    DNS description thread?

    I would like to make a wish now before Christmas and all: That someone that know how the DNS solutions that now are available for Asus Routers with RMerlin's superb versions, creates a preferable sticky post that yes simply describes the options available and well comes with some sort of...

    Using NTP server protected by DNSSEC?

    Why not use static IP address instead of DNS name resolution?

    AX88 - RAM Usage - how much is normal?

    Well if it realy caches all filenames, then I see the problem also - however since this was a 4TB 3.5" disc I am not 100% sure it does since it from-time-to-time had to spinn up the disc to be able to read file structure....

    AX88 - RAM Usage - how much is normal?

    It is about 1TB of FLAC, but as I mentioned it is only a few files per hour that is used. Take a normalt CD, it might be about 45 minutes per album, so say about 5 albums per day that is streamed? and maybe a movie. This is not a large volume. Not in my world.

    AX88 - RAM Usage - how much is normal?

    My "normal" load for file sharing is my music FLAC collection, so it might be a few files per hour or so. Then maybe a movie (ripped DVDs). Nothing fancy at all. Getting a NAS for this kind of file sharing seems wrong in my eyes.

    AX88 - RAM Usage - how much is normal?

    Although I do belong in the "old kind of club" - each box for it self, I still like some minor simple things to well just work. - I do not need a NAS, I just need to share a few files - why do I need to buy a NAS for that? - I do not need a Server for filesharing, I need a server for my...

    AX88 - RAM Usage - how much is normal?

    Yes and NO. Yes because that is how it is used currently. NO since I actually would like to use some of the features. For example if USB drives attached to my router had worked I would most likly never moved it from the router to my server. I would have loved to keep it there. However I need to...

    AX88 - RAM Usage - how much is normal?

    Btw I can easily get +30 days from my AX88 if I do not use SAMBA (and have no attached USB drive more than the "swap" USB drive I currently use) or anything else (no OpenVPN, no nothing - boring I know).

    AX88 - RAM Usage - how much is normal?

    When I read all this, from my own well rather limited question, I end up with the quest for an even more powerfull router - however I know of no one more powerful than my current AX88 - well there is that OpnSense/pfSense route then with Unifi wireless Access Points then. But that is a such...

    AX88 - RAM Usage - how much is normal?

    Yes of course - that is why I moved the drive from my router. But my first questions was, and well maybe still is, how much RAM does it really take to start the router up?

    AX88 - RAM Usage - how much is normal?

    As end-info kind of: Removed my 4TB 3.5" USB drive, uninstalled the AMTM modules I did not need (connection monitor and speedcheck). End result: 568MB of RAM after reboot and all.

    AX88 - RAM Usage - how much is normal?

    Nope! Maybe more than 1GB but for sure 500GB will get me into problems with my router. So yes you might get alot more than 1GB but for sure less than 500GB.

    AX88 - RAM Usage - how much is normal?

    Well I do have two USB disks attached: 1) Samsung T5 SSD for swap and all that - can't remove that one.... 2) 4TB 3.5" Drive for all movies and music - it is not supposed to be attached to my AX88, however for some time it has been. I am not sure about why it uses so much after boot. Yes after...

    AX88 - RAM Usage - how much is normal?

    Yeah I know how Ram on a Linux System works. However what I had the last couple of days are 99% Ram usage and when that happens my WiFi gets none responsive, and all wireless devices can not reach Internet. So after a cold reboot, I noticed 729 MB of ram used, and we'll Ax88 has 1024 MB and my...

    AX88 - RAM Usage - how much is normal?

    So I have a AX88, however it uses 729 MB of RAM after reboot - is this normal? I think something eats something or something?

    Migrating from ac88 to ax88

    I did this a couple of months ago, and decided NOT to migrate - I just started from scratch with my new AX88 sitting next to me (during the build pahse I used different SSID's for Wifi - that was the only difference). It was for me much easier since I also had to change my "CheckIfHome" script...

    Best Merlin-supported router?

    Might add that the RT-AC86U is most bang-for-the-buck - price will always be a factor....

    FAQ(?): Recommended devices?

    As a former owner of AC88 - that had problems with 4 out of 8 ethernets ports I would say that AC88 is maybe not the best device, nor AC3100. My shortlist is: 1) AC68 - if you are on a budget. 2) AC86 - the smart choice 3) AX88 - the expensive choice Now I have one AX88, but I could easily go...
