    I still have this problem; I can't find any rhyme or reason or pattern to it. Also, it never updates signatures automatically, so I have to regularly check/update manually. This never uses the extra memory and CPUs aren't taxed at all (I'm guessing it's for the filesharing and serving and such...

    You updated firmware already; make sure you do a factory reset. Ensure all your antennas are connected properly and check for broken/recessed pins. When you test, have only the laptop connected (power off your other 2.4GHz devices). If it doesn't work, I would return it. (My speeds are fine...

    Is there a smart alarm system that uses wired sensors

    I think he means that the sensors are wired to the base. This is a good question; I recommend searching for your model alarm system to see if anyone has upgraded/replaced it without replacing the sensors. One DIY workaround is to replace your current siren with a relay that trips a sensor on...

    DMZ won't help you here; you need to put it in bridge mode if that's an option. Can you get the manual? Does it have a bridge mode? If so, what prevents you from doing so? I don't know if/how your TV receiver will work with this since...well...I can't believe we still have fax machines and...

    https://www.opendns.com/ OpenDNS @L&LD DMZ isn't going to help here since the issue isn't packets not being forwarded; it's Asus' implementation

    Yes, it's private. The router is just using the IP it received on the WAN interface from the ISP-provided gateway; Asus' DDNS implementation won't work here. I use OpenDNS and it has a DNS-o-matic (DynDNS) option. 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 10.0.0.0 -...

    Thoughts on Smart Home Garage?

    I have been inclined to think that also but which is easier and more likely: physical brute force (lockpicking, breaking) or using high-tech skills and equipment? Also which is more likely: forgetting to close the garage door--rendering all security useless--or a high-tech hack?

    Did you use the feedback tool? I've gotten responses a couple of times from Asus with it on major issues.

    Smart lights Blubs Using Home Wiring

    You've put the two on different broadcast domains; servers aren't always required I certainly don't want to require Internet access to toggle switches in the same house and, contrarily, I certainly want Internet access to be able to control/monitor my devices from outside the house/network as...

    Smart lights Blubs Using Home Wiring

    The problem with that is that we use our smartphones, a laptop, and desktops to control IoT devices, so everything would be on that VLAN, leaving nothing not on that VLAN... (some IoT devices require their app be on the same wireless network) Running ethernet drops should be easy then. Connect...

    ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 (Owners)

    Probably mostly true but it has gotten results from Asus devs in the past I'm looking more toward the future when they wonder "why are our sales dropping in a growing market", these things may come to mind Also, I look for stuff like this before buying a product, so I'm paying it forward, I...

    Except that when I connect my wireless camera, for example, with a static IP to a network on a completely different subnet, I'm screwed. It's why I stopped using static IPs. Again, you presume that I haven't thought of these things or have a sound basis for my configuration. Welcome to what...

    ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 (Owners)

    Except that I have servers that need an unchanging IP and the icons and IPs let me quickly identify which devices are connected without having to look them up (which has been especially necessary in troubleshooting this router) and IoT devices don't like IP changes. You presume my needs are the...

    It's a nuisance mainly because the Asus UI sucks and is sloooooooooow I don't want to re-do my 30 DHCP reservations and neat icons I imported or document my configuration by hand and fat-finger it back in every time there's a firmware update (which might not be an issue anymore, it's beginning...

    Not the built-in save/restore, an old script that works for preserving the laborious stuff: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/user-nvram-save-restore-utility-r26-2.19521/ You can edit the script to restore only the items you want.

    You could use the firmware settings backup utility, edit which settings are saved, factory reset, then restore. @pinkfloyd1173 You have to wonder why he's selling this for $200. If someone offered me that much for mine, I wouldn't hesitate.

    Just how much bandwidth do you need for a light bulb or a dimmer switch? (That's what we're talking about here: IoT) Even my 1080p doorbell only uses 2 Mbps max and still only connects at 150 on 5GHz I'd rather keep the higher throughput devices (smartphones, computers) on the higher...

    I've been wondering about firmware updates also, if we're abandoned in favor of the Next Big Thing (ax routers). Somehow, I managed to finesse this thing into not crashing every few hours (when it checked for signature updates). I've abandoned Asus motherboards in 2005 for firmware issues...

    What do you think would be the best solution for doorbell?

    These are the normal risks one takes when using, y'know, actual products and features. If *you* don't trust Amazon, fine, but don't make it sound like it's a violation of sound network practices to do so. *Every* device adds an attack surface (including the doorbell itself) and Amazon's...

    What do you think would be the best solution for doorbell?

    I think two of you are taking me TOO literally, "on the Internet" doesn't mean "has a WAN connection/public IP". The doorbell is just a TCP/IP device....how you connect it is your deal, not the doorbell's. My Ring doorbells are on my private WiFi, behind a firewall. I use the Ring Android App...
