    Secondary network

    If you are attempting to use the router (and services hosted on the router) via the LAN ports only, you'll usually run into default gateway issues for local services. You'll probably have to make sure that the WAN settings contain the LAN default gateway even though you have nothing connected...

    Two router network setup not working. Help!

    Ok, I wasn't sure. You're take is the same as mine, transparent redirects and dhcp ... but I'm still interested in the concept OP had in mind. Maybe I should just search and see if I find something ;) Sent from my MI 5 using Tapatalk

    [AC86U] Wifi Speeds Lower Than Expect With 100Mbps DSL

    From my understanding, that speed is typical for a MBP at those PHY rates. You can try running iperf with some additional switches to try and saturate the available bandwidth: iperf3 -R -c IPADDRESS -w 1024k -P 3 -t 30 -i 5 And see if that bumps it up. I think you should see it somewhere...

    Shut off network for a device at a specific time using Mac address? RT-AC88U

    For the wireless roaming side of things, all I can suggest is check what you were on (band, protocol, connected speeds) and what it reconnects to. Sorry being lazy but did you say you use smart connect? Maybe the Merlin thresholds are different. Also did you do a full factory reset? I know...

    [AC86U] Wifi Speeds Lower Than Expect With 100Mbps DSL

    OP said they did a factory reset and most of those features are not default. If those features were a problem, they'd affect wired also, but really those overheads shouldn't create a bottleneck at these rates. Once OP has a baseline for wireless LAN performance, and if there's definitely an...

    [AC86U] Wifi Speeds Lower Than Expect With 100Mbps DSL

    I must have read over that, yes, one device should be wired like I stated. I agree with ApexRon. Only after you've determined a single wireless device's capabilities can you then move on to determine if there is an issue not related to wireless connectivity. So basically do the same test but...

    [AC86U] Wifi Speeds Lower Than Expect With 100Mbps DSL

    Nice to see you using iperf. Those are some pretty consistent 100Mbps+ speeds. You didn't say what the reported speed of the pixel was. This is what I would expect to see for a standard wireless N setup. Was the pixel on 2.4 or 5Ghz? If you can eliminate a mobile device from the testing it...

    [AC86U] Wifi Speeds Lower Than Expect With 100Mbps DSL

    Yeah, this. Make sure WiFi LAN speeds line up (or don't line up) with the reported connected speeds before you go any further. There are dedicated throughput testing programs available but worst case, transfer a large file from a laptop on WiFi to a desktop on wired LAN, then calculate the...

    Port forwarding - Stumped

    Well DMZ doesn't remap the port so if the port is blocked by the ISP, DMZ isn't going to help. It doesn't hurt to try ... Sent from my MI 5 using Tapatalk

    Shut off network for a device at a specific time using Mac address? RT-AC88U

    Yeah same, I just assumed that a lot of these facilities just work but I guess there's compromises when you cram everything into a small package. In a corporate/enterprise environment these facilities would be handled by dedicated appliances or entire servers so I guess it makes sense :) Sent...

    Port forwarding - Stumped

    Then using an off-port in a higher range might be the go. If you have port forwarding working for something else, try copying that rule with a slight alteration to the forwarded port. Sent from my MI 5 using Tapatalk

    [AC86U] Wifi Speeds Lower Than Expect With 100Mbps DSL

    Are the speeds your seeing below the reported client connected speeds on the router? Are the clients negotiating AC or N? Not that I could really help either way I suppose but it definitely seems like you'll have to diagnose specifically the issue with your wireless connectivity. Sent from my...

    Port forwarding - Stumped

    Some ISPs block certain port ranges, maybe try using PAT and assign it into a different range. Nmap will help easily show when a change makes a difference. Sent from my MI 5 using Tapatalk

    Port forwarding - Stumped

    Nmap remotely and do a quick DMZ test, as in assign the camera as DMZ. If the results don't change then there's something up inbetween or with the router. The ISP might be using CGN, check your WAN assigned IP versus a what is my IP check ... Or remotely monitor ICMP while pinging and check...

    TV can't see DNLA server via RT-86U

    Hah, no worries. Yeah that's why right at the start I suggested testing with multiple devices/clients, it helps isolate the problem to the server or the network. Sent from my MI 5 using Tapatalk

    TV can't see DNLA server via RT-86U

    Yeah ... Plex for me is a last resort only option. I've had too many WTF moments with it. I'd still recommend trying Kodi, with DLNA or a windows/samba share. It's completely free. Once you've added your library to Kodi and set it up to your liking, it's hard to use anything else. I really wish...

    Shut off network for a device at a specific time using Mac address? RT-AC88U

    Opening and closing ports is a function of UPnP. Despite that, I don't have UPnP enabled and I've had no issues gaming on my PS4. Currently my favourite game is P2P (firewall zero hour) and I've not had any issues. There are very few games that don't use an intermediary matchmaking server that...
