    Remotely configuring an EA2750 router

    I'm in a special situation and any idea might help me a lot. I have an EA2750 router (I don't remember the exact firmware version, but it's one of the latest) that, due to a power outage lost its settings. The router is far away from me, in a location that is rarely visited. Only my mother goes...

    Ars: Linksys Routers Leak MAC Addresses Of Anything Ever Connected

    The funny thing is that, at least in the case of the EA2750, the router's admin web page says there's no update and the latest firmware version on its support page is listed as problematic. So the router will not update itself and even if the user insists the result is not that useful...

    DS119j: Synology’s $99.99 Home NAS

    Man, that NAS is made as cheap as possible. A sort of best bang for the buck (at least from the sales department's point of view). Just imagine that if you'd buy an SBC (like a RaspberryPi), add a case and a power brick and you'd probably not be anywhere near the performance of this NAS. Not...

    [Q]Full port forwarding on a DSL router?

    I'm sorry for the bad choice of words. Thank you for getting the idea right! I never explored the concept of DMZ. Honestly I never gave it enough attention. Thank you for suggesting it!

    NAS buying advice!

    Giving that there are tens of 2 bay NAS'es that can do that, with prices from 100€ to over 500€ (without HDD's) , maybe price should matter at least a little. Also, how big is your torrents pool? A few, several tens, hundreds of torrents? Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

    Help me choose a wireless extender/repeater for vacation

    Thanks for your answer @thiggins! I know how a repeater works and that I'll be squeezing all the traffic through a thin tunnel. But that is the plan: to put the repeater in the best spot so that I don't have to be glued there while using the phone. For example, once I stayed in an apartment...

    Help me choose a wireless extender/repeater for vacation

    Hello there! I've found myself many times in vacation apartments where the offered wireless network has its AP positioned in such a way (in the neighbouring apartment, on a different floor, or maybe even 2 houses away) that the signal level is rather low or fluctuates. So I thought that a...

    QNAP TS-231P vs QNAP TS-231P2

    Hello there, I've kind of set my mind on this model (QNAP TS-231P) mostly because of the good performance and features for the given price (currently around 145€ in Germany). But I've also noticed that there is an updated version of this NAS in the form of the QNAP TS-231P2. I know it wasn't...

    So, anybody else? Is there no such client in this world? Have I got so unique needs?

    Web interface or GUI for LFTP (entware)

    I didn't know about Aria2, that's why I didn't use it! :-P I cannot seem to find this information and since my FTP server is currently down (for another week) I cannot test it, does Aria2 support FTPS too (explicit)? Thanks!

    Web interface or GUI for LFTP (entware)

    Hello there! I am trying to use my trusty Asus RT-AC68U as a FTP downloader (it runs 24/7 anyway). So I've picked and installed LFTP since it seems to be very praised and it works really good. My only problem is that I would prefer some sort of graphical interface to it, to make things a little...

    Prosumer router recommendation

    Don't worry, the old router is still used. I had some Cat5e wiring from one room to the other (I live in a 2 room rented appartment) and I've configured the old WRT54GL as an AP in the other room, so I have a little bit more coverage. It seems to be stable if it's not crushed by a lot of work.

    Prosumer router recommendation

    In the end I got a Linksys EA2700. Yes, I know that it's not prosumer at all but, giving the prices (anything else than Mikrotik is well above 150 euros) and the fact that Mikrotik doesn't have 5GHz WiFi... I've looked at Linksys EA6300 and Asus N66U but the prices are a little bit too high...

    Prosumer router recommendation

    stevech, which Cradlepoint router are you talking about? From what I found on their site only MBR95 and MBR1200B would suit my needs. But MBR1200B is a little bit over my price range, even if I'd go a little bit over 100 euros. I've also looked around Cisco wrvs4400n, but even if it's SOHO...

    Router upgrade - evaluating options?

    dlambert, I see that you didn't get any answers although it passed some time. I'm guessing that you didn't wait that much and you went into buying and setting up. I'm in a similar situation and I am curious what sollution did you choose. Thank you!

    Prosumer router recommendation

    So? Any more recommmendations? To Mikrotik or not to Mikrotik, that is the question! Thanks! PS: I tried yesterday to give the WRT54GL another chance. Restored the settings, copied everything, restored factory defaults and reconfigured from scratch. The surprise was that at the and, after I...

    Prosumer router recommendation

    I get 16-18Mb/s over 802.11g in the same room with a few clients attached, copying from a Vostro 3555 laptop (wireless) to the media center (10/100 wired). A few weeks ago I tested out a Mikrotik for a few hours and I got over 35Mb/s through 2 walls over 802.11n (same computers). I guess that's...

    Prosumer router recommendation

    Hello guys, I'm looking forward to buying a new router but can't decide what to buy. So let me explain my situation. My appartment is about 55 m2, made out of reinforced concrete (AFAIK even the inside walls) and I'll have the router placed pretty close to the center of the appartment. Any...
