    Need to replace WNR3000v3 advice please?

    Good choice. You will be even happier if you switch to Merlin's FW instead of using the stock AsusWRT.

    OVERWHELMED AND NEED HELP

    LOL....SEM, again with Mikrotik? Really? In the context of this thread, you're seriously suggesting to a person who ways he was "overwhelmed" by the various reviews of consumer routers that he consider getting a Mikrotik product? Yeah, that's the ticket.....suggesting a brand that is...

    Small LCD for router

    Pretty cool. You could probably make some money selling those as an add-on device if you had a cheap enough supply of the LCD screens. Especially to people who can't figure out how to type 192.168.1.1.:)

    OVERWHELMED AND NEED HELP

    As noted in a couple of other threads on the subject of streaming and SmartTV's, even if the OP were to subscribe to Netflix (or Hulu, Amazon Prime, or use any of the pre-installed streaming apps that typically come pre-installed on many Smart TV's today), you don't really need much more than...

    New smart 4K and 1080P HDTV only wireless N

    To the best of my knowledge, there is only oneSmart TV on the market now that even uses 802.11ac, and that's the Vizio P702UI-B3 - 70-Inch 4K Ultra HD 240Hz Smart LED Smart TV. Most Smart TV's started out with only 2.4ghz 802.11n, and a lot of more recent mainstream models feature at least...

    Wireless Bridge lame question

    Agreed, which is why I said about "half"", i.e., something a bit less than ~60%.

    SB6183 - Work with E3000?

    What Rubik said.... I'm on the TWC 300/20 and paying about $90 per month for internet (I was originally on 50/2 and they upped it for free to 100/5, and then I just decided to pay another $30 for the 300/20....And I think it's well worth it. Solid speeds, great connectivity. I have the...

    Asus locking down routers to comply with new FCC rules

    Dr. Teeth just woke up. Just like Rip Van Winkle.:confused:

    Thanks. Good to know.

    Re-routing Google's DNS

    Silly question but here goes: Why do you want to block Google's DNS servers? I understand that you want to do that, but if I'm not being too forward about this, I'm just curious why you'd want to do that at all. What's the issue/problem with allowing a connected device (like an Android...

    Asus locking down routers to comply with new FCC rules

    Thanks for the info. And since you're mentioning country codes, this works both ways, i.e., not just from the wireless router/AP to the device, but also the other way, with the device transmitting back to the AP and deciding what region/country code it should be operating under. Most...

    On 374.43_2 ... any reason to update?

    As Kel-L said, it depends what router you're using. I've tried (and continue to sample) each new version of Merlin's FW as they are released. I'm using two AC66U's, one as router the other as repeater, and I have to say, that I am still currently using 374.43_2 myself. It provides the best...

    Asus locking down routers to comply with new FCC rules

    Then I'm not sure I understand your point. If it's that Cisco says it's a "UK region" and therefore a "UK region" code exists, that's just semantics. Cisco can call it whatever they want. It doesn't matter because whatever they call it it's still an EU region code only, and the same...

    Asus locking down routers to comply with new FCC rules

    Look, the ETSI rules recently enacted (mentioned elsewhere in this very long thread) require that any wireless router sold in the EU can no longer allow the end user to modify channels or power or change region coding. Period. The fact that Cisco exposes more channels than does Asus or...

    OVERWHELMED AND NEED HELP

    I'm not going to compare features of the various routers; that's really what the reviews are for. If your head is spinning at those reviews, your head is telling you something: Those routers are likely just overkill for your current and foreseeable future needs. To just browse the internet...

    IPv6 not working with Merlin 378.50

    I guess I didn't follow what you were saying, i.e., that you wanted to be able to allow all inbound traffic from the WAN side into your LAN. There's a lot of info available on that subject. See, e.g., this link, which contains the following useful info: The question is whether you...

    IPv6 not working on RT-AC66R

    No. You only need to set the IPv4 DNS servers and then on IPv6, you set it to "Native" and make sure DHCP-DP is "enabled". Also, for IPV6 DNS Settings, it should be set to "Connect to DNS Server automatically"-- Enabled. No. That has not been my experience at all. Unless you have an ISP...

    Asus locking down routers to comply with new FCC rules

    Not at all surprised that 132 and 136 bond to give you 40mhz width, but would have expected 136 and 140 to bond also at 40mhz. Obviously, it only works in one direction, so that if you choose 140, it won't bond in reverse.

    Asus locking down routers to comply with new FCC rules

    Just a couple of comments and questions: There is no "UK" region, only EU. Remember, the UK is a member of the EU and Ofcom has agreed to be bound by ETSI's interpretations and implementation of the RT&T which governs all manufacturers in the EU. So your router does "know" where it...

    IPv6 not working with Merlin 378.50

    I really think you should just try the suggestion I gave you yesterday in this thread. Remove the IPv6 DNS server settings you've input into the GUI (in the middle section below the native IPv6 info that will load automatically once you set "Native"). You don't need to separately supply...
