    RT-N66U stopped working with modern

    I agree with your thoughta. The asus is also not working in AP mode behind the HH5. I've gone for a new Asus modem router which should be here tomorrow. Hopefully that'll get things up and running again. Sent from my Chromebook 14 (CB3-431) using Tapatalk

    Of course you need to know your external IP or use a dynamic IP service also.

    Asus RT-AC66U not port forwarding

    Local port are the numbers you've just listed. You need local port or router can't redirect it.

    Are AC routers really worth it?

    What's your connection to the internet like? I suspect that'll be your bottle neck. It doesn't sound like you're shifting vast data around your LAN so the N66u will be ideal. Dave

    215+ or 215j?

    I'm looking as well and my old 212j is under resourced, particularly when it comes to indexing media etc. I'm thinking of going to a 215+

    Synology 212j and Asus RT N66U on Merlin 378.54_2

    I get the drift, there's a few on Amazon. Makes a mockery of my gigabit network I wired through the house. So a cheap switch may get NAS and PC talking but the other PC's around the house will still get only fast Ethernet.
