    RT-AC66U+QOS=limited to 106mb/sec wan->lan

    It might be because using QoS disables hardware acceleration, and the CPU alone cannot handle speeds in excess of your 106Mb/s limit.

    OpenVPN IP range trouble

    If I try to put an IP range that isn't on the main subnet (e.g. if router is using 192.168.2.x, and try to use 192.168.5.x for VPN) it says it is an invalid IP range. I am trying to set up VPN using bridged TAP instead of TUN device so that is probably why.

    OpenVPN IP range trouble

    Hi. I am trying to get OpenVPN up and running on my AC56U with Merlin 378.52_2. However, when in the advanced configuration area, there is the option to assign IPs from the router's own DHCP address pool or not. However, when I try to assign from a pool of my own range, when I hit the "Apply"...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.52 is available

    Not sure if this has been brought up previously, and it is a minor detail: Under the "Online" tab in "Client status" box under list of Clients, static IP clients show up as "DHCP" rather than "Static". DHCP IPs manually assigned under LAN correctly show up as "Manual".

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.52 is available

    Is it possible to disable the web traffic history/tracker? I still would like to use QoS and traffic analyzer/data usage, but I don't want to invade the privacy of my users and be able to see what websites they are viewing....

    Peculiar network problems (possible switching loop?)

    Well here's another probably unhelpfiul kicker: disabling the E2200 NIC device from the motherboard's BIOS configuration definitely hides the device from OS, but is still powered up and causes same problem if plugged in. Kinda interesting. I guess at this point it seems to be a hardware issue...

    Peculiar network problems (possible switching loop?)

    Some new information: Ok so the problem is actually INDEPENDENT of the Intel NIC as well as the switch. I was able to reproduce the problem by booting into the BIOS configuration of the PC with only the Atheros NIC plugged in, and cause the entire network interruption. I then tried connecting...

    Peculiar network problems (possible switching loop?)

    Thank you all for the replies. Primary (host) OS is linux, without any teaming or bridging between the interfaces. The motherboard documentation also states something like hardware teaming is not an option between these two devices, and there are no related configurations between the two in...

    Peculiar network problems (possible switching loop?)

    First of all, the specific problem I am having is that plugging a particular device into the network brings down the entire wired network. Some specific details around the problem are as follows: The overall network topology looks something like: where the main router connected between my ISP...
