    Swap File

    What exactly are you trying to run on your router if I may ask?

    I would like to kill some of the processes permanently

    It really depends on what you need and don’t need, until you figure that out no one is able to help you. Generally just turn off features you don’t need in the web UI and you should see a decrease in number of running processes.

    Need advice on how to handle security camera

    Q1) If all the mail server is doing is send out emails, and has no incoming traffic from the WAN then it should be alright (relative to hosting a web server like you said). Hosting your own email server this way has its own nuances though: - You might have to constantly fight with IP reputation...

    Repeater DHCP Issues

    Is there anything connected to the AP? The pcap looks almost exclusively broadcast messages and no DHCP ACKs in there, I don't have any more insight other than the Echos seems pretty aggressive on DHCP Discovers.. Which interface are you running tcpdump on? Maybe try capturing on br0?

    Can Router override TCP Window Size (do it's own auto tuning?)

    OK yea that’s under-powered for 100Mbps connection if you want to use QoS. What does your phone get for bufferbloat test? (with or without other traffic, doesn’t matter, just curious if your ISP handle network stack on other OSes differently) The IP ban is most likely automatic and temporary.

    Can Router override TCP Window Size (do it's own auto tuning?)

    Ha, it does now. I wonder why turning off Auto Tuning improves bufferbloat that much for you, maybe ISPs are finally doing something right? Maybe it’s because your line is too fast for your router’s CPU, which model are you using?

    Can Router override TCP Window Size (do it's own auto tuning?)

    I’m confused, can you describe how you change between the two IPs? And TBH asking all this is probably not improving your latency or anything, I’m just curious. It’s cool if you want to continue this via PM or just call it a day, I’m fine either way.

    Repeater DHCP Issues

    That one doesn’t seem to be in any of the PCAPs, so I guess it’s safe to say this time it’s the AP dropping the ball. As to why, I’m not sure.

    Can Router override TCP Window Size (do it's own auto tuning?)

    That's normal for LAN side IPs, I'm talking about WAN IP. If you go to http://checkip.amazonaws.com/, and compare that with WAN IP in the web UI of Asus, are they the same?

    Repeater DHCP Issues

    There seems to be several Amazon devices, so I'm not really sure which one is having a problem. One interesting thing though is that one Echo seems to be asking for a particular IP (192.168.1.98) after MB reboot and got denied with a DHCP NAK, those NAKs are present in both router-cap2 and...

    Can Router override TCP Window Size (do it's own auto tuning?)

    I’m mainly just curious how the test would come out if there are other traffic on the network. Test on the same device, not the iPhone; iPhone just used to generate traffic. Are you getting a public IP from your ISP or not? There are some newer ISPs that don’t own enough IPv4 space for their...

    Fixed Wireless LTE pfSense router

    Probably OpenWRT? As for band aggregation, that's more dependent on the model of the modem and if its Linux driver supports it. Edit: see sfx’s explanation below

    Can Router override TCP Window Size (do it's own auto tuning?)

    I think it just uses that term because everyone is familiar with it, I did not observe any ICMP Pings when it was doing the test. Basically, latency can be determined from any protocol, not exclusive to ICMP pings. As for your results, that's quite interesting. It seems like your ISP is...

    5G channel 128+132 and 136+140 on RT-AC86U - SOLVED !!!

    132: 5650–5670 136: 5670–5690 Doesn't look overlapping to me? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels

    Use Portmapper with RT-AC88U

    Interesting. I’ve never encountered any problems with networking utilities under WSL (but never attempted to use upnpc under it either). As for outbound ports, can’t you just pick a random port and your upnpc command would fail if port is already in use? In that case just pick another one...

    Need advice on how to handle security camera

    1. Setting up a mail server is a lot of work. Can you explain why “it’s a no-no”? Not sure what you mean there. Of course more software = more bugs, but with proper configuration it is fine to host a web server on your NAS depending what you’re using for. 2. That’s not what the Network Services...

    Can Router override TCP Window Size (do it's own auto tuning?)

    I’m talking about an A for bufferbloat.. which you don’t have. I was just saying that without more advanced configuration on my router, I’ve never gotten a better score than B for bufferbloat. And of course you can’t do QoS in AP mode, you have to do it on your router.

    Can Router override TCP Window Size (do it's own auto tuning?)

    From the link you provided WebSockets is a TCP protocol using HTTP ports, I doubt any QoS classifier would put them in Control Packets category. I ran Wireshark while the test was going on and they all seems to be TCP/TLS streams. I don't have QoS set up actually because of laziness, but all...

    [RT-AC68U] ASUS WI-FI BRIDGE DROPS CONNECTION TO WIFI ROUTER

    Can you post the whole thing with a code or spoiler tag?

    Can Router override TCP Window Size (do it's own auto tuning?)

    My previous comment was not completely accurate so I've edited it. What solves bufferfloat is the bandwidth limiter, which basically tries not to send+receive more than your ISP allows you. What the queue does is give all your devices a fair shot at making a connection, so that a 4K Netflix...
