    RT-AX56U V6 PLUS(Japan) map-e port mismatch problem?

    Some ISPs in Japan use a convoluted solution to deliver IPv4 over IPv6 called V6Plus. I have the RT-AX56U which has an option for V6 but when this is selected you get a MAP-E port mismatch error or a Map server did not reply response. So I'm stuck on the much slower PPPoE connection. Is there...

    How long will 802.11n be supported by router makers?

    So to my joy Apple re-introduced the big HomePod yesterday. To my despair it now has 802.11n wireless instead of 802.11ac which the previous one had. I expected it to be 802.11ax, so I'm just baffled here. Wifi4 in a brand new product in 2023? What will this have to say for the future of this...

    Could somebody explain which of these three ASUS routers is "better", please?

    I am dipping my toe into home networking and wish to upgrade the router my ISP gave me.

    Best VPN service provider for use as Router-based Wireguard client

    My router (RT-AC86U) runs asuswrt-Merlin, if that matters to anyone… been a PIA person forever, but they don’t support router-based configurations for Wireguard, and the workarounds that I know of aren’t that enticing (requiring constant tweaks, etc., just to under-deliver) it’s that time of...
