    Your ISP should have a forum with some knowledgeable people on it; Comcast and TWC/Spectrum do. Otherwise, the LAN and WAN forum here perhaps..? (I haven't visited it yet) A better way is to just configure it for native and test it (e.g. Ping google from a PC, which type of address shows? Do...

    Maybe Google will compel IPv6 deployment by making Chrome not work on IPv4 anymore. :D

    Wait...you have metric but not IPv6? :D There are a lot of moving parts here, which means a lot can be misconfigured. A firewall would do the same thing (the router has an IPv6 firewall, as it should, and if those ports aren't open, you'll get the same result). Test each layer to ensure it...

    Sometimes the names show up, give it a bit of time to populate. Otherwise, you can rename them and even assign your own icons (images) to them. There are some benefits to running IPv6 but would you notice them? Not sure. It's the default in some cases (Microsoft) and is more efficient and...

    I'm with TWC/Spectrum; I used to have Comcast and I had to switch to Comcast business due to data caps (glad I'm not with them anymore). You can't just disable NAT. You really should take the time to learn the basics if IP networking so you don't frustrate yourself with misinformation and...

    In theory it shouldn't matter but...practice frequently doesn't match theory. I certainly wouldn't have mine set up that way (though my virtual machines are and I don't have an issue but I don't play games or have any high-traffic/low-latency demands on them either). Did the manual show a way...

    ATM VPI/VCI settings are used between the modem and the ISP--the modem's WAN interface, which should have nothing to do with disabling its router unless there are different bridging modes. I would go over the modem's manual myself rather than any tech support.

    That's the wrong IP (you have 160 repeatedly; it's 168) I have the SB6183 and can browse to the modem's status page (in fact, I have a program grab that status page every hour and log it). Your DHCP settings aren't an issue.

    What were the errors? LLDP would point to link aggregation (is it configured correctly or nothing connected to those ports?) or VLAN tagging. I suppose interference on that channel could cause those errors; perhaps check a WiFi scanner for a clearer channel.

    If WiFi security cameras existed in the 1950's, this is what they'd have looked like! Neat!

    Purchase Our Own Modem for Spectrum?

    Oh, I completely agree with you, which is why one must be armed with truth and leverage truth to get to the person who can actually deal with the problem. Being nice also helps (a tough one for me when I'm aggravated) and it's the right way to be. I'll let the CSR run their checklist--it's...

    Smart Connect

    SmartConnect makes my Asus GT-AC5300 grind to a halt, forcing a reboot, every hour or so.

    How to get IDM to slow down while it is downloading while other devices are using my internet?

    How many connections do you have IDM running concurrently?

    Purchase Our Own Modem for Spectrum?

    A few corrections: - I don't have to convince my ISP that my modem is good; they have to show me that it is bad - Replacing a modem isn't only on their dime; it takes my time also, which, to me, is infinitely more valuable - They can't "make" me do anything One reason I chose the SB6183 is that...

    Unexcusable cheap router QOS works better than my more expensive Asus RT-AC5300 router

    That would include moderation in moderation, which would mean not all things in moderation....! o_O @ng4ever How is your Asus QoS configured?

    Those are your wireless clients connected to interfaces with roaming assistant enabled; this is normal (though I don't know why they classified the log entry the way they did). You can toggle roaming assistant in Wireless | Professional for each radio.

    You keep saying that but because you don't have an issue doesn't mean nobody has an issue ("Affirming a disjunct"). There are many, many bugs in this router and some of them affect connectivity. SmartConnect crashes and burns ( just like @howie411 ) consistently whenever I have all 7 of my...

    You can set the SMB server name in USB Applications | Media Services and Servers | Network Place... You can set the names for your DHCP reservations when you add the reservation. After selecting the MAC in the drop-down box, highlight it and type the name you want, then add the reservation.

    It seems to work for about the first 20 minutes and then nonsensical afterward and then just stops updating. It seems such a rudimentary feature to remain non-functional.
