    R7800 Dynamic QoS?

    Mak, that is a new unit so your probably one of the first to own it. If you want to turn on the dynamic qos and report back to us then that's a great idea.

    Hardware Sophos Home Firewall or pfsense

    Franz, I use the Sophos home for my home. |It is excellent. The learning curve is semi-steep but google and the Sophos forums are you friend. The main reason I chose it over pfSense is because it is more secure. By default most home level FW's assume traffic originating from the inside is secure...

    NETGEAR R7500 Nighthawk X4 AC2350 Router

    I have this router right now too. Updated it from shipped firmware to latest per a reviewers recommendation. I downgraded the firmware & tested myself. I get better wireless rates on the newer firmware. I use ie & opera as my primary browsers on my windows 7 machine. I too see the slow web...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 374.40 is out

    Has anyone ever seen this behavior from an asus web gui before? I have not but its weird. I am running my rt-n66u as a 5ghz only bridge on merling 374.40 2.4ghz is disabled. The title bar starts off level but the right side tilts down & some of the webpage colors shift from blue to red. I...

    Command line disable 2.4ghz radio

    L&LD, thank you for the prompt response. I did click the yellow exclamation & it brought up the small box that I showed in the screen cap. That, in turn did not respond with a 2nd page or taking me to the gui to correct the issue. I suppose that could be a browser issue (firefox) but what...

    Command line disable 2.4ghz radio

    I have my rt-N66U running 374.40 (merlin) in bridge mode. The bridge is on the 5ghz channel, which I want but there is a yellow flashing exclamation point in the upper right indicating the wireless is insecure. Since I know I set the 5ghz properly with wpa2 personal w AES AND the 2.4 radio...

    Which Model to buy?

    Personally I would get the max bays I could. I started out with the ds210+. Great 2 bay but after replacing a pair of 1tb w/2 2tb's then from those to two 3tb's I decided to pull the trigger on a 5 bay 1512+. I still don't even have a drive in the 5th bay but its there for easy expansion &...

    Synology released version 4.3 of the OS (DSM) this week

    The ability to run the report & locate/delete dupe files IS in 4.3 You just have to read the forums over at synology.com That's how I learned the process. It is quite simple really. Once you get the report, you can right click on the file in the report & delete it from in the report...

    Will the ASUS RT-N66U fill my needs?

    I agree with Pierino. Neither stock or Merlin (which is a better than but keeps inline with stock) firmware do not support strictly bridge mode. They do support repeater mode but that's not exactly the same thing & not what you asked for. I found that tomato does have a strictly bridge...

    RT-N66 as ethernet bridge

    Thanks guys, I will take a closer look at the WDS section. Over the weekend I replaced the shabby tomato (which as wireless Ethernet bridge as a mode option) with the latest Merlin firmware (using sdk6). Again, the same options as we have discussed for "mode". Having tried the AP mode...

    RT-N66 as ethernet bridge

    Sounds like what I am looking for with mine. Yours is in the "Access Point" mode? When I chose that tick circle for mine, the description indicated that the n66 would become an access point and had to be physically cabled to the primary router while accepting wireless clients. That is not...

    RT-N66 as ethernet bridge

    I am surprised no one else has attempted to use the N66 for a bridge like I am attempting. I just want a wireless bridge minus the repeater mode but so far (other than tomato) not had much luck with Asus stock or my preferred AsusMerlin.

    RT-N66 as ethernet bridge

    Hello, I have done a search but came up empty so wanted to pose this. I have retired my N66u as primary router. Now the r7000 is there. I would like to place the N66 as an Ethernet bridge in another room for the 5ghz frequency. My issue, is that the router shows "router, repeater &...

    D-link DIR-860l or ASUS rt-n66u

    I have the RT-N66u. It is a great router all around. Put Merlins firmware on it & its got better enabled features! Unless you have AC devices now or in the next 6-12 months I suggest you don't worry about supporting it now. In that time frame I am sure at least 1 more router will come out...

    NETGEAR R7000 New Firmware 1.0.2.120_1.0.17

    Tony, Per Kong's statement, if you want to adjust the power settings for your wireless then do it from the command line. ---- When I did the tests it did work for me. But I didn't use the gui, as it is much easier to test if you do the following, connect a client via wlan use some tool like...

    R7000 Bridge Mode Issue

    I hope this can help you un-brick your new r7000. http://www.myopenrouter.com/article/52395/How-to-Debrick-or-Recover-NETGEAR-R7000-R6300v2-or-R6250-Wi-Fi-Routers/;jsessionid=473E6B5F4C9DDE648513408B0F26A4BB I believe Kong posted the link.

    Asuswrt-Merlin 3.0.0.4.374.34 is out

    "N" is not a series of speeds but rather the ability of the wireless devices to bond channels at a given speed. you can have a device connect at bn which could be 11mbps per channel but since you have bonded 2 channels it is in essence 22mbps. N supports up to 108mbps (bonded 54mbps). I...

    NETGEAR R7000 New Firmware 1.0.2.120_1.0.17

    Thiggins, I understand beamforming and if its a listed feature were supposed to have then I surely want it. If its a new feature not previously supported (in code) but added to enhance the value then I want it. I cant say if my wireless is any stronger or more stable with beamforming but see...

    What ports to forward for Synology

    yep I misstated the port for ftp but you get the point. No need forward everything if your not using it. As a best practice only expose what you need to & keep the rest secure.
