    CONTEXT ========= 380.58 on an RT-AC68U GOAL ===== I would like to only allow access to a whitelist of MAC addresses (wired and wireless). In Asus terms, it is the 'Wireless MAC Filter' tab under Wireless. Is it possible to expand the scope of the MAC filtering list to include any and all...

    NVRAM Dump: Sensitive Information Redaction

    As I understand it, the command: NVRAM show can provide useful troubleshooting information when provided to the community (via pastebin). Examples of potentially security-sensitive information include: ddns_hostname sshd_dsskey Originally, I thought it would be good to list items to be...

    Switch Seletion for Hub

    Is there a good source for operating temperature data, so that one can use this information in purchase decisions? This is an excellent thread: I appreciate the genuine interest (and excellence). Yikes! my HP Elitebook routinely idles at 57C and can spike up to 70 and that's after a recent...

    Ethernet Cable Questions

    SFX2000 is correct: you would need to measure / benchmark the unknown terminations. The context of its use (i.e. whether it is the bottle neck or not) will determine if it makes sense to re-terminate wit the recommended gear. A simple test: * measure unknown cable's performance in-situ *...

    DHCP Static-Lease Configuration from Command-line

    Thanks for putting me on the right-track. Is there a good example that's applicable to Merlin's 378.58 on an RT-AC78U: I would prefer to be certain that I am doing this correctly and avoid an accidental borking of other services (DNS, etc.) I'd also like to understand where this configuration...

    LAN hostname syntax: with / without the '.'

    This single change allows the Win10 box to resolve (ping) the hostname to an IP address without the '.' appended to the hostname. Thanks to all that responded.

    15 years later and multi AP setups are still terrible

    This is in interesting problem. The question that sits in my mind is which devices / technologies implement 'roaming' effectively? If a device is designed (hell-bent) on sticking with a wifi AP, it would need a routine to constantly monitor signal strengths and choose the strongest. Perhaps...

    LAN hostname syntax: with / without the '.'

    Thanks for nudging the conversation forward. All LAN devices are DHCP configured: I believe that that they are on the same domain. Is there a good CLI test to confirm this is or is not the case? Are the relevant router parameters in the screenshot below? Given the number of combinations...

    LAN hostname syntax: with / without the '.'

    Maximum DHCP Lease Time?

    This is an interesting comment. I am interested in understanding the line of reasoning that the problem lies with the wifi devices and not the router / DHCP. Can you walk me through it? Thanks
