    Router WAN port passing out private IP?

    No, the article suggests blocking the 192.168.100.1 as a destination in Network Services, thus blocking it from being sent out of the WAN port (which is how the GUI in the modem communicates with the router), the theory being that if the router cannot call up the GUI, any malicious code that may...

    So where is AC87's MU-MIMO that we were promised?

    The Galaxy S5 and the other devices you mention are only two-stream, not three-stream. Again there are no three-stream clients yet., let alone 4x4. The 801 and 805 Snapdragons are capable of supporting three-streams but not at this time with the existing firmware. And the S6 isn't even...

    Which is the problem?

    You had to have connected at least once to your wireless router, otherwise, you would not see the TV in the router's Network Map as a wireless client. A secured, encryped wireless just can't connect itself to a device. You must have connected the TV to the router at least once, otherwise, it...

    So where is AC87's MU-MIMO that we were promised?

    Sheesh. The RT-AC87U is a "4x4 MU-MIMO" design. Nothing untrue about that. Also nothing untrue about the fact that there currently exist no 4x4 MU-MIMO clients as of March 7, 2015. Funk, you assume that because you don't have any 4x4 MU-MIMO clients, that Asus hasn't "enabled" MU-MIMO in...

    Which is the problem?

    Honestly, Secret Boy, I'm puzzled. I understand that your TV switches states between NIC's, disabling one when the other is connected. But if you have wireless security enabled, the TV can't connect itself without you allowing it to do so. You had to have given the TV the wireless password...

    Router WAN port passing out private IP?

    Horowitz isn't the only one who has written about this issue. At The Wirecutter, they also noted this as an update posted on January 23, 2015 to an older review of the Motorola-Arris SB6141

    Router WAN port passing out private IP?

    Recently came across this article in ComputerWorld by their security blogger Michael Horowitz who writes the "Defensive Computing" column. http://www.computerworld.com/article/2887243/using-a-router-to-block-a-modem.html The gist of the article is that many routers, including most Asus...

    Which is the problem?

    Then why are you intentionally connecting both the Ethernet and Wireless NIC's? Neither one can connect automatically. Both require your intervention to connect (plugging in the Ethernet cable, and giving the password to the wireless NIC). Connect one or the other, and then you won't have...

    Which is the problem?

    I'll ask again...are you running your router without any security encryption enabled? It would appear so, because if you can't turn off the wireless adapter in the TV, the only way it could be connecting without your intervention (giving it the password for the SSID so it can connect) is if...

    Which is the problem?

    The pictures show two completely different MAC addresses; they are different devices, or at least two different network interfaces. Is it your intent to connect your SmartTV via a wired connection or wireless? If wired, you should go into the TV's settings and turn off the wireless adapter...

    Asus locking down routers to comply with new FCC rules

    Simon, Yes, that is why I also wrote in my post to Jim-Asus this: I had your reported experience and our exchange about the other channels on your Asus in mind. Sorry I didn't mention your experience specifically by name, but hopefully Jim-Asus will not be too burdened by reading back...

    Asus locking down routers to comply with new FCC rules

    Thanks. I was a aware of that, but since this new fellow claims to have connections directly with Asus insiders, I'd like to hear them acknowledge what we know to be the case, i.e., that the UK is bound by the R&TTE Directives and that there isn't any such thing as a separate "UK" region, and...

    Asus locking down routers to comply with new FCC rules

    BTW, one thing I left out of my post above: When Dr. T refers to "PROPERLY LOCALISED" firmware, I think he is referring to a specific UK setting, and not just one that is an all-encompassing EU setting baked into the firmware. That, in and of itself is an entirely separate issue, and has to...

    Asus locking down routers to comply with new FCC rules

    Not to speak for Dr. T (I would never presume to do that), but I think I can distill for you the issue that people in the UK are concerned about: First, Asus wireless routers sold in the UK apparently only allow (with unmodified, stock firmware) the end-user to use channels 36, 40, 44 and 48...

    Aruba into the soup

    Probably not such bad news for Aruba customers, most of whom are not the same types of consumers that HP has traditionally targeted, but more professional and enterprise oriented. I would anticipate that if HP completes the acquisition, they'll keep Aruba mostly intact to be able to try to...

    New smart 4K and 1080P HDTV only wireless N

    SFX: Interesting test results. Clearly more streams are better and wider channels are better as well. Yep, 4K will no doubt consume even more bandwidth. Which is why I think most manufacturers are waiting to see how .11ac develops and whether 160mhz wide channels will ever be a functional...

    Like the new site!

    Great makeover. Very nice and clean format. I like the search function as well, and the fact that if you select "reply" to a particular message it automatically quotes the text to which you're replying. No more "Last Page" selection. Now just clicking on the last numbered page above takes...

    Small LCD for router

    With the LCD monitor, would it also be possible to run a USB keyboard on the N66U's second USB port?

    Asus locking down routers to comply with new FCC rules

    To Dr. Teeth: Bits said it really succinctly: No need to be "hacked off", Doc. The UK really is part of the EU, and has been for quite a long time. Your info is old and outdated.
