    WRT1900AC Spontaneous Reboots, lockups

    I changed the routers ip address to what I wanted, then added my DCHP reservations. Only when I connected it to my other router, did it reset everything automatically. I do not have any other routers that do this. I just hooked up a Cisco e2000 set to 192.168.1.1 and has other DCHP reservation...

    WRT1900AC Spontaneous Reboots, lockups

    There was no ip conflict. Everything thing on my network is set on the 192.168.0.X subnet. I can connect other routers to my main router or switch, and they do not change their set ip address or set static DHCP reservations..no matter if they are set to the same 192.168.0 range...or another...

    WRT1900AC Spontaneous Reboots, lockups

    When I was testing mine, if I disconnected it from my WAN as the main router, then later I fired it up and connected it up to my current router.(WAN would be DHCP)..just to check for updates or to play with it some more.... The WRT auto changed its Static IP address I had set for it from a...

    Whats are Pro and Cons connecting a external hardisk to wireless router

    My reading was taken from just having the drive plugged up to a wall adapter to sata power cord with a watt meter attached. Power reading was about 15watts at spin up..then settled down to about 9 watts...idle, no sata data cord connected. When I hooked up a sata to esata cable and accessed the...

It is going nowhere fast. "the problem is the drivers. They are in a state, that makes it difficult to...

    RT-AC68 VPN able to make anonymous?

    Never heard of "6 strike" warning. My ISP never bothers me..and I download what ever I want. Now, I have heard of folks with Comcast getting warning letters for torrenting Linux distros(which is 100% legal). Some ISP's are very...um..."big brother" like...just waiting to accuse you of...

    Whats are Pro and Cons connecting a external hardisk to wireless router

    There is 0 upkeep with freenass. I set it up once, set my shares and have never touched it since...aside from OS updates..and adding a drive here and there. Very easy to use. There are dozens of features I don't use. Only thing I use is SAMBA(windows) shares. I do see options for Apple and Unix...

    Whats are Pro and Cons connecting a external hardisk to wireless router

    The drive I have a WD blue 7200rpm from 2012...that is what my watt meter says when I hook it up to a power cord by itself. HDDs havn't changed much. Even an older SATA drive, about the same. And, yea, WD red, 5400rpm drives....wow, didn't know they were that slow....i only use 7200rpm or...

    Whats are Pro and Cons connecting a external hardisk to wireless router

    So...don't get hardware like mine. Even an old P4 with no expansion cards uses little power. I have a friend who uses one of those for his NAS and he reports only very minimal increase in energy usage. Get a Atom sff or something similar low power system....still 1/4 the price of a Buffalo link...

    Enabling IPv6 on WRT1900AC causing reboots?

    Yup...also, you can run a trace on what server it is connecting to, and see where it is, and then lookup what ISP runs it etc. Did that a few times back when I was messing around with Wireshark.

    Enabling IPv6 on WRT1900AC causing reboots?

    LOL! That's Comcast traffic shaping/prioritization for yea. I get steady results like that at my folks house when I run multiple tests on thier Comcast. But come, the evening hours, or late night, when neighbors are home, WAN is at a crawl. Downloads are less than 1MB's and YouTube just...

    Whats are Pro and Cons connecting a external hardisk to wireless router

    Not much....my FreeNAS desktop...an Asus ATX enthusiast board with a AMD atholn II triple core, on board video, 8gb ddr2 ram, and 8 drives (all 7,200rpm) , 500watt psu....hooked up to my watt meter...at load...only about 150 watts, under 80 at idle. And very fast, I use ZFS on all drives and...

    RT-AC68 VPN able to make anonymous?

    You can use the router to connect to a VPN service and that VPN provider may offer some form of privacy/anonymity...but...those things do cost a lot, and many have data cap limits.

    Whats are Pro and Cons connecting a external hardisk to wireless router

    I say just use FreeNAS or NAS4Free and re-purpose a desktop or laptop computer. U can get a dual core core2duo off lease office pc(like a dell 755 sff or HP DC5800) for $50 or so. Or a cheap AMD based system for cheaper. Though, far as router based NAS, the linkys WRT 1900AC router...

    Enabling IPv6 on WRT1900AC causing reboots?

    For the record....ipv6 on my AC56U (and when I was testing the WRT 1900AC) "worked" since day one. CenturyLink is awesome as far as ipv6 goes...they use 6rd setting. I did extensive testing with ipv4/6 a while back ago and ipv4 was better. I recently turned ipv6 back on and I have not noticed...

    Enabling IPv6 on WRT1900AC causing reboots?

    Is there a particular reason you have ipv6 enabled....? There really is no advantage to having it enabled at this point. Depends on your ISP, it may actually make things slower if they use a tunnel. I tested having ipv6 on, and to sites that default to ipv6 when it can, tests showed much...

    OpenWRT for Linksys WRT1900AC

    So....let me get this straight....Belkin produces and markets a device claiming to be "Open Source ready"....and overlooked the fine detail that the chipset manufacture they chose is proprietary and won't release open source drivers. Don't u think it would have been best to work this all out...
