    AT&T Uverse best own router setup

    I have recently got the gigapower gigabit service from AT&T. I have an Asus ac87u and I would like to get rid of the AT&T gateway. From what I have read it is impossible.

    Copying file from A-->B kills internet and network but B-->A is fine

    Some time ago I had a problem with my Windows server 2012 R2 downloads failing. My ISP of course blamed my equipment. I had an ASUS RT-AC878U. So I replaced it with an RT-AC88U. That didn't fix the issue. It turned out to be a dodgy port on my Fibre Terminating Device ("NTD"). When I purchased...

    Best option for CenturyLink Gigabit fiber

    So, I have been trying for the last couple of months to come up with an optimal solution for improving my CenturyLink Gigabit fiber. I have the CL ZyXel C1100Z. Terribly slow interface, but accelerates PPPoE well and if all I was doing was browsing the web, this might be good along with a...

    Best router for a symmetric Gigabit connection

    Hi there! I'm currently using an Asus AC68U for my symmetric gigabit connection and—whilst I'm certainly not complaining—it seems to take around 300mbps off my connection speed (both wired and AC wireless), presumably due to limitations in the CPU/RAM. Does anyone have any go-to recommendations...
