    Is someone using my router

    I saw an ssid the other day that might give many pause before connecting to it. It was "initiatevirusupload".

    Coming over to "AC" from RT-N66. Looking for suggestions

    Some of that was hard to understand but could tell it was improved. Good deal. Since the extender didn't really seem to be helping. I'd be tempted to unplug it to see if the helped downstairs reception from the primary router. And I'd try the 2.4GHz in 20MHz mode as well, that gives me the...

    Hi Klueless. I guess troubleshooting is where it's at. I was hoping for a easy answer hah. Good suggestions...

    Not sure how to tell.

    Cannot connect RealVNC

    Should be wide open on the LAN, can't think of anything that would block it. Do the computers "trust" the network of the new router? If not maybe the PC firewalls are blocking.

    Coming over to "AC" from RT-N66. Looking for suggestions

    That's all the low hanging fruit that came to mind. Drawing a blank for now.

    Coming over to "AC" from RT-N66. Looking for suggestions

    That doesn't sound like a problem. No wireless mice, keyboards, headsets, Bluetooth devices, alarm systems, closeby? All that stuff typically ruins on 2.4GHz frequencies. Microwaves of course interfere but only leaky units when on.

    What are those devices sitting right by the router? A phone? What else? Nothing on 2.4GHz?

    Coming over to "AC" from RT-N66. Looking for suggestions

    Interference is all that makes sense to me. Is the 2.4 channel width set to 20 or 40MHz? Mine's on 20 for better range, although less speed obviously. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    Coming over to "AC" from RT-N66. Looking for suggestions

    I'd have bet money that the xfinitywifi signals are coming from your comcast device. There's another one coming from "TheMcLaughlins" device. Even if you put a Comcast device in bridge mode disabling wireless service, it will still run a public hotspot unless you either ask Comcast to turn that...

    Coming over to "AC" from RT-N66. Looking for suggestions

    Excellent question. I noticed a couple of devices sitting by router. One looks like a phone maybe, can't tell about the other. What are those devices and what frequency do they run on? As you stated, baby monitors, alarm systems, phones, keyboards, mice, headsets, etc, can run on 2.4GHz and...

    RT-AC66U

    Agreed. I always save a cfg file before a full rest, but only use it if falling back to the firmware revision under which it was backed up. Now before a reset, I save the router configs a couple other different ways. First I save all the router config web pages for reference in case I can't...

    Coming over to "AC" from RT-N66. Looking for suggestions

    Those results look odd to me in a couple of respects. One is the 2.4GHz test upload being like 3 times the download, very unusual in my experience for the download not to be best. The other is the 2.4GHz range/througput being so much worse that the 5GHz. I can get 2.4GHz in parts of my house...

    As I understand it, that advertised number is all about maximum speed potential. They add up the theoretical max of the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands & round it off.

    RT-AC68U hardware versions

    Thanks for the reply, guess we'll find out as the b1 and c1 revisions become more common.

    RT-AC68U hardware versions

    Right. And since the USB controller is part of the processor as I understand it, makes me wonder if the USB performance may have also improved as a result.

    RT-AC68U hardware versions

    So are the changes in revisions b1 and c1 limited to processor speed? The reason I'm asking is that the usb read speed of the 68p looked about double that of the 68u. Wondered if the hardware revision changes impacted this as well. Anyone test this yet?

    FTC Dings ASUS For Selling 'Secure' Routers.

    That may be but I'm not seeing a lot of reports of issues with the lrt214. Now that might just be because there aren't enough sold to justify looking at it, hah, I don't know.

    FTC Dings ASUS For Selling 'Secure' Routers.

    This is all making me lean towards putting the Linksys LRT214 on my WAN and wireless access points behind it.

    FTC Dings ASUS For Selling 'Secure' Routers.

    One bad habit I used to have was to stay logged into my routers after accessing them as I didn't realize that was a vulnerability. Quit doing now that but used to all the time. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
