    Phicomm K3C AC1900 MU-MIMO Gigabit Router Reviewed

    So to follow up on tidbits from my exchange with Phicomm support. With regard to unreliable behavior as an AP, they said that it was designed to be used as a main router, and that "AP may not be the best way"... so that's disappointing. I asked why the home page CPU utilization graph always...

    How do I troubleshoot/solve jitter problems?

    That switch has some built in QoS. I wonder if that could be affecting things?

    Phicomm K3C AC1900 MU-MIMO Gigabit Router Reviewed

    I've been slowly exchanging emails with Phicomm's tech support in China regarding woes working this as an AP. No resolution yet, I've tried setting it up as a router-behind-myrouter and it's actually been working okay for a few days now. Right now it's just PPTP and L2TP. FWIW... I was able...

    How do I troubleshoot/solve jitter problems?

    No. That sounds weird. This is just a simple unmanaged switch? I can't see your imgur images here at work, but is it more than like 10ms, that would seem super weird.

    Ubiquiti Users

    I don't have any Ubiquiti equipment either, so I'm wondering about two possibilities: 1) Running a Ubiquiti APs or two, but plugged into some other consumer router. Would that setup make any sense? 2) Would it be feasible to run the controller software only when I wanted to modify or adjust...

    Need advice about buying new wireless router

    I'm not a moca expert, but as long as the coax in the computer room and your apartment are ultimately joined somewhere, it should be worth a shot. If the computer room cable has a tv signla, and your apartment has the same tv signal, that would be a good sign. Apparantlly satelitte services...

    Asus rt68u vs Netgear Orbi vs Ubiquiti

    honestly I'd wait until you get them placed in the house, see how the range works on the rt68, and see what kind of signals you're getting in different rooms.

    How do I troubleshoot/solve jitter problems?

    how about the simple option that Square's network and servers get strained during prime time?

    ASUS Blue Cave AC2600 Dual-Band Wireless Router Reviewed

    So, a bufferbloat max of 0 means... there was a failed transmission?

    How We Test: SmallNetBuilder's Wireless Testbed - Revision 10

    Hey Tim I just had a thought about the peak 5ghz throughput tests. These tests are done testing throughput to a PC with a wired 1 gigabit ethernet connection plugged into a LAN port, right? For the fastest 4x4 routers, do you think that the gig ethernet might be limiting the peak speeds...

    ASUS Blue Cave AC2600 Dual-Band Wireless Router Reviewed

    the table shows a bufferbloat score Down Max of zero. Is that right? Not sure what that means. On a philosophical level, if Nat Acceleration keeps the routing performance at full speed with all other features (qos etc) turned on, does that mean that a low CTF % really doesn't matter? I still...

    Allow only Home Smart Devices on Access Point?

    does the EAP225_v3 let you set up a guest network on it, as well? that would be the first thing I'd try (same SSID as your Asus's guest network). AP isolation shouldn't cause a problem as long as the smart devices only need to talk to the internet and from the internet, and not chat amongst...

    ASUS Blue Cave AC2600 Dual-Band Wireless Router Reviewed

    WEIRD. Wait why does the UI show utilization for CPU Core 3? I thought the CPU was just 2 cores.

    Phicomm K3C AC1900 MU-MIMO Gigabit Router Reviewed

    Have you still been using it? I'm about to write mine off as an AP. My two main clients (my galaxy s8 and my desktop with a USB wifi adaptor) have sporadic trouble connecting to this and being able to reach my 192.168.1.1 gateway when their either roam in or wake up from sleep. I changed it...

    ASUS Blue Cave AC2600 Dual-Band Wireless Router Reviewed

    Wow. Mega bummers on the routing performance. It really seems like that would be a result of a mistake with the firmware, doesn't it? Tim, did you look for CPU load when running the routing tests? Maybe that "Nat Acceleration" feature is broken (that's the same as cut through forwarding...

    How do I troubleshoot/solve jitter problems?

    so now we're at the most practical solution: move to an apartment next door to the game's server :)

    Need advice about buying new wireless router

    so, just to be certain, is there a way you could get internet access directly to your apartment? like DSL or cable? How much would that cost you? If powerline doesn't work, what about coaxial. is there any chance there's linked coaxial between the computer room and your apartment? you could...

    Need advice about buying new wireless router

    I suspect that bigger antennas on the router, if they have an impact, won't have enough of an impact to reach the last 30 feet to your door. The extender was, unfortunately, at your door. I think you're going to have to move it closer to the router. Like halfway. Hopefully somewhere where it...

    Phicomm K3C AC1900 MU-MIMO Gigabit Router Reviewed

    For an NTP workaround, if I plug in the K3c's WAN port, it will DHCP itself and synchronize to NTP. I can then move the plug back to a LAN port to use as an AP, and I need to go back and change the LAN Settings IP address to what I want, and it remembers the time. I'm not sure if this would...

    Need advice about buying new wireless router

    the old router has a 2x2 (two antenna) configuration. A bigger router might have 3x3 or 4x4 configuration, which might eke out a bit more speed. emphasis on might. How far is it from your apartment to the computer room? If it's like 120 feet away and the signal is still 20 feet short on your...
