    [ROG RAPTURE GT-AX11000] Experiences & Discussion

    Hi Guys, Quick question regarding dns servers. I have 3 kids with multiple devices, PC's, Phones ect. Is there a way for me to configure what DNS server they use? I wanted them to all go through open dns family shield. I know I can configure it on each device manually but is there a way to do...

    [ROG RAPTURE GT-AX11000] Experiences & Discussion

    Not using aimesh and my second 5ghz came online after 10 minutes. Just noticed another little quirk, I tried to reserve a few IP address and every time I press apply it disconnects everything and then most devices have a problem getting back online. I don't remember anything like this on the...

    [ROG RAPTURE GT-AX11000] Experiences & Discussion

    So I initially set it up with them separated and wanted the 5g 2 one for gaming. Everything seemed to connect ok and the kids pc's were hitting over 200mb but then they suddenly stopped seeing the gaming SSID. I tried smart connect and everything connects but the speeds are terrible. I have...

    [ROG RAPTURE GT-AX11000] Experiences & Discussion

    My router arrived today while in work so hoping to get home soon to setup. I had the 5300 previously and had all 3 Ssid's combined, I'm wondering how the majority of owners have this setup? Does smart connect work as expected? Or would I be better to separate them? Any other little things to...

    Unifi Dream Machine Nightmare. What to replace with

    I also installed another AP in the middle floor of my home so the UDM was downstairs and the AP in the middle. My main issue was kids couldn't play multiplayer games. As soon as there pc connected it would drop packets or drop off the network. The unifi forums are full of issues with the UDM...

    Unifi Dream Machine Nightmare. What to replace with

    I was looking at it but was thinking the range might not be great. I think I will be going with the ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX 11000. Ive asked in the asus section if there is anything I need to look out for before I buy. The RT5300 I had before the dream machine was great in every sense.

    Unifi Dream Machine Nightmare. What to replace with

    As the title says, I replaced my previous router the asus AC Rt 5300 with the dream machine and it's been a complete nightmare. WiFi range is crap and the firmware is half baked at best. Anyway I'm getting rid of it and wondering what's the best thing to replace it with? Asus/Netgear or...

    UniFi Dream Machine

    WiFi range is good. I came from the asus RT-AC5300 and the dream machine wasn't as good as that but it covered my whole house without issues . Standard cable is correct I replaced it with a UK one when mine arrived to Ireland.

    Replacing my Asus RT66AC, Unifi Dream Machine, Amplifi Alien?

    My Dream Machine arrived a few days ago and is replacing my asus RT-AC5300. Range is nothing like my asus but my main reason for purchase was security and control only kids content. I've already had issues of one device not connecting to the dream machine and I'm hoping it's a range thing more...

    UniFi Dream Machine

    Ive tried to pick one up in Ireland but it aint released yet. I'll be replacing my Asus RT-AC5300. From what I can make out it would be possible to have the kids devices on a separate Vlan all running with OpenDNS FamilyShield settings while everyone else runs as normal. I started to look...

    Gigabit fiber pppoe speed issue

    Speeds didn't stay with what I would be happy with, Wireless started to go no more than 150 while wired barely ever went over 500. So I jumped back to the vodafone Gigabox router they provided and immediately everything flying as expected. Wired speedtest getting up to 1.2g and wireless getting...

    Gigabit fiber pppoe speed issue

    I never turned it off... Wifi speeds still appear to be hit and miss.. With my last provider my laptop on wifi always maxed it out but only getting 150-200 now, Even though the wifi card properties showing connection speed of 866.7mbps I'll have a thinker around later.. Cheers for everyone's help

    Gigabit fiber pppoe speed issue

    I'm not understanding what your saying, are you saying put my 5300 into AP mode and connect it directly to the ONT? If so then can everything else be configured on my 5300? Dhcp server ect

    Gigabit fiber pppoe speed issue

    No I need it configured as a router. If I switched to AP then I wouldn't have a router.

    Gigabit fiber pppoe speed issue

    And the fact that I was getting my full speeds with my other provider kind of rules that out. I didn't have to use pppoe with them so I'm thinking it's to do with that.
