    How to get around max connections limit in Web UI for SMB

    not exactly correct , its open source because the courts made it so , if the manufactures had their way its would not be so , we are now seeing this with wireless AC perhaps their is a reason for this , expectations vs common sense again as others have said and suggested the limits are there...

    How to get around max connections limit in Web UI for SMB

    its limited for a reason and i expect that reason if you allow more it would effect the performance of other functions within the router , as suggested prob time to look at a more professional way to run your business and network other than hacking design specs

    Stuck between two routers and a choppy NAS.

    i will try and answer this one for you what you are asking about is link aggregation or bonding of the wan ports , for this to happen you need a router that supports such function and you also need both provided dsl line suppliers to support it , only then would the 2 dsl line add together ...

    Orbi Connectivity Issues

    i think you misunderstand what UPnP does , if you turn of UPnP on a router you must manually port forward all and any connections needed and a lot of the comps need UPnP to run for things like video calling as well as many other things

    NETGEAR Announces DIY Orbi Extender

    so sort of justifies why anyone would buy a tri band router , however would you like to sacrifice the fast high band 5 gig of the main just to dedicate it to the ex8000 , its prob more a good use of the low 5 gig band that no one tends to use the r7800 would work but you would be sharing the 5...

    NETGEAR Announces DIY Orbi Extender

    just to clear 2 things up as its not evident in the explanation , the backhaul is not exactly the same as the orbi as its not dedicated unless you choose to use the high 5 gig band of your main router only for connecting to this extender , the band steering and fast roaming support are only...

    Orbi Connectivity Issues

    i can assure you they know about these issues and are actively working on them why would you want to do that , its part of the process , these things usually only get found in the wild and reported to the forums where they can be auctioned and replicated and then attempted codes to fix , the...

    Looking for: Mesh System w/AP-Mode & Guest Network simultaneously

    then tbh you would be crazy not to use it and just have proper access points something like a couple of ubiquiti unifi AC lite AP's https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000166827-UniFi-Wireless-Guest-Network-Setup

    Looking for: Mesh System w/AP-Mode & Guest Network simultaneously

    so do you have ethernet installed to different parts of the house or do you want the mesh system to run on wifi and just have its router in ap mode and thats the difficult bit , when in AP mode the router in its system is not controlling the guest network and so cant differentiate between the...

    ASUS Lyra Home Wi-Fi System Reviewed

    there are two issues that may come to mind 1. transmission being to close to source as indicated in the test procedure 2. test architecture being incorrect again , pull the lyra out of the chamber and test the old way in your house , if you get the same results then sure it indicates...

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

    from reading the pdf its not obvious how the link would be made or if the router could use the dedicated backhaul of the lyra or if it would connect to its fronthaul but its def able to be incorporated , i guess we will find out more as the beta test progresses
