    [ 388.2 alpha Build(s) ] Testing available build(s)

    Installed 388.2 Alpha 2 on my GT-AX6000, up from Merlin 388.1. It never ceases to amaze me how one man's Alpha 2 build is better than most corporate firmware's final release firmware. <rant> In the real world, I work with controllers that use embedded Linux. These controllers (which have been...

    Wait For Asus 6E Router?

    Never heard of B&H, and Newegg is sold out of the RT-AX88u and GT-AX6000, both. That said, B&H is selling that GT-AX6000 for almost $100 less than Amazon right now. I'll take it! Thanks for the head's up!

    Results/Comments: Successfully replaced Google Fiber Box with RT-AC87U

    Yes, tagging p-bits is all that needs to be done for Google Fiber to bypass their box. That said, I'm not familiar with DD-WRT, so I don't know where those settings are buried.

    Asus R3200, or should one wait for R5300 (and if so, why?)

    Well I have egg on my face. So, yes, looking this up they have the same processor. I incorrectly recollected that the AC87U has a faster 5GHz capability than the 3200, just that the 3200 has two 5GHz radios for lots of devices. Oh well. Didn't need two 5GHz radios anyways.

    Asus RT-AC87 with 378.55_0 vs. Asus RT-AC66 with Fork 374.43_2-13E1j9527

    My AC87U seems to be working fine. I've not had any freezes. The 5 GHz radio does seem to drop, but it's hard to tell what is most at fault. I only have two 5 GHz devices in my home. One is my iPad 3 and the other is my Samsung Galaxy S6. While I've caught my Samsung dropping off of 5 GHz many...

    Asus R3200, or should one wait for R5300 (and if so, why?)

    I have to say I disagree. As a AC87U owner, I can tell you that my primary concern was overall network performance, not focusing strictly on the wireless. If I am in need of performance and speed, I'm running Ethernet cables to devices, not relying upon wireless communications which seem to...

    Enabling Hardware Flow Acceleration (Level 2) in AC87U

    Done and router rebooted. CTF is still showing up as the only form of HW Acceleration.

    Enabling Hardware Flow Acceleration (Level 2) in AC87U

    Howdy, After several configuration attempts, I have determined that using my ASUS AC87U downstream of my Google Fiber Box is the best configuration option I have. Google Fiber users can read this thread here for how I configured my router for a "Fiber-Box Free" configuration and why I chose to...

    Results/Comments: Successfully replaced Google Fiber Box with RT-AC87U

    After trying it for about a month, I've decided to revert back to the double-NAT configuration I originally had with the Fiber Box. Simply put, the AC87U's hardware acceleration provides a noticeable boost in performance (about 33%) and stabilizes my WiFi connections. I can't provide any logical...

    I've successfully, stably overclocked to 1400 Mhz on the AC87U without any issues. My processor is running at 72°C with the cooling fan I put on the router. It would seem I could bump it up a little more, but I'm not sure I want to risk it at this point. Really, the only thing I've noticed...

    Results/Comments: Successfully replaced Google Fiber Box with RT-AC87U

    Google Fiber doesn't throttle me; Google Drive does. I'm able to easily break the 200 Mbps mark, but can't do it on most servers. I presume my "pipe" is just bigger than theirs. Which laptop cooler are you using? I'm open to suggestions. I've successfully overclocked to 1200 Mhz and am...

    Results/Comments: Successfully replaced Google Fiber Box with RT-AC87U

    Sort of. The WiFi barely works on the Network Box. Using it is not an option. Using the Network Box as a wired router/switch works fine, but I've noticed that my router actually does better when it comes to wired traffic, at least when I have hardware mode enabled and I'm wired in a double-NAT...

    I'm not hosting anything on my network today. That said, there may be a time when AiCloud would come in handy and/or I want to use my own cloud as opposed to Dropbox to avoid space limits, extra privacy, etc. Because I would have the Fiber Box set to DMZ if I put my router back in to a...

    Thank you for your prompt reply. I can answer that question directly: I don't want to build the watch, I just want to know what time it is. Allow me to offer more background. Why did I want a router beyond the Fiber Box in the first place? 1. To block porn, ad-ware, mal-ware, spy-ware, phishing...

    Hello, all, Articles across the internet abound, some of which have broken links, some of which are specific to hardware and some of which aren't quite clear, I finally figured out how to remove my Google Fiber Network box and plug straight in to my Google Fiber Network jack... and get it to...
