    Not getting gigabit Internet on AC5300 (Merlin) - Enable Hardware Flow Acceleration (Level 2) ?

    Unfortunately No. I even tried a full power-reset of both the router and that PC. I also booted that PC with Linux, still the same speed for Internet download.

    Not getting gigabit Internet on AC5300 (Merlin) - Enable Hardware Flow Acceleration (Level 2) ?

    UPDATE: I don't know if this makes any difference to my case but... It looks like one of my PC's DOES have 1Gbps download speed. My other PC is still stuck at 350Mbps download speed though. However, it still can do SMB file transfers at 1Gbps, but not Internet downloads.

    Not getting gigabit Internet on AC5300 (Merlin) - Enable Hardware Flow Acceleration (Level 2) ?

    Thanks for the tip. I had actually tried that. Unfortunately, it didnt make any difference.

    Not getting gigabit Internet on AC5300 (Merlin) - Enable Hardware Flow Acceleration (Level 2) ?

    Thank you @SheikhSheikha for taking the time to help me out. Now I know that NAT acceleration on Auto is good enough. I'm already using firmware 384.17. Unless there's a huge benefit to using 384.18alpha over 384.17... I'll probably just keep this firmware for now. My current settings are...

    Not getting gigabit Internet on AC5300 (Merlin) - Enable Hardware Flow Acceleration (Level 2) ?

    I recently upgraded to a 1000Mbps Internet connection. To my surprise, my PC's are not getting any more than around 350Mbps. However, I am able to do SMB file transfers between both PC's at >900Mbps... as fast as my Ethernet cards can handle. Also, I can get full speed internet by bypassing...

    Enabling Hardware Flow Acceleration (Level 2) in AC87U

    I have an Asus AC5300 (Merlin Firmware Version: 384.13) Is it required to clear the router's NVRAM for the below steps to work? The reason I'm asking is I still can't get hardware Flow Acceleration to be enabled. I'm only able to enable CTF (Cut Through Forwarding)... in yellow text. -...

    TTL expired in transit - Help needed to recover from this!

    Update. Issue resolved. I was finally able to get through to my ISP. It looks like this issue was affecting several people, not just me.

    TTL expired in transit - Help needed to recover from this!

    I already tried Re-enabling that setting and reset my router and modem. I doubt enabling Jumbo Packets caused the issue directly, especially since it was meant for the LAN side of things, not WAN. Routing loop on a provider edge router isn't something me or anyone else would probably able to...

    TTL expired in transit - Help needed to recover from this!

    I had the bright idea to enable jumbo packets on my Asus router. Shortly after I did that, none of my machines can reach server IP: news.newserver.com (not the actual name) and also another news server from another provider. This created a huge problem for me since I depend on both almost...

    Asus router suggestion with Merlin support, 2.5Gbps Ethernet WAN, Wifi6

    Thanks for letting me know. So, you're saying to save up for the the Rt-AX89x when it comes out? No other Asus routers will do it?

    Asus router suggestion with Merlin support, 2.5Gbps Ethernet WAN, Wifi6

    I'm curious what are my choices if I wanted to get an Asus router with Merlin firmware support, 2.5Gbps Ethernet WAN port, and Wifi 6? I'm curious what the most affordable "great" router would be that does all of this. I currently have an Asus RT-AC5300. However, it doesn't have a 2.5Gbps...

    Looking for a small wifi-only aimesh router

    It is for my needs, and the only available option currently. That's what Ive been using for years. Anyway, I was asking for a product suggestion, not why the product should or shouldn't be placed there.

    Looking for a small wifi-only aimesh router

    Two of my Asus routers allow for aimesh already. However, I also have a tiny ASUS-RP-AC56 range extender that plugs directly into the bathroom wall (which that doesnt support aimesh). I would like to replace this device with an aimesh compatible range extender. I tried looking for one, but...

    [Release 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.4 is now available

    I'm getting the same error over and over again on my AC5300. I searched for this error on Google search; and found this forum thread.

    Is there a way to end a DHCP lease from router?

    Update, I finally figured what was going on. As you guys suspected, a device with that MAC address WAS connecting to my network and disconnecting. I was thrown off because my Asus router was identifing that MAC address with a hostname that is has never had before. As soon as I released the...

    Is there a way to end a DHCP lease from router?

    It looks like this device's lease goes down to about 10 hours or so, then resets itself back to 24 hours lease time. This has happened several times already in the last several days. Since it was looking like this device's lease would stay in an indefinite loop without the lease ever running...

    Is there a way to end a DHCP lease from router?

    The problem is that the lease does NOT clear at the expiry time that was set. It reaches down to about 10hours of lease time left; then resets back to 24 hours. It's done this several times already in the last several days. This is definitely not normal behavior. I finally used the commands...

    Is there a way to end a DHCP lease from router?

    Okay, I just this this, however, the "another device" in the manually assigned DHCP IP list kept the same MAC address as the offending device that's not on my network anymore. I need to flush out the MAC address (and any other trace) of the old offending device or I'll definitely run into...

    Is there a way to end a DHCP lease from router?

    Thank you. If I manually assign the same IP to my new device, what happens to the device that still has an active lease when it reconnects to my network? Will there be an IP address conflict? Also, I'm certain there's something wrong with this currently active lease, its lease period NEVER...

    Is there a way to end a DHCP lease from router?

    Is there any way to end a DHCP lease from the router? I have an active DHCP lease for a device that keeps renewing; even though that device hasn't been connected in a couple of days. My DHCP lease time is set to 24 hours (86400 seconds). I tried to restart my router; thinking that would make...
