    How to access / admin Bridged routers?

    Yes, this makes sense for the radio (5 GHz) creating the Bridge... but it should not matter for the radio (2.4GHz) that is not. This is what is strange... I'll call ASUS support to see if they can help. I was thinking there would be several on the forum would have been using WDS with ASUS...

    How to access / admin Bridged routers?

    I got it working BUT I'm seeing some strange stuff... Using WDS Hybrid with 5GHz MAC addresses & set to same channel. Bridging/Repeating works fine if the 2.4GHz channels are the same... BUT stops working if I change them to be different!? I'd like to setup Wifi clients (for both...

    How to access / admin Bridged routers?

    AC68R Wifi speed & distance reduces over time

    I have tried stock and Merlin FW and find, that over time the signal strength will weaken and distance reduces. I can tell because video cams in different locations in the home will be unreachable, one at a time usually. Timeframe varies 1 day up to 3-4 days... reboot "fixes" the problem...

    RT-N68U requiring reboots every few days - any fix?

    RT-AC68U requiring reboots every few days - any fix? RT-AC68U I've used for ~3 months and no matter what firmware (regular or Merlin) it seems that I must power cycle it anywhere from once every 3 days to up to 10 days depending on usage. I have not overclocked or messed with anything really...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 374.40 Beta 2 is available

    hanging about once a week? I'm using RT-AC68U_3.0.0.4_374.39_0 and I'm getting freezes/hangs about once a week? No devices can communicate through the AC68U. To be clear, on the wired LAN side everything is through a separate gig switch which communicates fine with either other... only...

    RT-AC68R Wifi Settings tweaks?

    What tweaks have you guys done & reccomend to increase performance & distance? I'm not asking about the standard stuff: change channel, physical location, etc. I have 4 devices, all support 2.4GHz 801.11N - 2300sqft single level home but also want solid performance at the park 200 feet...

    Will adding external antennas increase range w/ Older Belkin?

    I have an old Belkin F7D4302 v1 w/ Tomato installed. I bought a Netgear R6300 and found it to be only slightly better with range and did not need see any features it had that I needed over Tomato. SO... I'm thinking maybe I should return the $150 router and buy a $15 external antenna kit...

    DIY NAS: HDD Wholesale Buy?

    Greg, Not trying to rain on anything here but the qualities you would likely need to hit to make any reasonable dent in the price would be in the thousands... or more. Places like NewEgg sell quantities that justify discounts to them. You might be able to negotiate with places like Insight...
