    Hotel Internet slow, very slow

    The GL-Inet travel routers use the hotel's wiFi signal as its WAN's source for Internet. It then broadcasts the connection using your own WiFi SSIDs. You can also connect to the GL-Inet using an Ethernet cable. Depending on the room's configuration you can put the GL-INET near the doorway...

    Added an AP, now entire network speed is very slow

    The OP is having issues so I'm recommending fixes since AP mode isn't working. Leave the router in router mode and turn off DHCP server and radios to trouble shoot. Turning off DHCP is a method to make a router function as an AP. ASUS has added confusion to the process by mingling mesh and...

    Added an AP, now entire network speed is very slow

    Try disabling DHCP on the AP, then turn the radios off, then plug the cable from the main router into a LAN port on your AP, power cycle the AP and it should now be working as a switch. Check your speed and see what happens. This is the old fashioned way to convert a router into either an AP...

    Hotel Internet slow, very slow

    Your chart is showing 2,4 Ghz channels. You might want to consider using a 2.4 channel but they aren't great. If this is the best you are getting for 2.4 Ghz likely the 5 Ghz is even worse. Using a travel router sometimes can help. You can set it in a location where the best signal from...

    Added an AP, now entire network speed is very slow

    As part of your diagnostic procedure. Temporarily disable the radios on your AP and then using a device connected to a LAN port on the AP test your speed just to be sure than the AP isn't using WiFi for its backhaul. Also if you have the cable from the router running from a LAN port to the...

    Can this desired Network configuration be achieved?

    Thanks. Useful information if I ever need it for a future setup.

    Can this desired Network configuration be achieved?

    Will this work or will the OP need a pair of managed switches, one at each end of the cable, so they can run a 802.1Q VLAN(s) since he wants to use a single cable run for both the WAN and LAN? I have never tried to run both a WAN and LAN over the same cable using a 802.1Q VLAN. My setup uses...

    OpenVPN keeps on turning itself off

    Thanks! That worked however starting or stopping using the router's GUI to start and stop or using scMerlin didn't accomplish it the stop and restart had to be done in VPNMON and then have reenable monitoring the clients without timers.

    OpenVPN keeps on turning itself off

    Have a small issue. Had problems with my VPN clients and in order to repair I removed VPNMON. Got my three clients working again and then reinstalled VPNMON-R3 including the options that I had before. The issue I would like to fix is to show the time each tunnel has been up. Currently it is...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.7 is now available

    Dirty update to 388.7 on AX86S running smoothly. Took two attempts as unmounting USB drives wasn't successful on first attempt and update failed. Unmounting drives again successfully and then upgrading worked. Everything now is fine. Thank you.

    Buy a cable tester such as the one shown below and then with a partner at the far end you can quickly trace all the coaxial cables...

    Solved router connected to ISP router

    The most common case where a double NAT will cause you difficulties is if you want to run some type of server on the network connecting to your second router. The other issue is when you contact support for a network issue they may try and blame all the problems on the double NAT.

    WAN Aggregation Question

    I think what the OP wanted is to have additional bandwidth to be shared between all users since 500 Mbps wasn't sufficient and he upgraded to 1.5 Gbps and with his current router not having a 2.5 Gbps WAN port all they would get is 1 Gbps however if port bonding is a possibility with current...

    WAN Aggregation Question

    You need to see if your modem and your router support link aggregation group or port bonding. In the case of my MB8600 modem I run two Ethernet cables from the modem. One to the WAN port on my AX86S and another to LAN port 4 giving my what the router what it then considers a 2 Gbps...

    OpenVPN keeps on turning itself off

    I use StrongVPN. The client that requires the most frequent restart is in Stockholm which is 4000+ miles distant with a typical 140 ms ping time. The Stockholm client requires a restart every 2-3 days. The domestic servers I connect to are normally good for 3-6 days. Again, VPMON is an...
