    Suggestion: Load Balance for AP Mode

    Indeed, I am aware of the OSI model but I have seen Load Balancing being done on Layer 2 although understandably they were enterprise switches (and thus may be an non-reasonable request for a consume device) balancing two 10GbE links in. However, yes, in a way you could say I had "2 internet...

    Suggestion: Load Balance for AP Mode

    One of the things I learned from my most recent experience with "Router Mode" on an RT87R is that "Load Balance" for WAN improved performance quite a bit. Currently, it's only available in "Router Mode." My suggestion is simple: "Load Balance" for "AP Mode." Since AP Mode already uses the WAN...

    Feature Request:GUI for lets encrypt cert requests and renewal.

    I have a feeling this will take some time to trickle down to the consumer level. We're starting to see it being supported on Enterprise appliances slowly and even Enterprise servers. Let's Encrypt is still fairly young so while I'm sure this will be standard in the future for DV Certs to be...

    Unreplied DNS - Constant Disconnects to Internet

    This actually came up when I was facing an issue (http://www.snbforums.com/threads/issues-with-dchp-server-on-ac87u.31258/) about problems with DHCP Server but I didn't mention them. I ironically found the issue to be related to DNSMasq as once I disabled a few things via shell there were no...

    Issues with DCHP Server on AC87U

    Final Update: I have reverted the ASUS RT87U back to "AP Mode" and put a Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter Edition as in the DHCP/DNS Server Role(s). From there it was pretty easy to determine that the Windows Networking Stack needed to be reset and after doing so Windows was able to acquire the...

    Issues with DCHP Server on AC87U

    Normal fiber optic wired homes (such as Verizon FiOS in the United States) normally have VLANs. You shouldn't even be concerning yourself with the rest of the network and I wasn't even going to put it there because that's all working fine. The Quantum Gateway (G1100) acts as a glorified modem...

    Issues with DCHP Server on AC87U

    Well, perhaps you can help with a little bit of a better explanation of my new current setup: Now the entire left side is functioning fine under the new setup (and before you ask, yes, I disconnected the left side just to see). The right side on the other hand, isn't functioning anywhere...

    Issues with DCHP Server on AC87U

    Update - I have narrowed down the offending settings via the router's limited she. Via shell I ran: dnsmask -2 On every LAN interface the router had including br0 and lo. It claims to turn off dnsmasq for DHCP but it didn't work. So after reading the errors causing DCHPDECLINED and saw that it...

    Issues with DCHP Server on AC87U

    Hey everyone, it's been awhile. So I have been using ASUSWRT Merlin for a very long time now and recently I had switched the access points from AP Mode to Router Mode to take over the task of issuing DHCP on a different VLAN due to inadequacies in newly installed equipment. However, I think I...

    AC Band With 80MHz Width Has Never Worked (RT-87U/Nighthawk R7000 & ASUS PCE-AC66/PCE-AC68)

    Of course they are... the R7000s burn out and don't even last more than a year (plus all their WiFi and LAN dropout issues during the early days) and their replacements have known 5GHz issues. How I long for the days of WRT54G and the WNDR4500 - those were good, reliable routers. Router quality...

    AC Band With 80MHz Width Has Never Worked (RT-87U/Nighthawk R7000 & ASUS PCE-AC66/PCE-AC68)

    I did actually run into another problem which hasn't occurred since yesterday: the 5GHz band completely crashed for all clients for several minutes. The only thing reported in the logs was: Sep 8 14:09:31 kernel: net_ratelimit: 20 callbacks suppressed Sep 8 14:09:31 kernel: TCP: time wait...

    AC Band With 80MHz Width Has Never Worked (RT-87U/Nighthawk R7000 & ASUS PCE-AC66/PCE-AC68)

    sfx2000: I took your advice and just downloaded the free version as I really didn't need any of the other functions unless the advice I was given didn't work. sfx2000 and psychopomp: I honestly can't believe it but I hooked up the antenna base and moved it as far away from the computer as I...

    AC Band With 80MHz Width Has Never Worked (RT-87U/Nighthawk R7000 & ASUS PCE-AC66/PCE-AC68)

    Hello everybody! Sorry for the delay but with the holidays it can't be helped. I'll address each one of you individually. snakebit3: They were actually initially disabled when I installed the cards and even than the cards would not take an AC 80MHz band. That's how I was able to rule those...

    AC Band With 80MHz Width Has Never Worked (RT-87U/Nighthawk R7000 & ASUS PCE-AC66/PCE-AC68)

    Yes, their advice was pretty standard but than this is a strange situation. Even at 3-10 feet an 80MHz connection can't be established with two relatively powerful wireless transceivers. At that close of a range I would assume that whatever interference is occurring in the 5GHz band would be...

    AC Band With 80MHz Width Has Never Worked (RT-87U/Nighthawk R7000 & ASUS PCE-AC66/PCE-AC68)

    I forgot to mention that I have tried other adapters as well including USB. In fact, the worst experience is with USB adapters as they can never get a signal or there signal is extremely week or they can't keep up with a FiOS connection. It's one of the reasons I went running back to PCI-E...

    AC Band With 80MHz Width Has Never Worked (RT-87U/Nighthawk R7000 & ASUS PCE-AC66/PCE-AC68)

    Hello everyone! First post but I am seeking some help with my home networking. I have a rather large home so I am going to oversimplify the setup for the purpose of helping to determine WiFi issues: I now use the ASUS RT-87U as a "backbone" WiFi - in Access Point mode as there are a plethora of...
