Hi, @pege63 - Thanks for the suggestions, but I isolated my 192.168.1.1 access problem to Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2017 (see above). FYI ... I did try a Knoppix Linux LiveCD a few days ago, and it did allow access to 192.168.1.1 (which I expected, since I could get to the Orbi on other PCs).

@sfx2000 - Was this suggestion to address the network configuration "pops" I keep getting? I tried the more restrictive 255.255.255.0 netmask, and it didn't seem to affect the network configuration frequency. @Vandergraff - I was wondering the same thing. My guess is that it may depend on the...

I found the solution regarding why I can't connect to 192.168.1.1: I have Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2017 installed. This was the root of the problem. I had previously tried disabling KAV2017 and exiting KAV2017 as part of my debugging effort. However, access to 192.168.1.1 was still blocked even...

The Orbi is back to 192.168.1.1 again - I just had it at 192.168.1.10 for the Wirshark testing. The Asus has been removed, now that I have the Orbi satellite installed. I'm "all Orbi" now. :) Do you want me to capture new Wireshark logs? Not sure how things would be affected with my main PC not...

The Asus RT-AC68U device is a second router that I had configured for WiFi-only operation as an extender on the network. It was wired to the Orbi Ethernet ports (through a switch). It wasn't actually being used as a router in my configuration. I actually had the Asus pretty much disabled during...

Thanks, @sfx2000 - I uploaded a Wireshark log with an example up here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12688440/Orbi_Network_Issue.pcapng The issue seemed to occur sometime around or after record #121. I listened for the "pops", and watched where the Wireshark log churned up. In the...

Regarding my second issue ... I discovered where the audio "pops" are coming from. I have a very handy tool installed that lets me quickly switch a real or virtual network device to another IPv4 address instantly. One of the options in the tool is to play the "pop" sound whenever it detects...

Hi, sfx2000 - I tried clearing the cache and cookies, and it didn't have any effect. It has to be something similar, though - When I changed the Orbi router's IP address to 192.168.1.3, I was able to get to that page when I enabled Javascript.

Hi - I am experiencing a couple of problems with my new Orbi / PC. I am running Win7x64 SP1. The two problems may be related in some way - not sure. Here's the first problem: For some reason, I can't get to the Orbi configuration page (at 192.168.1.1) on my main PC. I tried Chrome and...

I have a Samsung SM-T800 tablet that supports MIMO. How do I set up my dual-band Asus router to support this? Do I just have the 5GHz and 2.4 GHz bands set up to have the same SSID? I'm not sure how to get both bands connected simultaneously to the tablet.

Hi, LD&D - To be honest, I was kinda surprised this worked in this configuration as well. :eek: I originally planned on going into the WAN port first, but the guide I found on the web suggested otherwise. I couldn't find the original site I referenced, but this one from dd-wrt provides even...

Oops, I was tired when I typed that earlier today, now corrected. The RT-AC68U IS in "Wireless Router Mode".

Hi, @martinr - While what you mentioned is true with regards to heat on a microscopic cross-section, the dissipated heat and watts spread across a much larger CPU surface area can result in transistor damage at a much lower temperature. Using my Intel Core i7 3770 CPU as a reference, the...

Hi, @L&LD - My RT-AC68U is configured a little differently than you described. This is a picture and some basic settings for my two routers: The Asus RT-AC68U is in "Wireless Router Mode" instead of "Access Point Mode", so I don't know if that makes a difference. Let me know if there are...

OK, thanks!
