    Which ASUS router?

    Thanks to all for your input. A little more looking into this. I was starting to think maybe using AiMesh and buying a comparable cheap T-Mobile of my 68R, and after flashing, using those at the Two Story residence with AiMesh, but I am getting that Merlin doesn’t support AiMesh on the 68R...

    Which ASUS router?

    I'm looking at setting up another residence with cable internet. A 1700sf two story, and the router would be downstairs. I'm inclined to look to ASUS w/Merlin because at our other residence we have had a RT-AC68R (bought at Costco when this model first came out). This router has been rock...

    VLAN or Isolated LAN for IP Cameras using ASUS RT-AC68U?

    I guess I need to post this in another topic or keep searching since this is not related to the Asus router. I have read over at a forum specifically for IP Cameras called ipcamtalk .com that some have put a second Network Card/Adapter in the dedicated PC that they use for Blue Iris. But I'm...

    VLAN or Isolated LAN for IP Cameras using ASUS RT-AC68U?

    I did ask a related question over in the QNAP topic because I have an unused adapter in my NAS. But I didn't get input on how I might use that and direct traffic to Blue Iris. https://www.snbforums.com/threads/using-second-adapter-to-create-isolated-lan-for-ip-cameras.61235/#post-541859 And...

    VLAN or Isolated LAN for IP Cameras using ASUS RT-AC68U?

    Using second adapter to create "Isolated LAN" for IP Cameras?

    Well I don't know if it all will support VLAN, but I am using an Asus RT- AC68U flashed with Merlin as in my signature. So your saying that I could use the Asus RT- AC68U to create the VLAN to isolate the IP Cameras (all Dahua) from the internet? I will have to look into the router method you...

    Using second adapter to create "Isolated LAN" for IP Cameras?

    I would like to find out about possibly using the second Network Adapter on my TS-453Be for creating an Isolated LAN, or Walled Garden, for IP Cameras. I however will not be using the NAS as my NVR. I have a dedicated Windows PC that I will run Blue Iris on. This PC with record and store all...

    Need help learning how to protect home NAS and Security camera setup

    Also regarding WPS. I would like to use it to setup my printer. But I see in AiProtection that it suggests you turn it off. Can you turn it on temporarily to setup a device and then disable it for security?

    Antivirus for Windows 10?

    Thought I’d ask here because most regular posters here are not only super helpful and friendly, they smart too.
