    Synology drives only (DS1522+) - OUCH!

    NAS Compares has some really great info and videos on all of these. I just sped through one today on the DS920+ vs Terramaster F4-423

    Synology drives only (DS1522+) - OUCH!

    They don't show much of a hint at catching up, either with USB3 Gen 2 or 5/10Gbe. Even their '22 stuff that is upgradeable for Ethernet is only 2.5Gbe and that with an optional extra price card. The warnings are annoying to be sure. They've died down a lot with DSM 7.1-42261 and Syno has backed...

    Synology drives only (DS1522+) - OUCH!

    In reality it's not quite like that. They will fully support the NAS, but if an issue comes down to one or more of the drives themselves, they back away. That makes sense since the drive-proper support needs to come from the drive vendor/manufacturer. You can use third-party drives and not...

    how to -Ethernet- Mac address whitelist asus built in firmware

    OK, I know this is technically OT, but…he's not going to stop competing with you. It's life. Maybe it's time to try Old School. Change the game so you either control the field, or you walk on the field side-by-side, i.e., equally inept. Take him fly fishing - no tech allowed (except in your own...

    how to -Ethernet- Mac address whitelist asus built in firmware

    You could… try using an old CPU or a good pro-sumer NAS, or an R-PI to handle both DHCP and DNS. Or just DNS. Then lock down the DNS server—hard. Mess it up and you could have another martial crisis, but get it right and you could rock his world. OTH, onboarding DNS won't kill the...

    Beta ASUS RT-AC87U Firmware 9.0.0.4.382.52503 (02-02-2021)

    Not quite sure why you'd be installing 382.52503 β when 382.52545 OEM release is (and has been for some time) available. Sky

    Synology RT6600AX

    Idk about the routers, but there NAS appliance support for me has been Top Shelf! It dropped rather a lot with the release of DSM 7 as the initial round of that upgrade unfortunately fell into COVID restrictions everywhere, so phone, online, everything just went south. Even so, compared to...

    Input Requested: Router for Surveillance

    That's a realistic probability but it's not in the cards right now. The Central Station monitoring alone knocks it out. If I can find a CS that will work directly with us, or a really cheap alarm outfit who won't up-charge the CS fees out of budget, but so far — no joy, not even close. That's a...

    Input Requested: Router for Surveillance

    Oh my! :oops: I can't believe I missed that! 2.4GHz only… obviously some of my straw has fallen out! OzarkEdge and heysounddude thank you both! You are absolutely right, wired CCTV is the best way to go, but budget vetoed it. Thankfully the needs are pretty simple: (1) watch exterior sides of...

    Router specs advice: device priority

    Been there done that with the DSL — bummer. Fwiw, this "speed chop" as I like to call it seems to happen right regularly with the QoS in Asus. Not that you're likely to check I understand, but if you should change your mind and (a) you determine you have your full 11 Mbps actually coming out of...

    Input Requested: Router for Surveillance

    Greetings everyone! I have a question I hope you can help me with. I haven't bought a new router since my ASUS 87's in 2015 so I'm more than a little rusty, ok — rusted over. I need to install some cameras to watch the outside of a small building in a shopping center so if the building gets hit...

    Network throughput dropping

    "…wire all devices that can be wired." Agreed absolutely! Lots of APs: That was not the case for our networks and their old (2015) routers. Multiple APs (beginning with only 1) were actually counter-productive for our scenario, although we did (as noted) try that path. Have you seen...

    Network throughput dropping

    My setups are probably simpler than yours. We registered increased speeds of > 200-500% and total loss of all throughput bottlenecks including throughput from devices at the very edge of our service ranges in both our two-store site with the router near-center of the bottom level at 6' above...

    Network throughput dropping

    Just a quick chime-in with this as I suffered a similar problem in the past with my sites. Are you using QoS? To check launch the Asus router interface > Adaptive QoS > [QoS] tab and check to see if it is enabled. If it is, turn it OFF. Disabling QoS has solved so many problems for so many...
