    have Intel 9560 card w/ true 160MHz; am in very congested environment--don't need speed, just a clear channel. Router that can do this? Sorry, NOOB

    I have a Dell Vostro with an Intel 9560 160 MHz card. I'm trying to understand what it is capable of and what it is not. My understanding is that the one advantage that it might have is that it could utilize a true 160MHz channel if a router supported it (and there's only three that do...

    best firmware for fine tuning access control? have ASUS ac56u and using Asus Merlin, but no linux...

    I need access controls for myself. Yes, kind of pathetic, but I'm quite the internet junkie and need to find tune access (more time-based for specific clients than blocking specific urls or classes of pages). I am using Asus Merlin and am generally very happy with it, but a lot of its use for...

    dual format 1TB usb drive for Windows backups AND Transmission? (RTAC56)

    I have a 1TB external drive that I'd like to use (temporarily, at least) for both saving my backups and using Transmission. I am running the latest version of ASUS Merlin on an RT-AC56U. The backups partition should be formatted as NTFS, to the best of my understanding (running Windows 10 x64)...

    Network Services Filter: how can I block internet access only at specific times?

    Forgive me if this has been addressed elsewhere, but I've searched everywhere in this subforum and found nothing (current, at least) that has helped me fix this. My goal is to block only internet on one device from TIME 1 to TIME 2 (ideally, 10p to 6p, but I'm not sure if that's possible given...

    2.4Ghz wireless mode "auto": defaulting to Ch. 14; can I disable 12-14?

    I am using HGG's 380.59.1 fork on my RT-ACU. We are getting a range extender, but for the time being, have a very weak signal downstairs. Trying to optimize it but still get all of my devices to connect. The problem device is my Brother HL-L2380DW, which runs on the N standard, but it only runs...

    best place to buy refurbished/used routers on the cheap?

    I'm looking to expand my network by bridging, and am specifically looking for two ASUS RT-AC models (other than the 1200). I know there is a classifieds thread, but are there other sites that do, either specific to networking or tech in general, with a high volume and reliable sellers? Or...

    After a lot of research here and other spots, I bought a Nanostation Loco m5 to extend the range of the wireless signal my best friend who lives in the apartment above me to my apartment, one floor down and just to the west (I am on a fixed income and he's generously agreed to share his...

    Does router TX power affect Nanostation compatibility and how does it impact range?

    I am pretty new to all of this, but have done a lot of research and cannot find an answer to my question. Hoping someone can help. I have an ASUS RT-56U (2x2 MIMO, ac-1200 (?)), running on ASUS-Merlin. Sharing bandwidth with my best friend upstairs because I'm on a fixed income and he's happy...

    Ubiquiti Nanostation to create hotspot in congested neighborhood: 2.4 or 5ghz?

    Hope I'm posting this in the right spot. Apologies if I haven't (and please feel free to move to right spot if not). I've cut the cord, and my friend is generously allowing me to share his bandwidth (I'm on a fixed income). He lives upstairs and to the east of me in a old house converted to an...

    What is the difference between the Archer C5 and C50? And v1 vs v2...

    I've been shopping around for a router, and it looks like the Archer C5 will meet my fairly minimal needs (in terms of speed, at least) very well. But I'm confused about a few things: Amazon is currently selling this "C50" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0168G0KZY/?tag=snbforums-20 for just under...

    o2-AirAC from RadioLabs? Can find absolutely no reviews

    I'm looking for the longest range possible router, and this seems too good to be true, but I have yet to find anything anywhere independently benchmarking or otherwise reviewing it. http://www.radiolabs.com/products/wireless/networking/802.11AC-Router-High-Power.php Does anyone know anything...

    best firmware for long range transmission?

    I have an RT-AC56U on AsusMerlin v. 380.61.0 (I believe that's the newest build). My best friend, who lives in the apartment above and across from me in our old house, has generously agreed to share his bandwidth with me--I am on a fixed income. I'm going to give him my newer modem and the...

    setting up moca connections between two apartments... many questions!

    I've read quite a bit but really don't understand some things. Please forgive my ignorance here, and bear with me: really need help! I've decided to cut the cord because I'm on a fixed income, and my best friend, who lives in the apartment above and on the other side of the eight-unit...
