    any way to force a client to use a specific ssid ?

    just posting a follow up. i stopped using mac filtering after a day because it made the router lock up. i don't know why, i don't even care anymore, i just post this as a warning to others considering it after reading this thread. i'll post these grabs in case anyone here cares to pursue...

    Customize Request: QoS - WAN/LAN Bandwidth Monitor

    has anyone done an app/script to force those speedometer graphics to 0-100Mbps scale instead of 0-1,000Mbps scale. my isp can now do well over 100Mbps, but i'd much rather see that speedometer at 0-100 and simply max out while "redlining" above 100Mbps. actually i'd love if the entire list...

    which QoS is least CPU intensive?

    thanks for showing an interest ;) i suspect its the vlan and vpn related to yazfi but it's proven a very reliable app for my uses so i'd rather keep yazfi till i get a faster a2900 than enjoy more bandwidth i don't really need.

    which QoS is least CPU intensive?

    ok, so everyone was out of the house for a few hours, so i did a lot of trail and error and discovered that pretty much any qos setting well over 200Mbps on my ac3100 would max out the CPU, so i "settled" on the following; under the "Manual Settings" pages, i made everything Highest 100%...

    Asus 86u $120

    thanks gar, i'm waiting till refurb or open box ac2900's are selling under $100 to change models. this $100-$120 price range is pretty common on ebay and i prefer their 30-day buyer protection to newegg's crappy rma system.

    which QoS is least CPU intensive?

    i'm actively using 6 ssid's and one of them is VPN dedicated thanks to yazfi. however, it's the first core (bandwidth processing) not the second core (vpn processing) that keeps maxing out.

    which QoS is least CPU intensive?

    adaptive is actually the worst - a highest cpu user that nets the lowest usable bandwidth.

    which QoS is least CPU intensive?

    i was using lan qos on my ac3100 while on 100Mbps isp without issue. now that my isp gave me 300Mbps, i'm finding the CPU on my ac3100 runs at 100% when i try any of the QoS schemes in my asus router. when all types of QoS in the router are completely disabled i get my full 300Mbps speed while...

    any way to force a client to use a specific ssid ?

    i have multiple 2.4 and 5.0 ssid's each with their own name and password. my clients know the passwords for most of them i won't change the passwords nor make the clients "forget" the other ssid's. how can i force each client (i know the mac so i can assign a specific lan ip) to use a...

    RT-AC88U alternative

    i have the ac3100 which is the 88 less 4 ethernet ports. unless you need a 1.8ghz cpu with better openvpn support i see no reason why you'd want a better router than the 88. if your 88's radios seem to grow stale, just reboot it more often, like make a cron job to reboot it weekly. in my...

    ASUS RT-AC86U firmware release 3.0.0.4.384.45713

    i just wanted to post some additional observations regarding this 2.4 ghz radio ongoing issue; i noticed when people get home, particularly with smartphones that know both 2.4 and 5.0 ssids (saw this with samsung(ac) and iphone(n)) who use the 5.0 ssid but instead got on the 2.4 radio this...

    plz - where is the script to change my wan mac ?

    thanks, so one other question for people who have already attempted this; will changing the WAN MAC manually, automatically change the LAN MACs for wired wifi2 wifi5 nics? the reason i ask is because i noticed mine are nearly the same MAC, only the last hexidecimal is different, so does wired...

    plz - where is the script to change my wan mac ?

    i have a lot of old junk retired junk i could get a mac from. do mac's have some sort of range or pattern that indicates make/model? so if a mac was for example 00:1A:C2:7B:00:47 (just some google result) is there any part of that address i should keep intact, while maybe changing a few...

    plz - where is the script to change my wan mac ?

    sorry to bother you all, but "wan mac" won't search and "change" brings up half the forum, so i was hoping someone who had already changed the wan mac on their router, could link me in the direction of what script is used to accomplish this, where to edit it, how to auto run on start it, etc...

    ASUS RT-AC86U firmware release 3.0.0.4.384.45713

    yes, since october 2018 when i first put this ac3100 into service. i always use fixed channels to "muscle" my clueless neighbors out who are usually set on auto by their isp provided routers. in case it matters, i'm using all 4+4 ssid's my router can host, each of the 8 ssid's has a unique...
