    Overclock AC68U

    1: Setting this in NVRAM does it require a reboot? Because I just SSH and changed mine to 1000,800 2: how can I see it on a GUI page? How can I tell if it worked at all?

    QNAP - When hard drives go "BAD"

    Never use GREEN drives for a NAS, they go up and down on power to be "green" Red drives are probably the best they are designed for a NAS 24/7 BUT not like in a data center with 1000's or read/writes a day, but SOHO use they are good/small biz I got a TS-419P+ and don't keep it on all the time...

    the Authentication method is WPA2-Personnal/AES both 2.4Ghz/5Ghz preshared key is same I think it has something to do with the encryption I had these problems with the Linksys WRT1900AC (the kid's iMac and a few other things) with loggin into the router to connect to net Sometimes yes, sometimes...

    Which router has the most output power?

    I WISH my place was real big.....it's a single story townhouse 1083 SQ FT under air. I know that it's all do to the DEVICE power in transmitting back to the router. BUT, more output power would mean more sensitivity in hearing. The router can 'shout' louder so it could 'hear' better. So the...

    Which router has the most output power?

    I am not going to try multiple brands I am really trying to decide if I want to go with AP's and a true router or keep this Asus I got right now. Nothing can beat being wired into a switch/router @ 1Gb but I am looking at reliability. A AP you set and forget and I am thinking of just going to...

    Which router has the most output power?

    I am probably going to send this RT-AC68U back. Had the Linksys WRT-1900AC and had problems, sent it back to Amazon and got the Asus but I am just not keen on it. I am looking and looking and in Merlin's build the output is at 200mW MILLIWATTS? I read Amped wireless is at 600Mw and one at 700mW...

    Tried JUMBO Frames still getting slow LAN

    1: Yes thru Time Machine but I excluded all directories except /user 2: I know there is overhead in networking yes, but what I am looking at is coming from my iMac in HSF going over the Gb internal to my QNAP in EXT4 file format. I could say that would be another 20% loss, so taken say 35% loss...
