    Old pc as router and more?

    I have an old pc here that and I don't know what to do with it. 4770k 16gb ram, 256gb m.2 + 1tb ssd. It is a mid tower case so I can expand storage if needed. I am thinking of maybe making my own router with it, with my own DNS Server and maybe encrypt everything on the LAN side (is it worth...

    Bandwidth limiter not working, Network Maps not showing devices

    Using 384.11_2 on AC86U. I am going crazy trying to set up Bandwidth Limiter. I add the right devices and sometimes it just doesn't work, the devices I set it for still have full access to the speed. I got to disable Bandwidth Limiter, reboot the router, enable it again... Not only that...

    USB Wireless adapter?

    Currently I have an Asus RT-AC86U. I am looking for a very very good and stable USB Wireless Adapter to move around on multiple computers. I currently have a TP Link T9E on this one and I get very good transfer speed. The link is reported to be 1300/1300 at around 5 meters away. However, I am...

    Wireless adapter - TP Link T9E or PCE-AC68

    I decided to buy an AC wireless adapter. I wonder which one is better, the T9E (60$) or PCE-AC68 (100$)? I am talking about stability, range and speed. I am currently using a RT-AC87U. Money is not a problem, but I dont want to waste it if both provide the same performance. I use Windows 10 too.

    [AC87U]Traffic analyzer page crashing webgui

    Everytime I access the Traffic Analyzer page on the RT-AC87U, I am no longer able to access the webgui unless I reboot my router. It appears to be random, because when I do a hard reset, it works afterwards until I change some settings. No idea if the problem exists on the orignal asus...

    AC87U disconnection on 2.4ghz.

    On 5ghz, but thats because I am using the latest stable firmware, RMerlin 52_2. Currently using N66U as bridge, I usually get full speed on both 2.4 and 5ghz, I am about 18 feet from the router. However, after using it for an entire day, I had 195 instead of the usualy 450. Technically, that...

    Wireless bridge or PCE-AC68?

    My wireless adapter is no longer working so I have the choice between running a wireless bridge or a PCE-AC68. All I care about are games, mostly. I dont use a lot of bandwidth, however I want the best stable possible thing out there. I have 2 choices, use my current N66u as bridge and buy a...

    n66u packet loss

    So I recently noticed packet loss on my Asus n66u. I decided to test my equipment and using winmtr for 5000 packets at 1 second internet gave me 2% packet loss on wired, 0.2% packet loss on wireless (2.4ghz, i blame the 30 APs) and 0% on 5ghz. So wired is clearly a problem. However, here is...

    802.11ac desktop adapter

    For some reasons, one of my antenna on the mPCIe combo card on the Asus Maximus VI Formula keeps breaking. I am looking for a PCI Express desktop adapter to deal with this problem. Sure, I can just buy some antennas and fix it, but I know that it will happen again. I want good antennas and...

    Antenna?

    Hi! I am wondering what would be the best omni-directional antenna for the RT-N66U. The reason I ask this is because I live in a dorm with concrete walls, so I do not get any signal in the "living room" from my room, but it is quite close though, I do get a weak signal around 3 meters away...
