Yeah... I have AC wifi. It's cheap--"Internet Essentials" for those of us lucky enough to be on SSDI and the like--but it's not 1999 wifi. Thank you! That pretty much is all I needed to know. I'll stick with something standard; I am on a budget anyway. The speeds are pretty slow. I just wanted...

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...

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...

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)...

Hey Colin! You are a GOD! It's working yay! What a cluster*#$% with the effing range extender, though. There are tons of posts on Netgear about this; many, many people are not happy with their implementation of these virtual MACs. It has utility, I guess, but causes problems, too. Other than...

Ok great. The problem here, of course, is that a static ip address is going to have a different MAC address depending on whether it is going to the router via my range extender or a direct connection (like we talked about). So the So, for instance, my pc (192.168.1.221) is picked up with that IP...

Yes, I think you are absolutely right. In fact, looked at the Netgear site and they pretty much said that ("virtual MAC address"?). Ok; want to make sure I'm understanding the terminology. Go into LAN>DHCP SERVER and then "Manually Assigned IP around the DHCP list." Then choose unassigned IP...

Jeez, so sorry for getting back late. Lots of stuff going on, but inconsiderate, sorry! I did what you asked and yes, you are right: When I'm connected via wifi to the main SSID, my jesspc laptop reflects the correct MAC address (32:02:86:68:A9:C5). When I'm connected via wifi to the S5 range...

Thanks @ColinTaylor. I tried your suggestion last night; please see the screenshot. I think I have everything as per your instruction. It still didn't work. Note too that I have two devices that I'm trying to block now: my laptop (192.168.1.23) and the range extender I use (192.168.1.250)...

Yes, sorry, it was actually on when I was using it. I did a "recreation" of the way it was set, since the client device is my laptop and I don't have another computer. Didn't think it could be that easy :) Sorry.

Oh, it absolutely does. But the other part of my goal is blocking the internet during that period. My torrent client can't help with that :)

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...

I'm the OP--we ended up setting the RT-56U up, maxxing it out with HGG's awesome Merlin fork, and things are going decently. I'm having other problems now due to the various and multiple devices we've got running, but let's just say I have a workable internet connection for the most part. I...

Ok; I unchecked b/g, and both my printer and Roku are working! The GUI shows both clients and I was able to use both wirelessly. Thank you! Just curious, what did this do?

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...
