The one thing I'd suggest that I haven't noticed being mentioned already is that once you start assigning static/manual IP addresses, it's a good idea to keep at least some basic documentation.

It may be a regional thing, because looking at Ama-UK the 1 star rating make up less than 10%, and 5 star ratings are around 70%!

Okay, so my head hurts a little after reading that... Basic NAT should have no effect on IPv6, there is no Network Address Translation to do with standard IPv6! With IPv6 we have local IP addresses, and global IP addresses. Those global IP addresses will work device to device within your LAN...

See: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/how-to-get-v6plus-on-asus-rt-ax86u.86281/ A quick search pulls up the official Asus support pages that suggest it's already implemented in dominions where it's used! So, by any chance are you trying to use a router from one country/region in another...

I think the majority of the regulars here use SSDs, and only one of them, keeping any serious storage on another device (NAS, server, etc). When doing that, SSDs may have "low power" states, but the energy savings from using them are usually negligible as to not be worth exploring! *Using...

You know, I've just accepted that no matter what DNS setup I use, someone's going to see at least a little bit of my data. That hasn't made me give up on privacy, but it has made me change how I do things over the years. Right now, I've got uBlock and the Origin variant running in my browser. My...

How safe? Well you can try it and see, as you can easily switch back! You might be better off though if you were to manually set it to a channel (and use a thinner channel width) in the lower band that no one else appears to be using. Give it go and maybe post back with the router model, and...

I've had the time to have a bit of a play with this today. I cannot get the app that you are using to work to save my life. The Official (and its free) Android OpenVpn Connect (suggested by Ripsod) app works like a charm! *Okay, scrub that, I have got the app you've been trying to use to...

You've not really given anyone very mush to go on here! What are you explicitly trying to do? What have you done so far to meet the needs you've identified? How can you verify that what you have done is working - and is not posing any additional/unforeseen security risks?

I could probably set up PiHole on a mini-server in my sleep! I've been following the thread on these forums about running PiHole on the router, and it definitely seems to be much more faff. Maybe in the next incarnation of my home network, if that happens to on the Banana Pi R4 pro - or...

Even the oldest, cheapest versions of the Chromecast have always used DHCP. You can't manually change it on the device, but you can set it on the router (LAN>DHCP Server) or it'll just find select a suitable address for itself within the routers DHCP pool. The really early ones can be a bit of...

You are replying to a post made in November 2023, much has changed since then!

If you are in the UK with BT or possibly just on the OpenReach infrastructure, then it's probably an ISP issue, as there are similar reports popping up on the BT consumer forums - it does seem to be very localised though!

Why? What are you seeing that has you concerned?

In the WebUI, you may see devices connected to the wrong node, and they'll be highlighted as such. If they are not connected to anything, they'll appear at the bottom of their nodes client list, and although they are greyed out you can still click on the link symbol to disconnect them! The App...

In the WebUI, under general, select AI Mesh. If you then click on the node the device is attached to, you'll see its detail in the right-hand column. Click on the white "link" icon next to the device and you'll be able to unbind it! *Binding a device to a node won't exclude it from connecting...

I think what you've shown, is that your router is working "within spec". From what you've posted I would assume there are retail units below the apartments. As for the "Core-G" network, it may be that they have multiple Access points, including on the outside of the building facing your...

If your Wi-Fi has worked at the distance your car is parked in the past, then I think you've been lucky, and you need to lower your expectations a little. So I wouldn't be buying a third router to fix something that isn't really broken. I'd probably be spending time and effort to get the...

With home routers if the Wi-Fi itself is not well, then it stops all together. The problem in apartments can often be too many competing Wi-Fi Access points, resulting devices struggling the further you get away from your own router. I'd try running an app such as "Net Analyser" on your phone...

Umm, ONTs and (G)PONs are not the same thing! Where you have a (G)PON, your signal has already been filtered from that of anyone else sharing the same physical fibre. With an ONT, it filters out your signal from any others that may be on the cable. So an ONT will need to be registered with...
