    Asus RT-AC87U Release Date ?

    Forget about the Asus RT-AC87U, what about the new Asus RT-AC3200? It seems like Asus is really pushing the router business these days, but one have to wonder if these devices actually have anything going for them? Asus RT-AC87U seems like a natural successor to Asus RT-AC68U, but what...

    Apple AirPort Extreme (802.11ac) Reviewed

    The AirPort Utility 6.3.0 update came with a update for my Apple AirPort Time Capsule (AC) 2TB, I guess you'll need to be on the 6.3.0 branch in order to get the firmware updates for these new devices. Mine was updated from the base firmware v7.7.0 to v7.7.1, but I guess Apple themselves is to...

    Apple's New AirPort Extreme Offers No Innovation

    The Apple AirPort Extreme and AirPort Time Capsule seems to have all basic features that a consumer router should have. Obviously you have to relay on the AirPort Utility to set it up which could be both a blessing and a curse depending on how the user likes to do things. Apple is Apple though...

    Apple's New AirPort Extreme Offers No Innovation

    Is there any real point in having USB3.0 on a router anyways? I haven't seen any numbers on BCM53019 yet but unless it's significantly more capable compared to previous revisions you will end up being bottlenecked by the SoC rendering the USB3.0 port rather useless. Secondly Apple is...

    Apple's New AirPort Extreme Offers No Innovation

    Looking at iFixit's teardown of the Apple AirPort Extreme (6th Gen) it seems to feature some decent hardware at least. For once they have dropped the Marvell SoC nonsense that has been going on for some time, which proved to not give any beneficial performance. This time around they have gone...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 3.0.0.4.354.28 Beta 1

    I'm having some real issues with the WiFi connection using both 3.0.0.4.354.27 BETA and 3.0.0.4.354.28 BETA on my Asus RT-AC66U. I'm connected to my MacBook Pro 15" Retina model using 5.0GHz 802.11n 3x3 450mbps connection and it's dropping out several times a day now. It's not due to...

    Luxury problem: Which one to pick out of these

    I have gotten myself into a luxury situation whereas I got these routers and I have to send back three out of four, so the big question is which one I should be keeping. - Apple Time Capsule (2012) CPU: Marvell 88F6281 @ 1.2GHz RAM: 128MB DDR2 Flash: 16MB Other: Consumer grade, built-in...

    How to enable / disable or change country code? (802.11d)

    I am currently testing out the Asus RT-AC66U and I have rather nasty issues with my Mac clients and the 5GHz connection... Mac OS X defaults to use 802.11d to enable the appropriate rules for wireless connection, so it takes the closest wireless access point that got some kind of 802.11d...

    Awkward QoS behaviour?

    I'm testing out a Asus RT-AC66U, running v3.0.0.4.260 and I have some awkward issues regarding it's QoS. Normally I disable QoS all together because it tends to bring more harm than anything to my network but people have claimed the RT-AC66U to have a very decent QoS system and the fact that...

    Synology DS1812+ vs Qnap TS-869 Pro 8-Bay High-Performance NAS

    I'm going to replace my FreeNAS server with a smaller solution from either Synology or Qnap to reduce size, power consumption and make my life a whole loot easier when it comes down to customization and adding features. I want a high performance solution, only limited by my 1Gbit local...

    Shouldn't DMZ get around double NAT issues?

    I'm faced with a slight troublesome network configuration whereas I have to go through a double NAT solution. The deal is that I'm living with a shared Internet connection, but need to run my own separate subnet with my own IP-configurations and solutions. So basically I will have my pfSense...

    Dual / Multi-WAN, possible to get best of both worlds?

    Okay here is the thing, we've got two internet connections to our house, one for my parents living upstairs and one of me living downstairs from two different internet service providers. They've got a optical fiber connection from "Homebase" providing 25/25mbit with response times at around...

    Bizarre issue when measuring upload speeds

    There is no QoS on the router, I tried disabling it on the switch without any luck.

    Bizarre issue when measuring upload speeds

    Thanks for your suggestions, I've had Jumbo Frames enabled on both the SRW2024-K9 switch and the router for a very long time and have had both my file-server and all my desktop Windows system configured with 9k jumbo frames, but non of my OS X systems nor my HTPC nor any other system on the...

    Bizarre issue when measuring upload speeds

    Thanks for your reply. Of course Speedtest.net is no ideal, the best would be to have a server at my neighbour or something which had 100mbit connection as see how fast we could grab things of my file-server etc.. BUT, as I have ran the test so many times, over a short period of time and...

    Bizarre issue when measuring upload speeds

    I have had the feeling that my ISP haven't really provided me with the right upload speeds for the past few months. I'm paying for a 24 / 24bit fiber connection and my download speeds has always been right where they are supposed to, but my upload speeds has been somewhat lower. So I...

    Sold my Apple TimeCapsule, time to get another wireless access point / router

    It's all about customization at the lack thereof with the Apple AirPort Extreme / TimeCapsule. There is no way to disable 2.4GHz and only run 5.0GHz, there is no option for manually selecting channels above 48, if you want higher you have to stick it with automatic which normally defaults to...

    Sold my Apple TimeCapsule, time to get another wireless access point / router

    About 6-7 meters one way and 8-10 meters the other way, all on the same floor / level.

    Sold my Apple TimeCapsule, time to get another wireless access point / router

    Now that I've got my FreeNAS (FreeBSD) file-server up and running and all my Macs (as well as my Windows) systems are backup up directly to my file-server I had no need for my Apple TimeCapsule any more so I sold it and to my disbelief I got almost as much for it used as I paid for it in the...

    Home office / home enterprise router recommendation

    I' am looking at possible Supermicro based Intel Atom or LGA1155 solutions that could be running pfSense, Untangled, Astaro or other solutions. That seems to provide much more customizability, not to mention way more performance for money compared to Cisco and other fixed solutions. The...
