    how do you figure out what and where you may need to whitelist?

    over the weekend a friend lent me directv creds which allows roaming clients to view on demand (not live). at&t streams work best on google chrome, needs flash, but it depends on a stream drm manager running; https://www.file.net/process/ciscovideoguardmonitor.exe.html it kept getting stuck...

    Asus Merlin ac3100 slow!!!!

    thanks everyone, this really is an amazing group of well informed enthusiasts and developers with the patience of job. usually when anyone disparages what's important to any specialty forum they risk getting flamed, ignored or banned, so out of respect for your collective curiosity about my...

    Asus Merlin ac3100 slow!!!!

    i appreciate the encouragement and technical support, but it's not just a dozen static ip entries, it's 6 lan qos limiters, 6 ssids, and several dozen other non default tweaks to setting on every active menu page. the one thing i miss the most about dd-wrt is it had a few long pages of default...

    i read this article, and had a question for stubby users - just out of curiosity :p https://www.businessinsider.com/paul-vixie-blasts-google-chromecast-2019-2 if a device specifically hard codes 8.8.8.8 will stubby encrypt it and it will simply access 8.8.8.8 beyond your wan, or will it leak and...

    Asus Merlin ac3100 slow!!!!

    sorry L&LD but i have to dirty upgrade merlin as i have many static lan ip entries, sadly gui backup and restore entries on a later merlin version never seems to work. it's a shame nobody has done an app to meet this need and encourage more clean. i'm afraid to try a later merlin (with 3 teens)...

    Asus Merlin ac3100 slow!!!!

    just curious, i also have a ac3100 with nat acceleration set to Auto yet according to my sysinfo page, HW acceleration is not working? https://i.imgur.com/bixe2fS.jpg my cpu load is a quiet 5% most of the time (despite 5 family members) i have a 32gb usb2 stick with a swap defined and common...

    How often do you guys reboot?

    sorry for the tangent, but - just curious, what ac3100 symptoms qualified it as "dead" to you and do you think any factors like bad electricity or ambient heat may have contributed to it's death :confused:

    How often do you guys reboot?

    i let amtm soft reboot weekly so i get a new isp wan ip under the assumption that it adds a bit more anonymity. hard reboots are mostly needed during a firmware change or after discovering i may have misconfigured something which manifests within that week by a wifi radio hanging or a cpu...

    Asus AC3100 assistance*

    most will tell you that wifi speedtests can be meaningless. what matters more is the top handshake speed you may get. system.log/wireless.log my firetv's handshake at 866 Mbps while my other wifi devices all handshake with my ac3100 well beyond what they would ever practically need. with my...

    384.9 not showing all devices in Bandwidth monitor and MAC addresses showing in Traffic Analyzer

    i don't, but let's be realistic here :p the average home owned router probably has not been updated since it was purchased (i've helped a dozen people cord cut, and that's the state their routers are found), while the average merlin user is so far ahead of the curve already when it comes to...

    384.9 not showing all devices in Bandwidth monitor and MAC addresses showing in Traffic Analyzer

    it's a well known asus issue, not merlin and yet another reason why many here are staying with 384.8_2 till asus fixes it. most home users probably don't need 384.9 because that asus update is mostly about router security vulnerabilities, not features.

    How to handle Router upgrade without pain?

    your upgrade may be a good time to document everything and redo it all because very often people here to factory reset and redo the same router in order to enjoy some of the latest asus/merlin features. when i transitioned between a dd-wrt linksys to a merlin asus i documented all my subtle...

    https://www.costco.com loads, but not costco.com

    just confirming this happens to me a lot. i'm googling the website, then clicking on the google provided link rather than entering in the url name on the browser address line. costco it just the most common example of why i have to do this.

    Asus AC3100 assistance*

    ac3100 here doing dirty (not factory reset) upgrade & downgrade. i found 384.9 to cause my wifi intermittent failure days later so i rolled back to 384.8_2 and have been fine ever since. many other ac3100 here report using 384.9 without issue. the only unusual stuff i do is lan qos and host...

    [Release] FreshJR Adaptive QOS (Improvements / Custom Rules / and Inner workings)

    does lan qos only limit lan:wan traffic? or it is also supposed to impact lan:lan (wifi to lan based nas).

    (NOOB) Definition of "minimal and manual configuration"

    maybe one of the geniuses here could write an app so a user could edit a text file with all his gui entries, and the app would apply them and reboot the router with them active. if such an app existed, i'd never need do another dirty firmware upgrade again. i'd do an upgrade from factory...
