    High RAM on ASUS RT-AC88U Router?

    Hi, Ive noticed the RAM usage on my Asus AC88U router is very high, sometimes up to 90%+ as shown in the attached screenshot: What could be causing this? I do have a fair number of devices on my home network; 5 computers, 1 laptop, 5 mobile phones, 2 smart televisions and 1 Alexa as well...

    Help with Port Forwarding!

    Ok then. Shame theres not some way to test it actually works or determine whether my ISP is blocking ports. Would you guys possibly have any other ideas what the issue might be? I think it all relates to packet loss as thats what I get kicked from the server for. Pinging the server shows 0% loss...

    Help with Port Forwarding!

    If I set them to open in both the inbound and outbound directions then it rules out everything. Yeh but as shown in the other screenshot from the port tester they are still shown as closed even with the game running! If you say that the tester measures inbound and the port forwarding sets up...

    Help with Port Forwarding!

    Sorry but I dont get in what sense they are "wrong" as you keep insisting since they refer to opening OR forwarding those ports. They may not be applicable to ASUS routers or it may not be advisable but they are not wrong per say from what I can make out. You yourself even mention about...

    Help with Port Forwarding!

    Thanks for the replies, however I am a bit confused since the article from EA says "opening OR forwarding". Traffic to the game server comes inbound and outbound. Fair enough regarding ports 80 or 443, but if I try testing ANY of the ports mentioned they are all shown as closed. Even when the...

    Help with Port Forwarding!

    They are printed in the manual too. Anyway regardless, can someone please help in getting these ports open. If they are temporarily open and Im still lagging then I can at least rule it out. Thanks.

    Help with Port Forwarding!

    Thanks for the reply and appreciate the concern. Those instructions were taken directly from EAs official website: Source: http://help.ea.com/uk/article/online-ports-for-battlefield-3/ Might not be a good idea for the long term, but at least if they were definitely open then I could test and...

    Help with Port Forwarding!

    Im experiencing a lot of lag while gaming online (Battlefield) and the game forums recommend opening ports on your router so it can connect properly. So I firstly assigned a fixed IP address: Then I followed the instructions for port forwarding and entered the various suggested values. I...

    Disconnection Issues Since Updating Firmware

    Ok I tried resetting everything back to factory settings, then reapplied the settings manually. Still disconnected tonight unfortunately. So I downloaded WinScp as suggested and put the wan_check.sh file into the /jffs (and /jffs/scripts) folder. Then loaded up PuTTY and typed in the 'chmod...

    Disconnection Issues Since Updating Firmware

    Thanks for the reply. Im surprised to hear this firmware gives such problems, I thought it was supposed to be an improvement on the official one! Ok so I copy and paste the script in that thread you mentioned into notepad and save it as "wan_check.sh" on my USB stick connected to the router...

    Disconnection Issues Since Updating Firmware

    Ever since updating my firmware to Asuswrt-Merlin a few days ago Ive been having disconnection issues. It might just be coincidence, but strangely it seems to occur around midnight and only once! Although this is typically when I am also doing the most downloading/streaming. The disconnection...
