    Does anyone know of an 802.11ac notebook card WITHOUT Bluetooth?

    I'd be interested in finding a notebook 802.11AC wireless card - that does *not* have built-in Bluetooth. My issue is that I have a ThinkPad T420. Currently, I have a 3x3 Intel Ultimate-N 6300 card in it. The issue is, if you ordered the premium 3-stream card, Lenovo did Bluetooth on the...

    Product Review: NETGEAR FVS336G-300 ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall

    Thanks for the review, Doug. I have to say, I think it's time Netgear revamps the UI on their firewalls. For a GUI, I find it clunky. It's not the worst I've ever seen, it could just be so much better. UI responsiveness on a lot of Netgear equipment (switches and Prosafe firewalls) has been...

    "Inexpensive" AC access points

    Well, in the past year, I became certified on Watchguard firewalls. And that certification results in being able to purchase a small-business class firewall for an inexpensive price. On top of that, our amazing rep got my team additional three-year subscriptions to all of the features, even...

    RT-AC87 - Can connect to VPN server but not devices inside LAN

    Okay, so I have my RT-AC87R. I have OpenVPN server set up using Dynamic DNS for the WAN (I have a DynDNS pro subscription), and I exported an ovpn file. I've tested, and I can connect to the VPN server from the outside. My problem is when I try to use Remote Desktop to connect to systems on...

    Ruckus Announces Affordable AP Product Line

    http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-news/32543-ruckus-announces-affordable-ap-product-line These look really interesting. Ruckus is known for having some of the best resistance to interference and beamforming setups out there. One thing I didn't notice in Ruckus' own sheets...

    RT-AC87 WAP-mode, SSID, and VLAN questions

    Hey everyone, RMerlin, you may be the best equipped technically to answer this question, but for anyone who is doing advanced networking and using the RT-AC87 U or R, I have some questions. Because I'm Watchguard certified, I recently took an offer to get a very discounted Watchguard firewall...

    RT-AC87 in AP mode questions

    Just curious about the RT-AC87 in access point mode. I am looking at a firewall and managed switch to replace my AC87 at the head end of my network (already have the equipment). Does the 87 still function as a basic switch in AP mode? Where I have it located I still would like to use it as...

    Cisco SG300-10 switch line - P vs MP?

    I've been looking into a managed gigabit switch for home, and the Cisco SG300-10 line looks like a great deal, especially used. Layer 3, PoE (if you buy the correct model), good for playing around on even if not a true iOS switch (so Cisco doesn't ask for a maintenance contract to get the...

    SOHOpelessly Broken contest finds vulnerabilities in ASUS RT-AC66U

    RT-AC87 - Has anyone gotten OpenVPN running?

    I'm trying to set up OpenVPN on my RT-AC87. Currently, I'm using ASUS firmware 2044. I've used my provider's .ovpn file, as well as a custom one, along with my username and password. I've imported their provided ca.crt file, but also copied and pasted manually. In both cases, I can't...

    Question regarding OpenVPN client performance on ASUS AC routers

    Hi all, I've been playing around connecting to my VPN service with OpenVPN. Doing it with a Windows client on my server has excellent speeds. Doing it on my ASUS RT-AC66R brings speeds to a crawl. I don't have that many clients, and the CPU usage on the router doesn't break 66%. I...

    Possible to use OpenVPN client for some of the network, not all? (RT-AC66U)

    Hi everyone, I have a dilemma. I have a VPN service which I have tested successfully in the OpenVPN client section of my ASUS RT-AC66U using the latest Merlin firmware (374.43). The problem (not unexpected) is that I cannot use my laptop to IPSec VPN into my firewalls at work when OpenVPN is...

    Intel 3945ABG stomps 2.4GHz connection to RT-AC66 - ideas?

    Side hobby: I repair broken laptops and upgrade them sometimes as well for fun. I have one with a pretty normal Intel 3945ABG wifi card in it at the moment. In the house, I have the RT-AC66R, and I have a Buffalo WLI-TX4-AG300N wireless bridge for the SO's desktop and our color laser. I have...

    Only one DNS server in DHCP?

    Minor annoyance, but definitely there...I noticed it, but haven't commented until now. Is there any reason the RT-AC66 (and I'm guessing the N66) only have an option for one DNS server in DNS? Almost every router I know of has a fallback DNS address. This is kind of a big deal for me, since...

    ASUS RT-AC66 does not prompt for credentials when managing

    I'm having an oddity with my ASUS RT-AC66R. When I first configured it, it did not want to save the admin password properly, and told me I had the wrong password several times until I finally confirmed it correct. Now, I'm having an issue where going to the IP of the router for management...

    RT-AC66U - port forwarding and DynDNS issues

    Hi all, I just got an RT-AC66R to replace my aging Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH. I've got most of my configuration set, but I'm experiencing two issues. First off, I have a domain set up through DynDNS, which worked perfectly fine on the Buffalo router. When I have it set up on the ASUS...

    Want a reliable mid-upper end wireless router

    I'm currently using a venerable but decent Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH in my home, which has served me well both in range and wireless throughput. I'm also using a Buffalo WLI-TX4-AG300N 802.11n dual-band wireless bridge; it has four 10/100 ports built in and makes it easy to plug in my SO's...
