    Google WiFi Reviewed

    I'm testing the Google WiFi Triple-Pack as it just got available in Norway. I have a really hard time with WiFi in my appartment due to some brick walls causing me some real headaches. WiFi will drop out in the bathroom, and our Ring Video Doorbell is also having a really hard time. So I...

    [Official Beta] AiMesh beta firmware for RT-AC68U/RT-AC86U/RT-AC5300/RT-AC88U

    How good is AiMesh compared to competitors like Google WiFi, Eero etc..? I have a rough home due to some brick walls, and I have always been tempted by mesh. Not because I want this wireless meshing, I want to run Ethernet as a backhaul for performance and stability, but I want mesh due to how...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.68 is available

    I had the same issue. I have file/torrentserver and it would kill my RT-AC5300 running 380.68_2. I'm not entirely sure what caused the issues, I recently enabled both Adaptive QoS (fq-codel, streaming preset) and installed AB-Solution and decided to disable QoS and remove AB-solutions and then...

    [Official Beta] AiMesh beta firmware for RT-AC68U/RT-AC86U/RT-AC5300/RT-AC88U

    This is very interesting, I currently use RT-AC5300, but I also have a RT-AC68 and RT-AC66 in a drawer. I will try this asap when all these are supported.

    And So It Begins... Asus Announces First 802.11ax Router

    Is Broadcom abandoning their Smart Connect / Tri-Band solution? I do see the benefit of Smart Connect as some homes gets flooded with new wireless devices so having the extra wireless NIC so you can off-load "useless" devices to their own NIC in order to achieve better throughput for your more...

    UPnP - Multiple Xbox One Gaming Consoles & NAT

    The problem here is people not fully understanding what these reports actually mean. Having NAT2/Moderate is not a bad thing, it's actually what you should be having. Getting NAT1/Open means your gaming console is not being NAT'ed at all, which is a bad thing, your router/firewall is essentially...

    Help with Smart Connect setting on Asus RT-AC5300U

    I need some help with setting my setting for Smart Connect on my Asus RT-AC5300U. There is a severe lack of documentations on how these settings actually work.. Well, there isn't any at all. What I'm trying to achieve is having Smart Connect on all three NIC's, the 2.4GHz, the 5.0GHz-1 and...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.67 Beta is now available

    I did a nvram erase and a full firmware recovery to 380.67 BETA1 and my Asus RT-AC5300U started acting all weird. First off, it didn't save any of the wireless settings from the "first-time wizard". Secondly the whole 2.4GHz radio didn't accept any connections/passwords, neither the actual SSID...

    AC5300 New Firmware 3.0.0.4.380.7266

    Is Asus starting to loose it? I upgraded to this firmware and the WiFi on my RT-AC5300 became pretty much unusable. All WiFi clients would loose WAN connectivity all the time. Took only about 15 min before it was dropped and I had to manually disable and re-enable WiFi to get Internet Access...

    Having trouble with packet loss. It's been like this for at least 1-2 months. Who's to blame?

    My ISP was to blame. They applied som magic juice and cool-aid and the packet loss was all gone.

    Having trouble with packet loss. It's been like this for at least 1-2 months. Who's to blame?

    I did some more tests from work, using our two WAN connections, one behind a UTM and one which is running behind a RT-AC68U with only SPI firewall and there is no packet loss when testing towards the IP of my two friends. But when testing towards my IP I get packet loss at the two latest...

    Having trouble with packet loss. It's been like this for at least 1-2 months. Who's to blame?

    I'm going to fire up OPNsense on my Hyper-V Server and see how it goes using that instead of the RT-AC5300. I wasn't aware of there being many known problems with the RT-AC5300?

    Having trouble with packet loss. It's been like this for at least 1-2 months. Who's to blame?

    It's the same thing testing towards my other friend; How could this be? Why do I face packet loss like these, when my parents does not? I was almost certain the issue had to be our ISP, but looking at the results I get when testing on my parents network I'm not all that certain anymore...

    Having trouble with packet loss. It's been like this for at least 1-2 months. Who's to blame?

    I'm having issues with inconsistencies in terms of packet loss. I'm hosting a dedicated TeamSpeak Server and we have noticed issues with robotic sounds, high delay/latency and hitching/skipping for a long period of time. We did notice that some of my friends had packet loss of about 2-15% at...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.65 is now available

    I've had issues with the webui for a long time. And it's not only Apple-devices, it's also when using Chrome and Microsoft Edge on my Windows 10 desktop computer. I've simply gotten used to the webui being fiddly at best.

    Norton Announces Its Own Wireless Router With Security Emphasis

    From what I've heard there shouldn't be any limitations on how many devices the router itself can protect. But the subscription also gives you access to the full Norton Security software suit, and here you are limited to "only" 20 computers. I know BitDefender have had something similar, but I...

    Upcoming ASUS ROG Gaming Router: GT-AC5300

    What the hell is this?? The amount of buzzwords and marketing jimbo is simply off the charts. Since when did network devices such as a router become a gaming device? It doesn't make any logical sense as it's little Asus or anyone can do on the network layer to make gaming better. From the...

    Mesh Mashup Redux - NETGEAR's Orbi Checks In

    How does this whole mesh networking actually work out? From what I can gather, neither Google WiFi nor Netgear Orbi features any kind of 802.11r/k/v, so how are they supposed to actually steer and manage clients in order to avoid the issues with sticky clients? If you are living in a mansion...

    TP-LINK Talon AD7200 Multi-Band Wi-Fi Router Reviewed

    So in the end, the conclusion is 802.11ad/WiGig is pretty much useless in normal environments and scenarios? As you get bottle-necked by the internal switch, you basically got to have multiple 802.11ad/WiGig devices connected using wireless in order to bypass the 1Gbit switch bottle-neck. And...
