    X4s vs 86u

    I recently got the RT-AC86U and the router is a beast. Handles traffic load really well and WIFI range is great. The fact that it's the successor to the popular RT-AC68U is a plus. Put Asuswrt0-Merlin on it and forget it as it can tackle internet speeds with barely a flutter. Very impressed...

    RT-N66U Time to update router? Advice/Feedback

    Just wanted to update and say that I got the RT-AC86U and it's awesome! I loaded Merlin on it and it hasn't failed me yet. The WIFI reception is much better than what I was getting on my RT-N66U. On top of that I don't really have to load QOS anymore as it seems to be handling the traffic...

    RT-N66U Time to update router? Advice/Feedback

    Glad you picked up a new router. Hope all goes with with yours. That was going to be my backup one :D in case I didn't get the RT-AC86U. It should have been an improvement over the RT-N66U. Are you using QOS? Stock firmware or using a third party? Let us know how things turn out for you with...

    RT-N66U Time to update router? Advice/Feedback

    I ended up picking the RT-AC86U. It had solid performance and is the next step upgrade for the RT-AC68U. I'm probably going to be picking it up sometime next week. A friend of mine was also in my same boat and asked me about my research. I told him about the RT-AC86U and he ended up picking...

    RT-N66U Time to update router? Advice/Feedback

    Thanks! I've been looking for some deals on some of the routers I'm looking at.

    RT-N66U Time to update router? Advice/Feedback

    That is a great deal but I think I'm going to go with the RT-AC1900P if I do end up picking a RT-AC68U model. Otherwise my other options I'm looking at right now is RT-AC86U and RT-AC88U. I suppose I could go with Netgear but I'm a bit hesitant, that would probably be the R7000P and the R7800...

    Which one would you choose?

    Sadly no lol :D. Though I'm leaning towards the RT-AC86U. If all else fails I could always get a RT-AC1900P. I think I'm going to hold off on the Netgear line. ASUS has been kind to me all these years. Going to Netgear would be a leap of faith sort of deal with me. That's not to say the...

    Need help finding a router for wired gigabit

    There are a LOT of routers that can do what you are asking. I think you may need to have to provide a lot more specifics. I myself am looking for upgrades and I've done extensive research into each router. It's quite a tough decision. However, you are going to get various recommendations...

    Which one would you choose?

    In terms of the NETGEAR Nighthawk X4S Smart WiFi Gaming Router (R7800), I've been reading similar things as well. Connectivity issues for some (not everyone obviously). UI being a buggy mess and such. Some have said the updates for the Netgear firmware isn't as often and they take forever to...

    Which one would you choose?

    $90 bucks for the AC1900P that's not bad! Nice catch!

    RT-N66U Time to update router? Advice/Feedback

    What to do what to do LOL.... So my choices are RT-AC68U (since it's a AC1900P apparently). Amazon has a sale on this today. Prime members get it for $99 dollars which is apparently ($60 dollars off the actual price). The ASUS RT-AC88U Wireless-AC3100 is also on sale with Prime on Amazon...

    RT-N66U Time to update router? Advice/Feedback

    I was actually thinking of putting the old RT-N66U in AP mode at the other side of the house. So you recommend that we completely ignore the AC1900 line and just move to AC3100? I remember reading that apparently the AC1900 line is quite stable and in fact ASUS has updated their models for it...

    RT-N66U Time to update router? Advice/Feedback

    Oops forgot to mention my current router is rocking the awesome AsusWRT-Merlin firmware. I updated my original post to reflect that. Apparently the ARM versions have Adaptive QOS and a few other useful upgrades. So its even more reason why I think an upgrade to an ARM router is in order...

    RT-N66U Time to update router? Advice/Feedback

    My issue is security and firmware updates. It seems that old MIPS routers aren't updated as much as the ARM ones. A lot of the firmware for MIPS with exception to one I think, have many out of dates libraries and such. Not to mention old kernels, KRACK and DNSMASQ vulnerabilities. The router...

    RT-N66U Time to update router? Advice/Feedback

    Well I think it's time I upgrade my RT-N66U router. It has served me well all this time. According to this article, I should upgrade my router since its a N router. That being said, I've noticed that a lot of routers are migrating into the ARM/AC world. The days of the MIPS routers seem to...

    SysLog to USB Issues

    No one really? Well in any case. After some trial and effort it seems the following code sort of works. Allows me to see the system log information that gets done before post-mount by appending it. That way I don't miss any information when the syslog gets moved to usb. Seems it works okay...

    SysLog to USB Issues

    Hello all! I've been trying to get my Syslog to go on my USB with a rotation. I've tried several variations in attempts to try to get this to work. It just never seems to work correctly and at times I feel like when the syslog is restarted for whatever reason, it defaults back to using the...

    Custom DDNS Script (Afraid.Org) Issues

    Okay so it was a bug. I thought I was going crazy. Nice to know it was fixed. Thanks RMerlin!

    Custom DDNS Script (Afraid.Org) Issues

    I had done that. If you read my original post you would have seen that I entered it in the hostname box. But I was still prompted with an error stating, "Account name cannot be blank." That is why it was confused. I was still getting the error and there was no other fields provided even...

    Custom DDNS Script (Afraid.Org) Issues

    12 days and nothing. Well don't worry I've switched back to Tomato Shibby since he released a new version 1.30. Merlin firmware was great but I missed the flexibility of the Tomato firmware. Shame no one was able to assist me with something so simple. I had tried several methods to get it to...
