    This may seem to be a really basic question but I'm having some odd behavior on a client where I don't see expected incoming connections from a port that I've opened up for an app. What is the correct process to open and forward a port from the router? What I have done is: WAN->Virtual...

    GT-AXE16000 - WiFi MAC Reservations

    When attempting to set a DHCP reservation on my GT-AXE16000 router I am unsuccessful. The device is on the 2.4ghz WiFi band. When adding the MAC and data into the table, then clicking Apply, the screen refreshes but saves nothing. I also don't get the progress indicator (in percent) that you...

    Post reboot - unable to ping devices

    I have an asus gt-axe16000 router but I have seen this sort of behavior before with older model asus routers. I have a couple devices for example, ipollo ethereum miners, that are dhcp and are able to get an IP address without any issues. They are connected to a netgear 8 port switch and that...

    2.5Gb ethernet NIC - PCIE x1 vs. USB 3.0

    Hi. I have a high speed (2Gb) connection and a router with a 2.5Gb LAN port. I want to utilize this but my PC's integrated NIC is only 1.0Gb. Latency sensitive apps are involved here. It seems there are two routes to take here. Either a PCI-E 1x NIC or a USB 3.0 NIC. Is either one preferred...

    Linksys MR7500 - Manual channel select?

    Is there no way to select channels with this device? It has a scan function and you can tell what channel the device chose to use but there doesn't seem to be any way for the operator to manually configure this. Am I missing something? I tried the advanced wireless 'hidden' menu too.

    WiFi6 Latency vs. gigabit Ethernet

    I did a little latency testing this morning to see the difference between my onboard (asus tuf x570 plus) gigabit ethernet and WiFi5. Router is a rt-ax86u. I was seeing about 1-2ms in extra latency with the WiFi option. The concern however is not so much that but the occasional lag spike up to...

    Upgrading from RT-N66U

    Hi. I am currently using 'old reliable' RT-N66U for many years now. I'm looking to upgrade to a modern router with support for newer features, security, etc. and the RTAX86U seems like the best option. I was originally looking at the new GT-AX6000 but decided against it primarily due to cost and...
