    How to troubleshoot intermittent, slow speeds over the internet?

    All this was done by plugging the server at my house directly into the AT&T fiber ONT (bypassing my router) and the backup server at my brother's house was plugged directly intro his Asus GT6 router. The main server and backup server have dual NICs so we tried both.....new cables....nothing...

    How to troubleshoot intermittent, slow speeds over the internet?

    Any iperf experts in the audience? I was using iperf and iperf3 to my backup server and here's what I was getting: (see attached file)

    How to troubleshoot intermittent, slow speeds over the internet?

    Nope, when the backup server was on my LAN, I'd max out the 1 gig switch and network cards. I'm using rsync (ssh) to back up to the remote server.

    Traceroute doesn't show anything horrible, highest hop is 30ms.

    Question about locking a port forward rule to a source IP

    I copied my keys over and followed your advice and disabled password login and changed the key to 2048 RSA. Thanks for the info!

    How to troubleshoot intermittent, slow speeds over the internet?

    Server A is Debian 12 and is located at my house directly plugged into an ASUS AX86U router. Server B is Debian 12 and is located at my brother's directly plugged into an ASUS GT6 router. I have AT&T 1 gig symmetrical and he has Comcast 1.2 down/35 up. I recently moved my backup server to my...

    Question about locking a port forward rule to a source IP

    How safe and secure is it to lock a port forward rule to a source IP? I recently moved my backup server to my brother's house and on his Asus router, I opened SSH but locked the source IP to my (static) IP address. Is this fairly safe or should I add a little more security by changing the SSH...

    router.asus.com works but not the IP

    Authentication mode for both is HTTP. When I access the 1900P, it stays on http. I get the warning about the connection not being secure but accessing it via IP is AOK. Another plot twist..... on my main PC, I only ever used Brave and Firefox to access 192.168.1.1 (whether it was my ASUS router...

    router.asus.com works but not the IP

    I have a 2nd ASUS router (1900P) that's in Access Point mode and I can use the same browser that fails when going to 192.168.1.1 to access the 1900P on 192.168.1.240 and that loads fine.

    router.asus.com works but not the IP

    All those options failed. Accessing it via http://router.asus.com/Main_Login.asp works perfectly.

    router.asus.com works but not the IP

    Yes, all my browsers are redirecting to https://192.168.1.1. Also, I just noticed something..... I spun up a Linux VM workstation image that has never accessed that URL before. Opening up http://192.168.1.1 allows me to access the ASUS GUI! Trying https://192.168.1.1 fails. This is the expected...

    router.asus.com works but not the IP

    The router was restored from a backup and it's IP is 192.168.1.1. I can ping it and ssh into it.

    router.asus.com works but not the IP

    For the past few weeks, I was testing out a couple of different firewalls (OPNsense and Untangle mainly) and had my AX86U in Access Point mode. When I was using my AX86U as the router, it was always at 192.168.1.1. When I brought my Dell server online and had OPNsense and Untangle on there, they...

    Is UPnP disabled when you put an ASUS router in Access Point mode?

    Hopefully that is true in ASUSs' case but on that Reddit post, it sounded like Netgear routers that are in AP mode might still have UPnP running?! But, I'm not using Netgear so I guess I'll proceed. Thanks for the reply!

    Is UPnP disabled when you put an ASUS router in Access Point mode?

    I'm gearing up to put my AX86U into Access Point mode and installing OPNSense on an old server to act as a firewall/router. Just trying to get ahead of any potential problems and I stumbled across this post on Reddit and that got me wondering.... is UPnP disabled when an ASUS router is switched...

    AX86U and AT&T 1 gig upload speed problem

    The days, and the actions I've taken over those days, are starting to blur together :) . But yes, I have done factory resets (with initialization) several times lately. It all comes down to that USB mode option. In 3.0 mode, 50% reduction in upload speeds. In 2.0 mode, full speed. Maybe my...

    AX86U and AT&T 1 gig upload speed problem

    I hear ya! Makes no sense at all. Once my account is approved for posting on Asus's site, I'm going to mention it over there.
