    Router Level Internet Monitoring

    Morning all, Are there any apps out there that can be run from MacOS & iOS where I can monitor my kids internet access? Unfortunately Circle doesn't work the RBR/RBS 850s that I have here in the UK. And I read a lot of reports on Amazon of it not working very well if I buy the physical device...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.6 is now available

    Something really wrong with this on my RT-AC88U. It was rock solid stable on 384.5 beta 2. Yet on the official version of 384.6 I keep losing 2.4ghz. The router light shows it’s on. But going into the router it says control channel [emoji646] and even though the button is switched on and radio...

    QoS Settings for XBox One X on RT-AC88U

    I meant that it would slow down due to more people downloading at the same time, not that they would throttle a particular game.

    QoS Settings for XBox One X on RT-AC88U

    I wonder why they are capping it so much? I can download from Apple at circa 27-28MBps. I can understand when something/game is initially released and there is a surge in demand. But not for games that have been there for a while.

    QoS Settings for XBox One X on RT-AC88U

    Yes tried that. The speeds are still slow in comparison. I don’t think that matters on the XBox One X. This is the speed it’s fluctuating between when downloading to a SSD (OCZ VERTEX 3) in a USB 3 Caddy. Every app/game has been quit so the only thing happening on the box is this...

    Morning all, I am trying to setup Alexa & IFTTT on my Asus RT-AC88U using Merlin 382.2 beta 3 firmware. However when i paste the activation code in IFTTT.Com it tells me my device isn't supported. It seems i need the Alexa Skill, but as I am UK based account (but living in the Middle East) I...

    QoS Settings for XBox One X on RT-AC88U

    Finally sorted it a different way. As you’ll see in the attached screenshot above the NAT Type on the HUAWEI Router was Port Restricted Cone NAT. I changed that to Full Cone NAT as an experiment and voila NAT Open on the XBox. Also the speed is now as so. So hopefully on Game...

    QoS Settings for XBox One X on RT-AC88U

    Ok managed to put the Huawei into Bridge mode. Had to find the default password for the router online and not the admin password. However it then stops the connection passing through to the 88U? Sorry for all the dumb questions :(

    QoS Settings for XBox One X on RT-AC88U

    Hmm if I disable NAT it stops the LAN working on the 88U and everything plugged in to it disconnects.

    QoS Settings for XBox One X on RT-AC88U

    Thank you. The ISP modem is a Huawei HG8245H which i can't seem to find how to put into bridge mode. Tried google but nothing doing. Everything is greyed out and i've logged in with the admin password (see attached screenshot) I've diabled NAT in the WAN section on the 88U and also checked...

    QoS Settings for XBox One X on RT-AC88U

    Thanks. Yep I’m on Merlin 382.1_2 I use Cat 7 cables so they’re good. Fairly sure UPNP is enabled, will check I’ve changed the DNS servers on the XBox to primary 8.8.8.8 & secondary 8.8.4.4. Do I need to do it on the 88U as well? With regards to NAT acceleration. In the network diagnostics...

    QoS Settings for XBox One X on RT-AC88U

    Evening all I am wondering if you can help at all. I have been trying to cure slow download speeds on my XBox One X. I have 300/150 Fibre internet and when i run the inbuilt test on the XBox or with Speedtest.net on the browser i get circa 280/100 which would be fine. I have the XBox...
