    RT-N56U: Issues with FaceTime

    Thank you. However, I have never had any problems with FaceTime when the devices are behind Cisco routers or firewalls. I’ve never used Apple’s Airport routers, but I’m sure they don’t have any problems with FaceTime either. So, the problem is definitely not FaceTime but Asus. I can only imagine...

    RT-N56U: Issues with FaceTime

    I had RT-N56U working in the AP mode connected to a Cisco SOHO91 router. FaceTime was working just fine, but the overall speed was slow, and after much troubleshooting, the culprit was the Cisco SOHO91. The setup is on the other side of the world, so all the troubleshooting is over the phone...

    Thanks a lot!

    Asus RT-N66u with TomatoUSB firmware

    What are the benefits of having larger NVRAM? Is 34 KB limiting the number of features that can be packed in the firmware due to not having enough space to save all settings?

    Asus RT-N66u with TomatoUSB firmware

    So, does this mean that there’s no sense in waiting for the new ASUS stock firmware that can access 64 KB of NVRAM if one is going to run TomatoUSB on this router?

    Asus RT-N66u with TomatoUSB firmware

    So, is NVRAM a partition in the flash memory? I thought it was a dedicated chip that ASUS originally partitioned for 32 KB and now they are expanding this partition to 64 KB, so as soon as the partition is expanded to 64 KB, NVRAM stays at 64 KB. You don’t really need to have any firmware loaded...

    Asus RT-N66u with TomatoUSB firmware

    When the new stock RT-N66 firmware that increases NVRAM to 64 KB comes out later this summer, will this increase in NVRAM be permanent or will the NVRAM size go back to 32 KB when the router is flashed with earlier versions of stock firmware or flashed with a non-ASUS firmware (like Shibby’s...

    Asus RT-N66u with TomatoUSB firmware

    Would it be advisable to wait for the next Asus stock firmware release - the one that's rumored to increase NVRAM to 64 KB - before flashing with the latest shibby's release? What are the benefits of having NVRAM increased to 64 KB? Once I flash with a shibby's release, can I update to another...

    Asus RT-N66u with TomatoUSB firmware

    Is it true that the new Tomato firmwares incorporate the new Wi-Fi chip driver - the same one that is used in the stock Asus firmware? Is it shibby’s or toastman’s builds, and which releases? Is the range and the throughput on these builds comparable to the stock Asus firmware? I am using my...

    ASUS RT-N66U - my review

    Probably TCP/UDP ports is what he is talking about.

    ASUS RT-N66U - my review

    You are wrong. When you put your RT-N66U in the AP mode, it becomes a Layer 2 device. It becomes agnostic of any Layer 3 protocol, and only uses Layer 2 functionality to bridge traffic connected to its LAN interfaces, its wireless interface, and its WAN interface at Layer 2. Therefore, all your...

    ASUS RT-N66U - my review

    Here's a suggestion for the folks who had a router already before buying an RT-N66U. 1. Load the most stable (as of this writing) firmware release on your RT-N66U - firmware 3.0.0.3.90. 2. Put your RT-N66U in the Access Point mode and connect its WAN interface to your other router's LAN...

    ASUS RT-N66U - my review

    If your company has enabled NAT-T (NAT traversal) on the Cisco VPN headend (concentrator, router, or firewall), the Cisco VPN client software automatically traverses the firewall using the NAT-T feature (UDP port 4500 or sometimes TCP port 4500 depending on the headend at the company), by...

    ASUS RT-N66U - my review

    Is VLAN tagging / trunking done in GUI or is this a CLI-only configuration? LACP is really not that crucial, but VLAN tagging would allow me to plug my servers directly into the RT-N66U's Gigabit ports and thus avoid having to buy a Cisco Enterprise (or Small Business Pro) Gigabit switch for...

    ASUS RT-N66U - my review

    Thanks for this report. Could you check if this firmware has a VLAN tagging functionality (802.1Q) and / or LACP (802.3ad)? Thank you very much!

    ASUS RT-N66U - my review

    I had been using an older 802.11a/b/g Cisco 1131 access point for six years before buying the RT-N66U. So, I was never expecting to approach 100 Mbps over Wi-Fi. Now that I own RT-N66U, I'm trying to reevaluate my routing and switching equipment to see if I can boost LAN bandwidth beyond 100...

    ASUS RT-N66U - my review

    Can RT-N66U provide wireless bandwidth exceeding 100 Mbps? The advertised bandwidth of RT-N66U is 450 Mbps + 450 Mbps, but we all know it's not attainable in the real world. However, one would presume that going above 100 Mbps should be realistic. I am seeing reports here showing that the...

    Does this Tomato build have 802.3ad and 802.1Q functionality (LACP and VLAN tagging) in GUI? Thanks!

    It's true that Mac OS has origins in FreeBSD, but the kernel is different - it's a Mach kernel. Linux is actually the kernel - not the entire OS. The entire OS is actually called GNU/Linux. GNU was created as a project to re-write Unix utilities from scratch to get away from law suits that AT&T...
