    Upgrade from Eero Gen1

    Hi, I live in a 170sqm (~1800sqft) apartment with thick walls and an unusual L-shape that I have covered with 3 Eero Gen1 nodes. Two of the nodes have an ethernet backhaul. It works well, but the fact that Gen1 is now EoL and not updated anymore, that Eero is now an Amazon company and the...

    Actiontech ECB6200 -> 500Mbps ok?

    I'm digging this up since I haven't really managed to solve my problem and I didn't really know where to start looking. Here's what the Actiontec GUI reports: The Phy Rate seems low. What about SNR, RX and TX power values? Any direction I should start looking at knowing that I have two coax...

    Actiontech ECB6200 -> 500Mbps ok?

    Yes, that's what I have, I probably wasn't clear in my description. Coax from the outlet goes to the ECB6200 (Coax In port). Coax from ECB6200 (TV/STB Out) to cable modem. Ethernet from ECB6200 to Asus RT-AC68U (LAN port). Ethernet from cable modem to Asus RT-AC68U (WAN port). I guess that part...

    Actiontech ECB6200 -> 500Mbps ok?

    Hi, I installed my two ECB6200 bonded adapters last week and from the tests I've been running with iperf I get ~500Mbps. I live in an apartment and I have installed a MoCA filter in the main building splitter where the main coax comes in (from the street) and the cables go out to each apartment...

    New AP after moving

    I thought MoCA 2.0 would have speeds ranging from 400-750 Mbps. At least, that's what I've read here...

    New AP after moving

    Hi, I've just moved and as expected I need to work on my wifi/network setup in order to get proper coverage. In my previous apartment (167m2 /1800 sq ft over two floors) I had an Asus RT-AC68U placed on the top floor that covered perfectly the whole apartment. I also had some RJ45 running from...

    Max WAN-LAN throughput QOS enabled Merlin Fork

    Thanks for the info. I guess I have to update to a newer version, since adaptive QoS doesn't seem to be supported by Merlin Fork 374.43 that I'm using now.

    Max WAN-LAN throughput QOS enabled Merlin Fork

    Should I consider upgrading to 378.52 in order to achieve those speeds with QoS enbaled? Or does my problem seem to be exclusively QoS config based? Just for info I'm using an Intel V-217 NIC on the test PC and as mentioned I reach 200Mbps on speedtest with QoS disabled and ~165Mbps when it's...

    Max WAN-LAN throughput QOS enabled Merlin Fork

    Hi, Hardware: AC68U - Merlin Fork 374.43 Update 10 (latest update) Cable connection 200/20 The problem: With QOS enabled my max download speed is 165 Mbps, When I disable it I reach 200 Mbps. (FTP test download, same file, same server) QOS is configured in such a way that I should be able to...

    QoS on RT-AC68U and 200Mbps connection

    Interesting... I'm going to look into that. Yes, I did yesterday and tried to set the router up with a minimal QoS configuration and still had the same issue...

    QoS on RT-AC68U and 200Mbps connection

    What do you mean by standard QoS? I am using the QoS available through "Traffic Manager" in the UI (as a reminder i am running Merlin Fork 374.43 update 10). Here is the CPU usage (from the "top" command - all CPU usage related to DL/UL is taken by sirq): -With QoS disabled: *DL: ~25% *UL...

    QoS on RT-AC68U and 200Mbps connection

    Merlin Fork has been extremely stable for me... I've been using it for the past 4 months and apart from a small custom DDNS bug in release 9, I have nothing to report.

    QoS on RT-AC68U and 200Mbps connection

    It does support the 200Mbps, but as I said, without QoS... I'm running Merlin Fork 374.43_2-10j9527 (latest). Why new SSID's? Is this FW update related or ISP connection? Single client, testing with a download on a FTP server that tops out the connection (203 Mbps) when QoS is disabled and...

    QoS on RT-AC68U and 200Mbps connection

    Hi, I've upgraded my connection to 200Mbps today and as expected the RT-AC68U struggles with that bandwidth when QoS is activated. It tops out at 165 Mbps, which is not that bad, but still I'm not using 100% of the available bandwidth. When QoS is off, no problem I hit the 200Mbps. So, when...

    NAS to Windows 40Mb/s - NAS to Linux 80 Mb/s

    Hi, Thanks for your reply! -CPU load is around 15-20%, the program using the most CPU is Filezilla, taking up 13-15% -The only antivirus is the built-in AV in Win8 -NIC offloading features? Could you explain that one a bit more? I haven't looked into that yet. -Intel NIC drivers are up to date...

    NAS to Windows 40Mb/s - NAS to Linux 80 Mb/s

    Hi, For the past couple of days I've noticed the strangest problem on my LAN, that I can't seem to solve: Hardware: -Linux server, running Ubuntu 14.04 with several file sharing services (NFS, SMB, FTP, etc.) -Desktop PC (Core i5, 16GB RAM, Intel NIC) running in dual boot Windows 8.1 and...

    Linux server and storage upgrade with NAS?

    Well I finally have decided to build a new Freenas server and to use the current RAID5 as a backup. I didn't really want to go that way, but I guess it might be the best choice for me. In that way everything is covered: RAID, backup and performance.

    Linux server and storage upgrade with NAS?

    I know that not having a backup is bad and a source of potential problems. Because of budget and time reasons I haven't been able to look into before. Now is the moment to potentially improve my setup. I was actually thinking of adding a simple 4 bay NAS (QNAP/Synology) with 4x3TB disks, backup...

    Linux server and storage upgrade with NAS?

    Hi, I currently have a server running Ubuntu with 5x 2TB drive in RAID5 (with mdadm). The server is running on an AMD Phenom X2 250 with 2GB RAM and is used for storage/sharing (SMB and NFS), Usenet downloads (SABNZBPlus and CouchPotato), streaming HD content to mediacenters, and some other...
