    Thoughts on the linksys ea9500 v2?

    Ah, great, thanks. I'm in the UK too, not sure why the router only gives me up to that. Can already see the difference to my Asus RTAC88U (that's gone back to Amazon) - more stable and not the dropouts I was getting, and I coudn't even transfer from my laptop directly to my NAS as it kept losing...

    Thoughts on the linksys ea9500 v2?

    Ah, thanks. I don't see to have the option for 157 on the 5ghz-2 - the highest I can choose from is 140. Is it worth me setting the 5ghz-2 to type - ac only? So only AC devices can use that? And leave 5ghz-1 mixed?

    Thoughts on the linksys ea9500 v2?

    Hi guys Just jumping in on this if you don't mind...! I've just bought an EA9500 (v2) and had seen this comment before buying in and thought I'd ask about it. Why is it best to have two seperate 5ghz connections? And how is it best to set them up? Presumably with different SSIDs and passwords...

    RT-AC88U, 4 ports not working

    I agree with the Asus support being useless. I contacted the and they just said it sounds like a bad unit and to get it replaced. I told them it is my second one, I only just got it and both have the same problem with this firmware. They said they weren't aware of anything and didn't offer any...

    RT-AC88U, 4 ports not working

    I had noticed for quite a few weeks that a couple of devices were not working at all, but I wasn't sure why. I tried different cables but that didn't help. I then (after a good few weeks of head scratching!) that some of the LAN ports may not be working, but thought that was odd as I didn't...

    RT-AC88U, 4 ports not working

    I got Amazon to replace mine. The new one already had .0.0.4.384_21045 on it and so far seems ok.

    RT-AC88U, 4 ports not working

    Glad I checked on here, I'm having the same problem - ports 5-8 dead. I am on that firmware and they're still not working (I've had problems for a couple of months but hadn't twigged what it was but now tested by moving stuff cables around and it's definately 5-8 dead. Really annoying, I'll have...

    Port forwarding issues

    Thanks, I did that and it cleared down all the custom names, but after doing that I thought I may as well just restore it. I tend to have most devices given IP addresses as well, which added to the load, so I've re-done it with only essential devices static, mobile devices, etc may as well stay...

    Port forwarding issues

    Not sure I understand.... would the easiest resolution be to do a factory reset on the router and start it again? Would that clear down all the vmram? I do need to be able to use port forwarding to get Plex working from away from home. Thanks

    Port forwarding issues

    Ah, thanks. It looks like the VPN data no longer use could free up enough, but how do I get rid of that? I can't find it in any of the settings (none of the VPN ones have anything now); http://imgur.com/a/lVyan

    Port forwarding issues

    Mine says "65548 / 65536 bytes" so looks like it's too high. How to I change that (easily!)?

    Port forwarding issues

    I'm having a similar problem with port forwarding on my RT-AC68U. Whenever I add a rule it says it's saving but when it's updated it hasn't saved it at all. I'm on 380.63_2 as well (but had the issue before I updated).

    Home network with Asus two routers plus Sonos - need advice on which channels, etc to use

    Thanks guys, that's really helpful, I'll have a read of those links L&LD and try a few tests, see how I get on. :)

    Home network with Asus two routers plus Sonos - need advice on which channels, etc to use

    Thanks, but do you mean just keep the Sonos separate to the routers? Should the two routers be on the same to work better, or should they also be separate from each other? I had an email back from Sonos support and they suggested not using channel 6 for the Sonos as well, so set the Sonos to...

    Home network with Asus two routers plus Sonos - need advice on which channels, etc to use

    Hi guys I'm having a few drop outs with my Sonos system and I'm thinking it may be to do with having two routers, one as the main router and the other in AP mode, plus Sonos speakers, which I believe using their own network to communicate, and I'm just trying to understand how . Both routers...

    Deciding Between Synology & QNAP - Take 2

    I'm looking at getting a new NAS and am torn between the QNap TS-251 and the Synology DS214Play. They're similarly priced and both two bays. The Qnap has a 2.4ghz Celeron CPU over the Synology's 1.6 Atom, so that gives the Qnap a performance advantage, and also allows for 1 VM to be used (once...

    Adding Unblock-Us DNS using DNSMasq

    Ooh! I think it's actually working. A couple of reboots of the router and my laptop and I'm getting iPlayer. Not sure how long before the local ISP block these (they've blocked all the others) but hopefully I'll get some use for a while! Cool feature, especially for most people who aren't in...

    Adding Unblock-Us DNS using DNSMasq

    Hi again Merlin Unfortunately that does not work - when I log in to Unlocator up update my IP address I get a message saying that the UAE is known for hijacking DNS and to use the advanced method. They only give instructions for adding it to DDWRT routers; I'm not sure where to start with...
