adult toys. They're apparently medical...

    OpenVPN noob question

    I got OpenVPN setup and everything is working. I have the client currently running on iOS. What I'm wondering is if there's a way to have the VPN connect to my router any time the local network is not available. I would imagine this could be done on a workstation using some scripting but iOS...

    Need help with cert and DDNS...

    I originally setup 384.14 beta 2 on my RT-AC86U with a local self-signed certificate for managing from the LAN side via HTTPS. No issues there. However, now I want to enable DDNS and I'm having issues. Here's the log output: Dec 4 15:38:42 inadyn[485]: In-a-dyn version 2.5 -- Dynamic DNS...

    Best router for experimenting with Merlin FW?

    I have a Netgear R7800 in production right now, running Voxel's FW. It works great but I forgot how stripped the NG firmware is and I'm wanting to experiment with Merlin to see if it fits my needs better. Here are my requirements: 1) Feature and performance parity with R7800 as best as...

    If you have a Roku and problems with the Attached Devices page, we have a possible workaround...

    A brief explanation of the issue: Attempting to update name, icon, or QoS settings of some devices in the Attached Devices page resulted in a blank grey screen, so affected devices could not be updated/changed. A brief explanation of my findings: Most devices like Android or Apple will strip...

    [SOLVED] Device location issue, need advice...

    I currently have a Netgear R7800 running Kong DD-WRT. I have my 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz interfaces using the same SSID, we have mostly new devices and they pretty reliably switch back and forth. However, we just purchased a new smart TV and it happens to be in a the exact location where it can't...

    Need help with older tech...

    My parents are cutting the cord. Until now, they had an N300 2.4Ghz Belkin which served them just fine but with the addition of a Roku and streaming services, they obviously need an upgrade. I can't find any of the old ranking information for say AC1200 routers since they're so old now. What...

    Side-by-side comparisons, what is the best bang for the buck?

    I currently have a TS-112P. It's a little Marvell Armada box with 512MB of RAM. I'm looking to upgrade to something with a lot more horsepower and I think I've narrowed it down to a 2-bay box. I've attached a screenshot of the 4 models that I'm comparing. What I'd like to know is how much...

    My QNAP NAS has stopped responding to restart/shutdown via GUI

    The last two times they've pushed firmware updates, I've had issues. If you haven't rebooted for a while it asks you to do it before applying the update. I hit okay and the NAS just sits there, it never shuts down. I eventually have to kill it. Any ideas?

    Windows backup solution needed...

    I have 5 Windows PC that I need backed up. I've been using AOMEI since it's free but I'm looking to spend a little money and get something a little more robust. AOMEI paid has most of the features I need but it's not particularly well-supported since it's from China. Here are my needs: I...

    Can I backup a TS-251a to a TS-112P?

    I currently have a TS-112P and it works pretty good. However, I'm wanting to repurpose it as a web server/file storage for a project I'm working on. It seems like a perfect time to upgrade to a 2-bay NAS with Intel CPU so I can do some of the beefier stuff like Virtualization Station. In...

    Anybody using a cloud service to backup their QNAP NAS?

    If so, what service are you using? I've decided it's time to explore off-site backup - something that wouldn't get wiped out in the event we had a horrible disaster here (our house was nearly hit by a tornado in the summer of 2013). Most of the stuff I've looked at so far is pretty expensive.

    Any DD-WRT gurus here?

    I need some help with setting up guest wireless on multiple radios with the same SSID. All of the tutorials are really for single-radio configurations.
