    DDNS hostname is irrelevant for two reasons: 1. You don't get attacked because you have a DDNS hostname; you get attacked because you have an IP address (check your logs; disable DDNS completely and check your logs again: you're still getting attacked) 2. Obfuscation is not security; keeping...

    So I understand you correctly: you're referring to the connection between your main router and the mesh node (backhaul), correct? It can be wireless, using one radio band on each router to tie them together or it can be wired by having an Ethernet port on each device connected to the other...

    I'm not sure what you're saying here but security by obfuscation isn't security (a complicated hostname doesn't make your router any more secure: it's still on the public Internet and it's still getting attacked continually irrespective of any domain name entries.)

    I had that problem (the whole router would slow down and eventually either stop responding or reboot by itself). Turning off URL history seemed to have helped. (I can't seem to find that feature now.) Ethernet=Wired Your Powerline adaptors adapt to Ethernet, so as far as the router is...

    heh..well it's true; for now, this router sucks. It's like having a Shelby GT (hardware) but filling the tank up with petrol-soaked sand (firmware). So I understand: you're saying the exact same setup and gameplay (like back-to-back) behaves differently between the two routers? If so, then...

    Two major errors: 1. An upload/download test is not the same thing as an online game; they couldn't' be more different 2. The problem getting progressively worse pretty much eliminates the router (OK, maybe not THIS router, it is rife with problems) and indicates an issue on the computer (game...

    There are a lot of potential causes for what you're describing and the router is at the bottom of that list.

    You listed the AC88U's firmware version; the current GT-AC5300 firmware is what he listed (648) as of yesterday.

    The purpose of DNS is to resolve a name to an IP; you already have that with Asus DDNS since you only have one public IPv4 address shared by all your devices. You only need one network device to update your DDNS and your router is already handling that. As an alternative to port-forwarding and...

    User NVRAM Save/Restore Utility (R26.2)

    I'm probably missing something but what would this have to do with this script specifically? If my 380 variable is too long for 384, then won't that be a problem as soon as I update to 384? Specific to me, already on 384 and having made backups from 384, were I to reset and restore, I would...

    This depends on what you mean by "posted here" (does that include links to other sites?) and "comes from Asus" (authorship or released by?). Asus made an effort to let me know that 467, "we seems not to formal release this beta version firmware" and was curious how I got it. Did they release...

    User NVRAM Save/Restore Utility (R26.2)

    So I understand correctly: the only issue would be that the new features in 384 (Alexa, IFTTT, new settings) won't be saved/restored with the current version of these scripts, correct?

    I almost went 6 days' uptime before spontaneously rebooting. Back to 308 it is (I don't believe I had spontaneous reboots with it) unless someone has a better idea to troubleshoot. It occured when I got home and the last logged item was DHCP. I wonder if this and the SmartConnect failing and...

    Get out while you still can! For those bits that get stuck in the copper runs....high cholesterol and all...it's the silent killer... --- 20467 runs better for me than 20311 did; I was getting crashes/reboots with 311 but I have 4 days' uptime with 467, which I never had before. I only did...

    Asus QoS / fq_codel

    Many, many modems and routers were needlessly replaced when the problem was cabling and connectors. You can have all 5 steps done perfectly but your connection can still be garbage because of a loose connector, damaged cable, corrosion at the pole, et al. (Notice how the most probable cause of...

    Try the simplest first, then add complexity when necessary or positively beneficial. If there isn't anything unusual about your house, one 5300 should perform very well inside and, if stick-built, outside also. I would wire it in the best possible location available on the middle floor. Set...

    If you have a typical 3-story (2+basement) house, 3,000 sq ft or so, the 5300 effectively placed around the middle of the middle floor should do a very good job. Don't forget to angle half the antennas (vertical and 45-degrees; they have a detent).

    How is the Guest Network separate form the main network?

    Each device connected to the guest network is its own broadcast domain.

    Static Route how to route all traffic to one device?

    I did something similar a couple of decades ago when I had cable and DSL. You switch your connection by switching your default gateway. You can experiment with multiple gateways and assigning costs to them but I didn't have any luck with consistency and instead clicked on a script when I...

    That's not a hard reset. Press the reset button on the back of the router. For firmware recovery, unplug it, hold reset whilst plugging it in. cf. Manual and https://www.snbforums.com/threads/faq-nvram-and-factory-default-reset.22822/ Still, I wouldn't blame you for returning it; it still...
