    [Release 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.3 is now available

    Merlin, I've been running your CFW since 2013 on the AC56U...my last firmware was one of the original forks, I believe the last update or so before ASUS decided to limit Tx transmission output. lately i've been having to reboot daily (it's in repeater mode). I have tried updating to this...

    Intel N 7260 to 8260, can I use existing Antennas?

    3 year old laptop has the single-band 7260 I'm looking to move an AC 8260 card into said laptop. Will the existing antennas from 7260 work with the 8260 and still achieve 5GHz N/AC speeds?

    Asustor 1 Series: Sub-$200 NAS

    ok good to know. even if the drives dont' spin down i'm constantly hearing it clicking/scratching as if it's actively reading/writing when i'm not even streaming/downloading/running tests. I look at the processes and it's just the process 'top' is active, everything else is sleeping. Any ideas...

    The experience that you speak from, is that pertaining to SMR drives or just a general statement on HDDs?

    Asustor 1 Series: Sub-$200 NAS

    yeah I have an external backup drive also 8TB it helps that each of them were only $200 locally few weeks ago ($150USD) Next question: How do I allow my drives to spin down? I already have it set to have spindown after 5min of inactivity. I set certain hours where torrents are not...

    Asustor 1 Series: Sub-$200 NAS

    Got my hands on the AS1002T budget NAS a week ago...ASUS' sub $200 offering I pretty much pulled the trigger blind. Pre-ordered it last month when it was announced with absolutely no customer reviews or reviews from the usual suspects. quick specs: Marvell ARM M7 Dual-core 1GHz 512MB DDR3 gigE...

    New Router? Add Powerline? Add Extender?

    laying wire to a detached garage is out of the question so none of the gigabit powerline adapters have dual band wireless aside from the one Tim posted? I think I will wait until they're available in Canada....$150 usd = $200 CAD is a bit more than I'm willing to pay right now

    New Router? Add Powerline? Add Extender?

    I'd like to stick with asus router due to the overwhelming community support. No point practically sidegrading to the AC68U...I only gain 3x3 radios which I doubt will make a difference. Yep the garage is powered by the same transformer. i'm confused at that BB exclusive powerline adapter. If...

    New Router? Add Powerline? Add Extender?

    Currently using AC56U, really happy with it. However the range doesn't reach the detached garage 60-80ft away. Clients used in the garage are your typical mobile devices like a iPhone 6+. We have an old DIR-655 but it can only serve as a AP not a repeater or extender. We have tried cranking the...

    How to Confirm Connection 5GHz Reception is AC or N?

    I guess some times it's easier just to try things before asking! It was really straight forward. I put my AC56U (on old Merlin fork) into repeater mode, and when selecting parent AP it would say the control channel and the type of protocol like abg, ac After setup the Linkrate is 59-117Mbps...

    How to Confirm Connection 5GHz Reception is AC or N?

    I'm on Win 8.1 Pro x64 with a Intel NIC 82579V, how do i go about checking this? using show lan drivers in command would only tell me if it's 5ghz or 2.4ghz but not whether the 5ghz is ac protocol or N?

    Best Alternative to a Dual-Bay NAS?

    it does say it can transcode H.264 (AVC), MPEG-4 Part 2, MPEG-2, VC-1 how well or at what resolution is up in the air!

    How to Confirm Connection 5GHz Reception is AC or N?

    Hi this might seem like a stupid question to many this is the first time I don't have access to the hardwired router and modem. I know the router is a AC1200 EA6350. If I have a wifi bridge/another router that also supports AC, is it automatically run on AC when connected to the 5GHz band? Is...

    Best Alternative to a Dual-Bay NAS?

    wow NCIX shipped my RAID enclosure so fast i didn't even get to cancel it. I ended up going for this...bit of the shot in the dark as it was just announced yesterday with no reviews out there...hope the measely ARM processor in this $180 NAS can transcode half decently. If only it was Broadcom...

    Best Alternative to a Dual-Bay NAS?

    True...the Synology 214+/play and the TS-251 was on the top of my list...but if I could get away with 1/4 of the budget by learning script codes then why not? I'm content with the 30MB/s read/write speed of the Asus AC routers from 2013 as I'm not in a huge rush when I transfer large files and...

    Best Alternative to a Dual-Bay NAS?

    yeah as much as I'd like to learn those scripts for backup I doubt I'll ever get around to it. Then again I'll still have to learn how to auto download torrents still. I will look for enclosures with RAID controller I guess. Yep I also have a pair of Seagate 8TBs. Are you backing it up to...

    Best Alternative to a Dual-Bay NAS?

    Hi I have some questions to a poor man's NAS on the AC56U I'm trying to find a way to automatically download torrents to a drive on the router while still being able back it up routinely. I will also throw many large GoPro videos on it from my PC. Probably easiest to just spring for a NAS but...

    Asus media Server keeps Scanning

    so rebooting didn't work what did the trick for me was removing the default media share path and uncheck photos/videos/audio, click apply. Then reselect the drive and check all these again, then apply. Media server is no longer stuck on scanning and I can see all the files again on my TV FYI if...
