    Guide for QoS?

    I come back to this forum for the first time in a year or two and it's funny to see my post from 2 years back bumped up haha. I still have the RT-N66U, but I've moved on from the stock firmware and have Tomato Shibby installed. QoS has worked flawlessly for the past year.

    How To Make A Windows Time Machine Server

    I would just like to thank the author of this guide, it has helped me a **** TON! :eek: Before, I was using sudo tmutil setdestination /Volumes/{mounted-disk-image} with a sparsebundle in a Samba share on my server to run backups, but it would get corrupt easily. I then realized that if my...

    Heat problem?

    Really? That's awesome news ! Looks like my router's actually been hovering around 60 degrees then. :) Thanks a lot !

    Heat problem?

    I'm running Tomato, but I don't think that would cause it to run so hot? CPU usage on the front page says CPU Load (1 / 5 / 15 mins) 0.15 / 0.00 / 0.00 To check the temperatures, inside the UI, I used the script : wl -i eth1 phy_tempsense wl -i eth2 phy_tempsense I only have QoS...

    Heat problem?

    Not a short term spike since I checked it again and it's hovering in the high 70's. Turned off the router for an hour and checked again. Started at 50's and now it's around high 60's low 70's. When I tested an hour ago, I only streamed media from my server to main computer and had...

    Heat problem?

    Well that's not really helpful. I'm asking if 80 degrees are safe operating temperatures or should I return this one and hope that it was just a bad heatsink mount?

    Heat problem?

    Hello, I noticed that my Rtn66u was very hot the other day, burning to the touch on the top plastic. I checked the temperature readouts and it said it was 77/80 degrees! I haven't had any slowdowns or problems so far, but are these safe operating temperatures? I have a switch connected...

    Guide for QoS?

    The upload limit is already set to half of my connection speed. I've also tried setting a limit on the download speeds and it doesn't make a difference. Web browsing still feels sluggish. The only way to make the browsing feel quick and snappy again is to stop all the torrents running. I...

    Guide for QoS?

    I've already gone through it. So far I've done this : For the 'User defined Priorities' section I've so far left uploads the same, but put a rule for low priority ports to have 80% download. In the 'User defined QoS Rules' I so far have put Ports 80,443,8080 TCP (I don't need UDP for web...

    Guide for QoS?

    Hello, I'm starting to configure my RT-N66U for QoS and it's quite confusing... Is there a guide of some sort for this specific router? I tried searching and I get guides for other firmwares... I'm trying to create a rule for uTorrent, but everytime I try it just limits the download speed to...

    Network Seems Slow.

    I'm looking into buying an Intel NIC right now. :D One thing about the switch... I'm using my Router (RT-N66U) so I don't believe I'll need a switch correct? Or would a switch improve performances?

    Network Seems Slow.

    Hello, I have a Windows XP box that I just made that houses a bunch of harddrives used for a media/file server. I'm not sure of the write speeds before, but it seems really slow now... The motherboard (Asus P5K) has a Gigabit network card inside so I expected to be around 70-80MB/s at the...
