    Router trouble RT-AX88U

    So far, the only software solution I found working is rebooting the router in command line or cru. Is it possible to reset (in software) only one port of the switch ?

    Router trouble RT-AX88U

    For a while, I had no issues. After previous post, I installed scMerlin scripts, to allow me to restart dnsmasq service. Today it showed again: when in range of Wireless Power Adapter, my device (phone) does not get an IP address; when in range of router, it does. I tried (without restarting...

    Cooling on DS211/DS211+ units

    Besides the exhaust fan, is there another fan inside Synology DS211 / DS211+ unit ? I'm looking for a NAS, and I'd rather buy one with passive cooling on internal components (CPU mainly).

    NAS recommendation

    Most PSUs have a surge protection system, protecting the PSU and the system from internal AND external overcharge. I think a NAS should implement something similar (they are quite expensive units).

    NAS recommendation

    I use an UPS w/ surge protection, but in my case the damage was caused by a defective harddisk - I think the HDD power connectors were shorted (or similar). The defective HDD was "new".
