    R7800 X4S: Antenna specifics info wanted anyone know?

    Was able to increase my signal strength by 8 db by taking a copper sheet and after giving it a slight curve taping it to one antenna on each side backwards with the middle antennas at distance of a few inches away.

    Daily networking challenge - VPN configuration issue.

    Hi guys, Having trouble configuring a TPLink TL-WR710N pocket router to connect to my PPTP VPN (know its not secure - just testing and getting started). Anyhow my work network is setup like this. I have a Spectrum Wave Router acting as a PPtp server and using a Dyndns account. The work ip range...

    DDNS setup with Charter Spectrum Router - Confused. Please help.

    Hi, Trying to setup a Dynamic DNS service like No-Ip and having trouble getting in to my network. Makes me wonder if Spectrum blocks ports? Also pulled the manual for my RAC2V1K Router where it says: DDNS service will not work properly under these conditions: · When the WiFi Router is using...

    Google Cloud Print and Airprint

    Hi, Was wondering if you guys ever got this working on the Asus Merlin platform? Years ago I was able to install optware and airprint and setup a pdf printer on my RT-N66U Tomato Shibby router. Will the same steps work on Entware thats on the newer Merlin Asus routers? Thanks

    R7800 X4S: Antenna specifics info wanted anyone know?

    Well what is confusing about this particular router is the fact that it uses two different kinds of antennas. Will have to dig into those documents to find out more. Thanks. Edit: Looking at those documents now. I swear you have to be an engineer to make sense of them! All I can gather is that...

    R7800 X4S: Antenna specifics info wanted anyone know?

    I appreciate the advice and the in depth response. Going to run some tests and see if the rssi scores get better or not. My actual plan was to replace the antennas with Asus AC88U antennas if I see an improvement in scores otherwise I'll take my extra antennas and use them on back of my wireless...

    R7800 X4S: Antenna specifics info wanted anyone know?

    Hi, Was wondering if anyone know the details of the antenna's used on the R7800 X4S router? How many db are they rated for? Wanted to replace them with more powerful antennas but the fact it uses two different kinds confuses me as I think I have read that the rear antennas are 2.4/5 ghz and the...

    Router disappears in Repeater Mode

    Hi, I have an Asus AC88U that I flashed latest Merlin on and it works except when in repeater mode I can not find the router to log into it at all and router.asus.com takes me to the asus website instead. Everything else works there is internet and all but just can't login! Thanks

    RT-AC88U

    I am aware of the fact that Killer is rebranding at work and that perhaps the antennas could have contributed to the differences. But I think that the R7800 has better 2.4 ghz signal strength according to my tests with Asus having better 5ghz signal. I know my tests in no way measure real world...

    RT-AC88U

    Well I spent some time testing the two routers back to back with three different clients in the same room at roughly the same distance. The results I found was shocking in that the metrics depended upon the type of adapter card. For example a Killer 1550 card had almost twice the signal strength...

    RT-AC88U

    Just wanted to join in the conversation regarding the R7800 and the AC3100 8 port router as I am in possession of both routers and testing them out to see which one has the best range to suit my needs as I live in 4000 sq foot 5 bedroom house and have been having trouble getting strong signal...

    Neighbor’s Charter Spectrum coming in wide and loud!

    Hi, I have a R7800 combined with a Asus Nt-66u Tomatousb bridged via 11 db antennas. When I do a site survey I see a few Charter Spectrum wifi access points coming in at the same level as my R7800 at roughly 30 signal quality points and 80mhz wide. I live in a brick colonial and the neighbors...

    Asus RT-n66u as music player

    Compatible with latest Merlin? Hi, This sounds really cool. Was wondering about these sound modules do we need to compile them ourselves prior use or are they ready already? If so how to compile? Second what kind of usb sound adapter do you recommend? Lastly anyone get AirPlay working on...
