    TP-Link TL-R605 or pay up for a Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro?

    I want to put a router in front of my Asus XT8 to fix the IPv6 and DNS routing problems I’m having. I’d like to keep the cost down if possible, though I understand you get what you pay for. Still, I keep seeing reviews for the TPLink TLR605 that say it’s a Ubiquiti competitor. Could anyone with...

    Frustrated with Asus XT8 IPv6, should I just turn it off?

    I think I made a huge mistake buying the Asus XT8 kit. I got it to work with my Adguard Home DNS server by turning off DHCP and using Adguard instead. At least, until I switched on IPv6. Then, Asus’ crappy software reared it’s ugly head. It pushes itself as a DNS proxy, using WAN DNS as a backup...

    Asus XT8 IPv6 bypasses pihole

    FYI, every time I search for a solution to this, it keeps taking me to the Merlin forum (which isn't available for Asus mesh routers). I'm running on an Asus XT8, which is not supported by Merlin. Stock firmware solutions only please. If I turn off IPv6, and run DHCP on my Raspberry Pi...

    Asus Merlin alternative traffic analyzer?

    I can't find solid answers on whether or not I can trust Trend Micro's Traffic Analyzer on my RT-AC68U. I'm leaning towards not. I'm running the latest version of Merlin for my router (384.18), and was wondering if there's an alternative traffic analysis package I could use instead of the...

    Best router for wireless bridge or Powerline AV2000?

    I have never been able to run ethernet across my house due to the way it's constructed, so I'm stuck with either wireless or powerline adapters to get my network connected to where my home theater is. For a while, I used a couple of Linksys AV500 adapters and they worked "ok." Then I got a...

    A good AP to go with Asus RT-AC68U?

    My old Linksys E3000 bit the dust last week, so I used this site's router ranker and decided on the Asus RT-AC68U as a replacement (thank you SmallNetBuilder!!! You're amazing!). The Asus cost a bit more than I wanted to spend on a new router, but it sounds like it hits the sweet spot for...

    What set of wireless routers to buy?

    Reading through a bunch of the wireless router stuff has made my head dizzy. I'm ready to upgrade from my Linksys E3000, due it's total lack of 5ghz range and my desire to start moving away from the crowded 2.4ghz stuff. Plan "A" was to go "all out" and buy a Netgear R7000 and put DD-WRT on it...
