    Ideas on replacing firmware in tplink routers

    Welcome to the family, we'll make the process easy on our annoying upstairs neighbors. As long as I have access to the Strategic Maple Syrup Reserve.

    Is now the time to go to 5 Gbps or 10 Gbps home networking?

    I'm not going to have used (or new) commercial equipment in my house. Noisy, power hungry, ugly (IMO). I also learned that homebrew equipment isn't always worth the cost in time for me. I have the equipment in my signature. Runs great, no heat issues, no big power draw, wife loves the look of...

    Is now the time to go to 5 Gbps or 10 Gbps home networking?

    I have a few servers and a NAS on my LAN. When it became possible to go 2.5, I went. I'm not going to spend the cash, power, or cooling for 10 Gb internally. If I do anything video related, I find my 4 Tb SSD both cheaper and faster than any LAN I'm going to afford. The 2.5 has been great for...

    Does the Synology RT6600AX block a particular adult site?

    If you have a problem with mistyped domains or the inadvertent searches (small girls nighty, etc) then blocking is nice. If your problem is a dependent who actively seeks porn, violence, strange ideology, etc then there is nothing you're going to do about it. I like blocking to keep all the...

    News PuTTY v0.82 Released Today 2024-11-27

    A suggestion for WinSSHTerm Does many things well, and is tabbed for those of us who have a few servers or need to view a log while doing something. You can use the updated inbuilt tools (putty, pageant, etc) or if you want, use your own copies of them.

    Looking for info on Coaxial cabling.

    In my last house, there were coax and splitters everywhere. I had the cable company come out and run one run to the modem. I later added a splitter and a run to enable MoCa. Worked great afterward and for the 10 year run in the house. Point is, if you are dealing with unknowns, install fresh.

    So Long, Thanks For All The Help

    That's my thought. I had ~20 minutes of new software/firmware for the console and the APs when they first powered up. All I can report is what I have here and they are cool, quiet, and troublefree. I don't have a real complex configuration but it was extremely easy to do the things I need to...

    So Long, Thanks For All The Help

    Surprisingly, I have had zero (!) problems with my motley mix of plugs, switches, doorbells, streaming devices, leak detectors, thermostats, TVs, weather station loggers. I don't run any cameras except doorbells.

    Hmmm, we have different opinions of "Works a treat"

    It's why I went with the U7s instead. Working a treat for me by the way.

    Everyone has their opinion. For me, I have a number of cheap IoT devices. All came up and have stayed up with zero changes to the default WiFi settings. My phones roam quickly and properly. I have no idea what the commenters are on about as I don't base purchases on other's 'informed' opinions...

    On my U7 Wall APs, there is no fan nor fan control.

    So Long, Thanks For All The Help

    And darn well worth it. Latency is non-existent for all intents and purposes. Device do in fact roam from AP to AP in a timely manner. I'll repeat, ALL my IoT devices connected with zero issues. Ubiquiti was not good for my needs until this equipment was released. If you've discounted them in...

    I received a new networking setup today. Ubiquiti Cloud Gateway Max and 2 U7 Pro Wall APs. I also got table stands for the APs so they can be placed where I want them. First, the packaging was Apple-like. Off to a good start. Build quality and the finish was equally great. Why, they even have a...

    RT-BE86U details from ASUS rep at Computex Taipei (POSSIBLE NEWS SCOOP)

    I'm wanting a RT-BE92U. That seems like the AX86U replacement to me. I see nothing in the US ASUS site about it though.

    AX86U Pro router and non-Pro AP

    For me, I've tried it both ways and decided I like the AIMesh node best. I'm hardwired though. I don't know if you can set a static IP for the node, I just assigned a static from the router to the node's MAC. I just did a hard reset and set it up as a AIMesh node. Been working fine, devices...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.8_2 is now available

    Working well on my router and node. Nothing special about the configuration. Port forwards for a couple of servers, IPv6 firewall entries for the same servers, dnsmasq.conf.add to help the piholes. I still see that changing a device name in the network map client list does not change it in the...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.8_2 is now available

    When I had such 'helpful' driver partitions, I deleted he partition using GParted. Don't dink with anything else. YMMV
