    Asus RT-AC68U cannot handle 1000 Mbps IPTV connection

    I left off a detail in my original response. When my gig cable was only delivering 300Mb, the gateway I had (from Xfinity) was in bridge mode. I wanted my router to handle all the public-facing work and I needed to avoid a double-NAT situation for my Plex server. Turns out the gateway (I forget...

    Asus RT-AC68U cannot handle 1000 Mbps IPTV connection

    I had a 68U that was also underpowered for my ISP gigabit connection. It maxed out around the same numbers (300 down, 40 up). I bought a 86U and it gives me the full 940 down and 40 up on my cable gigabit link. The 68U is just underpowered these days. It's a 1 ghz dual core processor whereas...

    Best practices for upgrading AIMesh master & nodes?

    I did use @OzarkEdge's post to walk through the reset process. Honestly, it didn't work for me. Essentially, what *did work* was a nuclear reset, and then do a Quick Setup on the node to set it as an AIMesh node (no reboot!) in order to get the Master to recognize it and add it to the mesh. I...

    Best practices for upgrading AIMesh master & nodes?

    I had a hell of a time recovering my routers when upgrading from 384.13 to 384.15. I have an 86U and a 68U (aimesh node). I won’t recount all the steps I had to take to get AIMesh working again but suffice it to say at least one chicken was sacrificed. I recovered to 384.14_2. And being a...

    Need help setting up Draytek 2920N to allow VNC

    Yes, got it figured out. 1. In the Vigor web interface, click on the NAT item in the left menu. 2. When NAT expands, choose the "Open Ports" sub-item. 3. Click on the first available index (usually 1 if you haven't set anything yet). 4. Click on "enable open ports" 5. In the...

    Need help setting up Draytek 2920N to allow VNC

    I have a Draytek Vigor 2920N. I bought it based on the recommendations in these forums for a solid router that could handle a multi-wan setup. So far it is working beautifully. However, it's interface is quite a bit more complicated than what I am used to particularly for setting up the...

    Can "cable" routers be used with metro ethernet?

    All up and working I just wanted to circle back and answer my own question. Using a cable modem router to terminate this circuit has worked *very* well. The circuit came right up (kudos to RCN) and passed traffic on the first try. However, there were a few issues that needed to be worked...

    Can "cable" routers be used with metro ethernet?

    Their demarc is the 3750. The SMF is terminated in the 3750 so any equipment my buddies provide will connect to that switch. I am assuming (I will verify with the RCN folks) that they are providing some layer3 upstream so that the little broadband switch at the far end doesn't have to perform...

    Can "cable" routers be used with metro ethernet?

    I tried searching for "metro ethernet" to see if this topic had been discussed before but came up dry. Several friends of mine just moved into a small house in Chicago. The prior owners had run a small business out of a back room and had fiber installed from RCN Metro. They are looking to get...
