    Mini-UPS for simultaneous power supply of LTE-modem and ax86u

    I have been looking to buy exactly this type of mini-UPS, and I had looked at this very item on Amazon but I was deterred by the number of reviews stating that routers like the Fritzbox cannot keep going when there is a power failure, because there seems to be a 2-3 second period when...

    Does RT-AC68U support 802.11r?

    Thanks. Is that on stock, with Merlin, or both?

    Help to configure subnets and DHCP

    Thanks @ColinTaylor – that makes perfect sense and is sort of what I assumed. I suppose the reason I was confused was the fact that there is even an option to specify the gateway on a LAN – I wonder when you would need to specify the gateway as anything different than the LAN router's IP. I also...

    Help to configure subnets and DHCP

    Thanks for your help. I must say I don't fully understand the "Gateway" concept. I always see in router configurations both "WAN Gateway" and "LAN Gateway". Sometimes these fields are left blank, and things work anyway. Sometimes, there is (in addition to the LAN Gateway IP address) a checkbox...

    Does RT-AC68U support 802.11r?

    I have an RT-AC68U that I want to put into service as a wireless access point with Ethernet backhaul to the main (wireless) router, which is running OpenWRT. It would be great to have Fast Roaming and I can get 802.11r on the main router, but does the AC68U support it? I have updated to the...

    Wifi Access Point buying advice please

    Thanks @Trip for the info. I am wondering whether you get more for your money by buying consumer routers and installing something like DD-WRT on them - then you can control things like transmit power yourself. I think consumer routers are generally cheaper than access points, right? Are there...

    CAUTION about recently released firmware QTS 5.0.0.1808 Build 20211001

    Just a warning to others to wait and not install the latest 5.0.0.1808 firmware advertised to x86 units. There is a long thread on the QNAP forum with many different errors reported. My FTP-based backup of clients on the LAN stopped working because QNAP included a new "QuFTP" app in the release...

    Switch back to Pfsense from Opnsense and why.

    Thanks for the helpful post. Two questions, as I am thinking of investing in a router for one of the two: So, to be clear – are you saying that for a new pfSense user, there is more/better help available than for a new OPNSense user? Do you have to take the updates, or can you wait and see how...

    Help to configure subnets and DHCP

    Hi, just joined to seek some advice. The modem/router provided by my ISP is crippled, so I want to replace it – but I can't completely for ADSL and VoIP reasons. It also can't be put in bridge mode (did I mention it is crippled?) so I will have to use its DMZ functionality and put my main...
