    Work poor local network speed - Help me reply to my boss

    To be fair Tech9 I agree with what you are saying and that I should stay within the bounds of my role. But the problem is, I' am responsible for this site. The management at this site employ me separately from the main organisation. It's a really weird setup. I come from a networking...

    Work poor local network speed - Help me reply to my boss

    Hi Colin, thanks for your reply and you make some really valid points. But this organisation encompasses around 1500 users in my building alone. I understand using the lan to control the amount of bandwidth. But don't most modern switches traffic shape anyway and you can implement things like...

    Work poor local network speed - Help me reply to my boss

    Hi all, I have started as IT specialist at an organisation which have chosen to limit their ports on their avaya switches to 100mb/s (which leaves us with a local network transfer of 10mb/s) and I find this unacceptable. I have asked to have the ports changes to auto negotiate and allow the...

    problem with xbox game pass

    Hi all, I recently installed the freshtomato firmware on my AC68u and I seem to be having a problem with xbox game pass on PC. At first I thought it was a firewall issue and decided to activate UPNP to let it forward the necessary ports. I then reset the program. IT would initially start...

    Need some help with my home network

    Thanks again for a really informative reply. So when I say that I have access to router and nas admin page. I mean that if I connect my phone to the guest wireless on the ap-point I can still access the router page on the primary router dhcp.

    Need some help with my home network

    So I got it working with a static router and your firewall script. I can connect now with the access points dhcp. I can't see lan shares when I search for them on my phone. But I can still access my router homepage and NAS etc. Is there a way to prevent that? Thanks for all your input :)

    [ 386.4 alpha Build(s) ] Testing available build(s)

    Hi Merlin, Love your work and I hope Asus let you continue for as long as you are able. :) Btw I have a quick question. So I was having a little problem with my network. Using ai-mesh works fine for now except for the guest network (I have 3 -ac-68u routers). The guest network functions as...

    Need some help with my home network

    Thanks for the reply Tech9 I was wondering if there were any disadvantages that you know of using tomato? How well does hardware acceleration work for example? And should I use it on every router or just the nodes/ap-points? Andy

    Need some help with my home network

    So I have been messing around with things for the last few days when I got back from work. I got it kind of working how I want with the latest merlin firmware (alpha). Basically I can get the node working with all my networks apart from guest. The only way I can get guest work is router only. If...
