    RT-AC3100 Refurbished but having problems

    Exactly what is the status of router now? Did you have power glitch/failure in the house? If you'll, turn off power to the router, wait a few minutes, then press and hold the reset button down and turn on power to the router. When front LED lights start blinking, release the reset button.

    USB GPS instead of NTP

    GPS for military is restricted. Commercial version is not as accurate.... I always listen to WWV because it has message for propagation info.

    USB GPS instead of NTP

    It doesn't have to be satellite, Ft. Collins CO, xmits signals too. WWV, JJY, CHU, etc. are all time signals. They were there B4 the days of GPS.

    USB GPS instead of NTP

    To receive signal from the bird at midnight every day. Same with GPS. All the time base is atomic, they're all synchronized world wide. All wall clocks in my are atomic. Only time to touch the clock is to put in new battery. My daily casual watch is 3 band atomic G-Shock solar powered. I used...

    Please Help! RT-AC68U wifi can't connect

    Then try without any pass phrase. Hard to believe. Just try without any pass phrase. By the way you reset the router, right? Also tried via WPS? Happens on both bands? Also reflash firmware. Lastly did it ever work?

    Replace my Asus N16 with... ????

    First of all basement is bad place to locate a router, especially when you try to maximize coverage. My router is located at upstairs loft of 2 story house. Little smaller house than yours. Coverage is OK, whole house from basement up, outside front/backyad patio.

    Does a thumb drive plugged into a router's USB port count as NAS?

    NAS has it's own OS. To minimize frustration, installing NAS is good idea like a 2 bay unit.

    Linksys High Gain Antennas Reviewed

    For me, simply so called high gain antenna is really a directional antenna. Only way to have high gain on omni directional antenna is by increasing TX power.

    Issues connecting RT-AC68P to modem

    Are you doing all this testing with one only desk top or laptop? Tried some other one? Did you turn off modem and computer, wait few minutes, the power up one after another? Any difference? What is your NIC in the computer, by any chance an Intel one? Then you can run diagnostics when download...

    Trying to rebuild after a total home breach, problems abound..RT-AC3100 / Network Leak..

    AC-3100 no web or wifi

    Can you ping the router? Then maybe possible.

    RT-AC88U What is a good operating temperature for this router

    Personally if core temp. approaches 90F I'd start noticing and worried if it stays there all the time. Measurement of vent air temp will vary greatly with ambient temp. in the room. Also temperature varies depending on how busy the chip is. My house has year round indoor temp. of 68F. Also...

    High pitched whine from Netgear Dual Speed Hub?

    More like a poor shielding(poor ground) for switcing PSU circuit.

    RT-AC88U What is a good operating temperature for this router

    If you suspect heat, provide extra cooling to prove it. If you suspect flaky AC adapter, try another one. If you think f/w is doing it roll it back. And as already mentioned, check syslog for a possible clue. Trouble-shooting is logical process of elimination, not a random guess work.
