    New antennas for Netgear R7000

    On reading your post, you state that the receiver is approximately 1.5 meters from the router radio antenna in about the same plane. Unless there is some obstruction in between the router transmitter and the receiver device, I do not believe you will see any improvement in wireless performance...

    Dropping Connections with Vantec HX4R and Ultra Aluminus Enclosures

    Does anyone have experience with the Vantec HX4R or Ultra Aluminus drive enclosures? I have one of each of these enclosures populated with Seagate 4TB NAS HDDs in them. I have tried both the USB 3.0 and the eSATA connections. With both of them running the HDDs as discrete drives (No RAID)...

    Problem: After a restore from a known good system image, the server running Win 7 64-Bit Pro boots to the Password Log-in screen but will not recognize a USB 2.0 keyboard/mouse or a wireless keyboard/mouse. The wired keyboard when plugged into either a USB 3.0 or a USB 2.0 port will work to...

    Help me optimize my Plex server

    I have a couple servers running Plex right now (one is a back-up in case the other drops from the network). I can't say that I am a expert at Plex but I have had a lot of problems I worked through and have some experience. To summarize, the components that I have found which limit the number...

    How To Connect to a Network Printer from Outside the Network?

    Each of my networks has a separate WAN IP. Each WAN has a separate router on it. I have 3 - Asus RT-AC66 routers and 1 - Asus RT68 router running separate networks. The LAN IP Addresses for each network I set up sequentially Network 1 - 192.168.1.1 (stock Asus LAN IP) Router 1 Network 2...

    TeamViewer Remote Access Crashing my AC-68 Router or How to Create Multiple WANs

    Background: I just installed TeamViewer 10 software on all my servers and clients in my network so I could remotely access them and basically run the servers headless. TeamViewer is super easy to install and just works for me. I now make all my family and friends install TeamViewer on their...

    Daisy chaining computers to form a network

    I can understand the attraction of some of these games. A couple years ago I bought my wife a android tablet. I was updating it and downloaded a game (Spartan Wars) which is an on-line strategy game where you build cities and have to defend against attackers. Since there were significant...

    Daisy chaining computers to form a network

    Thanks for the useful information. Azazel1024 wrote: "For example, pull up run and then do //192.168.1.2 if that is the IP of the server the one machine is connected to through a direct connection. If you have permissions, that'll pull up the network share. Then just map that share to a...

    Daisy chaining computers to form a network

    Thanks for the information. If I understand what you stated, I need to set up individual IP addresses for each ethernet port on each server (already done) then "enumerate network shares" on each server to make it use those ports when communicating with another server. How do I do that? Since...

    How To Connect to a Network Printer from Outside the Network?

    I have a network printer (Brother MFC9330CDW) connected to one LAN by T100 ethernet. I have several servers and clients on that network which has a Asus RT-AC68 router running the Asus-Merlin 374.43_2-6j9527 Fork firmware. I have a second LAN with a secure data server and clients which has a...

    Daisy chaining computers to form a network

    This is a related question and I didn't want to start a new thread just for this. I have several servers that I installed Intel i350-T4 ethernet cards in giving me 5 ethernet ports per server. Can I directly connect one, or more, ethernet port directly to one, or more, other server(s) on...

    Did you try the setup procedure that Asus outlines? Otherwise try the following: 1. Turn off your modem and do a hard reset, then leave it unplugged. 2. Turn off your router and do a hard reset. connect the WAN port of the router to the WAN port on the modem. Leave the power turned off...

    Brainstorming: Routers without a Firmware , Why Not ?

    I do not believe that we are 30% or even 20% of the overall router/gateway market. The people in this forum are NOT your average consumer. Go to Amazon.com or eBay and see what they have for sale. Most of the stuff for sale is not high end routers. Then consider that the majority of...

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    Kel-l, Your footer seems to indicate you are using Ver. 4 not 3. :D I am trying to find the ver. 5 the John9527 has talked about (and indicates he is using). Is that a beta and, if so, can it be downloaded from somewhere? The Public-OneDrive site for the other versions doesn't have it...

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    I am running the 374.43_2 ver. 4 Fork Firmware on an RT-AC68 router. I have been having problems with getting PLEX to connect to my server from outside my network. I got it to work one time by opening a VPN to the network using PPPT. Subsequent attempts to link to the server have failed...

    Range: G vs N vs AC?

    I also have victorian buildings that I am very reluctant to modify. If you have Picture rail, or crown molding, you can run the CAT 5 (I recommend just going to CAT6E if you are doing it) in the picture rail channel or inside/by the Crown Molding. The cables come in different colors so you...

    Antenna Education Needed

    I am not an antennna designer or even an expert. Here is a little FAQ that I found which is food for thought: http://www.wlanantennas.com/faq.php The placement of an antenna near a wall and its effect on the signal strength/quality will, as other posters have already stated, depend on...

    My Experiance with the RT-AC87U And No It's not Good

    Merlin, Can you please provide a link to the site/page where it has the operating specifications for the CPU chip? You state that the chip is rated for 120-130C. I am not doubting you, I just want to read that myself since it contradicts what I know about microprocessors on silicon...

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    Thanks for the suggestions. I did clear the nvram when I installed the 374.43_2 ver 3 Fork FW. I also had been running the Merlin 374.43 FW since it was out until about a week ago when I switched to the Fork. The Merlin FW was stable and I had no problems with router temp. or signal. I...

    Problem with RT-AC66R on 5GHz band using 374.43_2 ver 3 Fork I have been running the 374.43_2 ver 3 Fork (need a easier, quicker name for this) on two RT-AC66R routers for about a week with seemingly no problems. Signal strength was good and no complaints about connectivity until last night...
