    Access device connected to Asus router remotely?

    If you are accessing through/from a mobile device, then easy way - not the best or worst way though - is to use "Instant Guard" in the VPN section of the WebUI and the associated mobile app. *Unless things have changed you may need to allow access to the router absolutely just temporarily the...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.7 is now available

    I note that under the "USB Application" the menu fly-out lists "Advanced_TencentDownloadAcceleration" while the main page of the section lists "Download Master".

    Solved Cannot add node into AiMesh

    You've responded to an old post. In many cases you can join AiMesh over WiFi now, although there is the possibility that some combinations may still not work.

    IPv6 Traceroute broken in 388.6 ?

    While I get back more than you guys. What I get is distinctly odd! Tracing route to gitlab.jorhett.com [2001:1868:a108:80::9] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 2 ms 2 ms 3 ms 2a00:im:not:daft::1 2 4 ms 4 ms 4 ms 2a00:2302::1102:203:508 3 * * *...

    Vigor167 & RT-AX5400 Short connection interruptions WAN

    Hmm... Pre FTTP my combos included: Vigor 130 > RT-AC68U Vigor 130 > RT-AC86U Vigor 166k > RT-AC86U Vigor 166k > GT-AX6000 All via Vodafone UK and I never had any router PPPoE issues. I recall from somewhere (possibly kitz.co.uk) that it's very important that you have the correct hardware...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.7 is now available

    Clean install on my GT-AX6000, as I've been dirty upgrading since late last year and wanted back to a minimalistic setup. Reloaded my Dynv6.com DualStack DDNS so one of the internal servers is available over IPv6 fuss-free (when I choose it to be). Only issue was that it took a reboot after...

    Unmanaged to managed switch

    You probably need to tell us who your ISP is. What you are doing won't work on most ISPs, and may work weirdly in the extreme (and unsafely) on some others! Have a look at https://www.spiceworks.com/tech/networking/articles/network-switch-vs-router/ it's less than perfect, but not a bad...

    Type of fiber adapter needed with this??

    The little throwaway line that the ONT function is built onto the SFP module - just any SFP module is probably not going to work where you need ONT functionality. Also, I doubt it breaches the ToS doing this!!

    [tools] Waveform Bufferbloat Test

    The Waveform bufferbloat test does seem to be available here, and works-ish. But if you are not on a slow connection it's pretty irrelevant anyhow. Oh and "ping-plotter" you either have to use the free trial or pay for it, if you try using a "cracked" version, it's your device that will be...

    Type of fiber adapter needed with this??

    One thing at a time is probably best! Optical Network Terminals are mostly active devices that decode your data from a multiplexed stream, so they often cannot be removed (unlike Passive Optical Network devices). At least (I believe) the Nokia has a bridge mode, which means you can use your own...

    Explain IP pools to me like i'm seven years old

    If you try to explain IP pools to a seven-year-old, you get jello up the walls, and end up sleeping in the garage when the other half finds out!

    Synology RT2600ac and WPS

    Not enabling WPS on modern iPhones is an active choice Apple has made. It's not a fault on your router! Thanks to its insecurity WPS is usually best turned off!

    Does the latest AsusWRT/Merlin FW has a memory leak?

    A quick search would show that the router is almost certainly just using memory as a cache - as it's designed to. Unused memory is wasted memory, especially when that memory could be used to speed other things up. If you were using the Merlin firmware, you'd be able to see how much of that...

    Check that the router can see your USB drive!

    Have global ipv6 address but unable to access internet over ipv6

    Until you have everything up and running I'd take the PiHole out of the equation. Also how are you testing that you are not connecting using IPv6? The Chrome/Edge extension IPFoo can be a useful tool - it can be enlightening to see how much you are still pulling over IPv4 even when IPv6 is...

    Weird issue with an GT-AX6000 when maxing out ISP provided speeds.

    Umm, on Asus Firmware ethernet port 1 is prioritised, if you don't want it to hog your connection, don't use port 1! I think you'll find info on this in the gaming section of the router Web UI.

    ASUS ExpertWiFi EBG15

    It seems a very odd direction to be going in. Bluetooth setup, WiFi via additional APs only, no 2.5Gbps or 10Gbps port(s). Very odd! I'd also wonder with the 8+1 port PoE version does it have a switched power supply?

    12V ASUS router with the longest 2.4GHz WiFi range

    I'd be making sure that it is the router that's the problem before doing anything else! You should be able to see the signal strength to the bulb from "Network Map: View List" on your router. Unless it's only a single bar I'd not be worried about the signal strength - most smart bulb only sip...

    Ienron switches any good for managed switch?

    The problem is that if the brand is an unknown quantity, you don't know what you are buying. Agreed a "basic" network switch is something you should plug in and forget, but when you move to "smart switches", it's going to have some software component and you need to know the SFP+ ports are...

    Do I need a PoE Filter?

    PoE - Power over Ethernet! Are you powering the MoCA boxes using PoE, in which case you would need an injector (not a filter) on the ethernet leading to each MoCA device. *Im in the UK so MoCA is incredibly rare here, so if I'm wrong I will yield!
