    Comcast Takes Larger Stake in Plume.

    It has to be for so many companies to be pushing these devices so hard. I am all for wired APs, but wireless APs tend to have too much overhead, especially if traffic needs to make more than one hop, even with a dedicated wireless backhaul. Furthermore some companies tend to use the mesh buzz...

    How To Find The Best Router For Gigabit Internet

    Sadly, even with a router like the Netgear R7800, the openVPN throughput is not very good. It is fine for streaming, but it will not take advantage of even a 100mbit connection. Overall, the end result is what matters, and VPN on consumer routers is either horribly unoptimized, or the hardware...

    How To Find The Best Router For Gigabit Internet

    There are some uses, e.g., if you don't want your torrent download causing issues with your 8K streaming. Overall gigabit is really not enough for most consumer use cases.

    How To Find The Best Router For Gigabit Internet

    With the prices they charge for these routers, why don't these companies keep the same price points, but make a design that uses something like an Intel Core i3 CPU, so that there can be ample CPU to better handle OpenVPN?

    LTE-U vs. Wi-Fi: What You Need To Know

    One thing I feel will happen is, at first there will be some coexistence, but one company will break away and turn it off in order to boost performance, and then the other companies will follow in order to stay competitive.

    Fast WIFI (95 Megabit), but slow internet (35 Megabit)

    How many connections does iperf make by default? Sometimes WiFi will do that strange thing where a single client may need to make more than one parallel connection before the connection is fully saturated.

    R7800 new firmware 1.0.2.28

    Wanted to also add, Netgear should introduce a warning that if you enable DMZ, the openvpn server will not work. it will detect the incoming connection in the logs, but the clients will report an error of server poll timeout.

    R7800 new firmware 1.0.2.28

    Yay, always good to see fixes for network shares. It seems the QOS database was rolled back to an older version with this updates, and it does not want to update. Current Performance Optimization Database on Router Version: v2.0813.gea65011 Release Date: August 13, 2015

    Qualcomm StreamBoost

    Overall, it does work well for most tasks, and from my use, it works better than the QOS in dd-wrt, mainly from it being able to prioritize traffic while not having strange priority tiers where some things will be limited to 80% of the max throughput. So far, it seems that all traffic can hit...

    Qualcomm StreamBoost

    It seems to largely be a set of premade L7 QOS rules. It is hard to tell if it is working on a faster connection, though in more contrived tests where I intentionally start a bunch of downloads, then stream a 4k video, r download a few torrents, then start a bunch of downloads, and it does work...

    Cell Carriers One Step Closer To "Sharing" Your 5 GHz Bandwidth

    I was thinking more of since it looks for a channels that are less likely to bother WiFi clients, though it does not seem like it will treat WiFi clients and APs as it would treat radar on a DFS channel, thus what if we simply have it avoid the frequency range of the channels we are using right...

    Cell Carriers One Step Closer To "Sharing" Your 5 GHz Bandwidth

    If they begin using the 5GHz on channels used by the 5GHz access points, would it be possible for routers to add a function to keep LTE-U out, e.g., grab a 160MHz wide chunk of the spectrum, then spit out random frames at 1 watt transmit power whenever no other AP or client is doing anything...

    Cell Carriers One Step Closer To "Sharing" Your 5 GHz Bandwidth

    That would suck for those of us in areas where 2.4GHz is not performing well. In my area, 5GHz offers better reliability over a longer range than the 2.4GHz on both of my routers. Over 250APs (most on 2.4GHz). It also gets lots of usage because with more and more desktop computers also using...

    Accounts Engine Hiccup Resets OnHub and Google Wifi Products To Default

    If you have Verizon FiOS and are using their router as your main, they can change settings at will, as well as factory reset it. They can also view connected devices. For a while I had to occasionally connect their router as main but only have the set top boxes connected to it, so they would...

    Synology RT2600ac Router Reviewed

    That is one of the annoyances of the auto selecting of 40MHz, it pretty much guarantees that most people will never see their router using 40MHz on the 2.4GHz band.

    Goodbye To Wi-Fi Router Classes

    Did Linksys really list the Velop as AC6600 and not change it after realizing the mistake? I could understand a router being listed at AC1900 where while no single device can use both bands, multiple device can connect to the single router and eventually use both bands. but the Velop, are...

    Living In A Synchronized World: Wi-Fi Certified TimeSync Announced

    If they are going to be syncing separate devices for audio, then wouldn't they need a physical connection similar to how multiple function generators can be connected in order to keep the outputs synchronized or have some external reference clock such as a rubidium frequency standard to ensure...
