    Need wifi router recommendation (want good qos)

    Currently I have a asus rt-ac66u. The qos on it simply doesn't work for me. I have flashed tomato shibby and the qos there is better but it's not a stable enough firmware to make me happy. I just want a quality router that incorporates a solid qos system, has wireless AC and is a stable router...

    SSH, Plex, and other port forwards don't work when VPN is on

    i tried this months ago. i too had PIA for my vpn service. after scouring the internet for weeks, as well as this forum, i found no working solution. i think i recall some people using a second router as a dedicated vpn router..... don't recall the implementation though. this is the thread...

    QoS not following priorities?

    had the celeron laying around as it was my htpc before i bought a mac mini. this is the board i have http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128585 . you could probably find a used one for cheap. great board with the dual 1Gbit nics. they also have some newer embedded...

    QoS not following priorities?

    that was my findings as well. i think i remember being able to set permanent, 24/7 caps on classes, but nothing dynamic would take place like in ipfire. tomato on the other hand was great and worked beautifully.... but overall stability was an issue in my case. if you have a spare pc laying...

    QoS not following priorities?

    gotta disagree with you regarding your statement that you have to have qos provided by your isp. i run a ipfire box and have since relegated my rt-ac66 to a WAP. my ipfire box will shape traffic on both the upstream and downstream. i can have torrents, usenet, gaming, youtube, browsing, etc...

    Nat loopback and qos not working

    Ha. I don't have but 6meg to work with, wish I had 45. I just ended up tossing it in WAP mode, loading up ipfire on a little mini-itx box and turned it loose. It's working great. My line has been saturated for the past week from downloads, literally 24/7. But it has not hindered my browsing or...

    Nat loopback and qos not working

    It's a rt-ac66r. I have my priorities as you mentioned and expected the results you stated. I set usenet to lowest priority and then created a rule for web traffic with medium priority. After starting a download on usenet and maxing out the downstream, my web traffic suffered. YouTube...

    Nat loopback and qos not working

    Ok. Get this crap. You saying that nat loopback works made me wonder if qos was affecting it somehow. Turned qos off and back on and now loopback works fine for me now. Of coarse qos is still borked. One thing that seems messed up on the qos is the high/low limits. I have a 6Mb down connection...

    Nat loopback and qos not working

    Title sums it up. Unless I'm missing an enable switch, nat loopback is not working for me. Also qos does absolutely nothing. I've tried the stock firmware as well and the qos doesn't work there either. The only qos that I've had work, and work very well was tomato shibby. However, I think it was...

    openvpn seems flakey

    No trouble with the ddns that I've seen. I've actually wiped it out, reflashed but haven't yet set the vpn back up as I was just running the client software on my computers. I'll try to set it back up and see if it still behaves this way after the reflash. If so, I'll grab the logs for you...

    5mhz issues with RT-AC56U and latest macbook pro retina(late 2013)

    I have the AC66U and the new MBA. Only thing I've experienced, very rarely, is sometimes the MBA didn't refresh the wifi and I couldn't see nearby networks. But it always connects when waking up for me. I'd definitely run Merlin's software if you aren't already and see if that fixes anything. He...

    Port Forward with PIA vpn service

    where does it output what port PIA assigns to you so you know what port to use in your torrent clients? I've also, switched over to ddwrt to give it a try, but i'm assuming i could somehow utilize this script. lastly, do you have any issues with PIA disconnecting randomly but on a frequent...
