    Bandwidth limiter for guest network slowed down entire LAN

    Hey all, as an effort to fix my smart lights disconnecting, I followed instructions on a different forum, but for the same situation I had to create a dedicated guest network for the smart lights, and limit it's bandwidth to 1 Mbps up and down. Well I found 2Mbps up and down was a good spot for...

    Hey all, As some know I moved from Florida to Louisiana and have a new apartment now. In that process I was also forced to change internet providers as Spectrum, who I had for years is not here. So, I had to go with Cox. Anyway, my questions are these: 1. After setting the cox gateway into...

    AMPDU RTS setting On, or Off?

    Hey all, quick question. Asus has a setting under professional labeled AMPDU RTS. When I've googled this setting, it always references another setting called "Optimized AMDPU Aggregation". Typically this is suggested to leave disabled, and for me it's also disabled. My question is, should I...

    Is WPS really disabled?

    Hey all, I was curious about AsusWRT, and WPS. The toggle turns off when I set it to off, but there is a section in the configuration that still says enabled. Was curious if it's possible to fully disable WPS, or if this is just a glitch in the UI. Thanks - see attached screenshot. I have...

    Three Dumb Routers concept inroduced by Steve Gibson (2016)

    Hey guys, I was poking around and came across an old Security Now episode about the Three Dumb Routers concept. It seems as growing security threats increase, this would be a good configuration to consider. (especially with more smart devices onboard.) In my case, I have three routers I could...

    Looking for some detailed info on the "Use DHCP Routes" setting

    Hey all, I'm bringing another question here, because I haven't been able to find any detailed info. What does the Use DHCP routes setting do under LAN / IPTV? By default it's set to Microsoft, but I don't think I'm using the setting, so, should I set it to disabled? Also, does it control the...

    Spaces and SSID Names ?

    Hey all, Just a quick question, I've been reading more instances lately where Spaces can cause issues with SSID names. I was curious as to what this specifically applies to in today's standards. For example, my SSIDs are "iFrog Media", and iFrog Media 5GHz" I've never had any kind of...

    Question regarding Gaming port on Asus Routers

    Hey guys, I was hoping someone could give me some clarity on the Gaming port priority feature Assus offers on their routers. From my understanding, Port 1 on the LAN is also the gaming port which will prioritize traffic for gaming. This part I'm clear about, what I'm unclear about is, is it on...

    any advantages of HTTPS web management on a local network for a single user?

    Hey all, just moving this question from another existing thread I had posted it on, then removed from after being suggested to start a new thread. In the ASUSWRT local management settings it gets the options of HTTP, HTTPS, or both. Most of the time I just leave my routers to HTTP so I don't...

    quick question about DHCP reservations

    Hey guys, Just a quick question about adding DHCP reservations to ASusWRT. Does it require clicking the apply button to save reservations? I've had routers on both sides of the fence where the DHCP reservation was saved when created, and that's it. Then on the other side, some required you to...

I did some reading of some older threads here regarding if people recommended AIprotection, and the main verdict was yes. However, those threads were a year to several years...

    Asus Routers and IPV6 configuration for Spectrum Internet

    Hey all, Does anyone here from the U.S have Spectrum with an Asus router? I was curious what the correct settings were for IPV6? On the routers I've configured in the past, usually I've set it to dynamic and Dual stack. Asus has more options than I'm used to in certain areas. I have only...
