    RT-AC3200 won't let me disable QoS in the GUI. Is there a line command?

    Instead of telnet, a much simpler approach is to just use your web browser. Essentially there is a bug in the validation code that looks for a parameter that doesn't exist. Before hitting "apply" on QoS settings, open dev tools in your browser (ctrl+shift+j). Enter the command...

    Recommendation for Reliable Router with good QoS (200mbps down)

    Thank you for your advice! I'll probably do that and disable wireless which seemed unstable, using a second device as an access point.

    Recommendation for Reliable Router with good QoS (200mbps down)

    My current combo router/switch/ap (Asus ac68u) is causing more headaches than I'd like and am looking to use distinct devices for each function. My main use case is normal browsing, video conferencing, some gaming, and heavy Dropbox usage with two users and an average number of devices. As my...

    Router UI Doesn't fully load

    Thank you for your explanation. I am curious why converting is considered problematic yet hosting custom/modified firmware is not (which contain proprietary binaries), but I admire the attempt to respect intellectual property. I'll see myself out :p.

    Router UI Doesn't fully load

    I know you feel overwhelmed by people coming here and posting things about the tmobile router, but your sticky posts are pretty lacking. Why is it not "supported"? If you successfully load merlin on it, is it still different than a stock router? What are the differences? The rest of the internet...

    Router UI Doesn't fully load

    I set up my router to be at "router.home" host and domain. I also have NGINX running as a reverse proxy so that router.home traffic is routed to the router UI while all other traffic is routed to the appropriate host. When connecting via router.home sometimes the UI fails to completely load...

    Small apartment with crowded wifi

    I ended up going with the tmobile rt-ac1900 hoping to update the firmware ac68u. Thanks for the advice!

    Small apartment with crowded wifi

    I can't seem to cut through the marketing to actually make a purchasing decision. Can you help me choose a new router? I think the main problem is that my rt-n66u just can't handle the incredibly crowded wifi that exists at my complex (2.4 ghz is unusable while 5 ghz has 10-20 routers visible)...

    Crowded WiFi but small space

    That gives me some confidence to give it a whirl, I'll try it out from retail and return if it doesn't work magic :D. Thanks to the other comments for suggesting dropping a line between the router and devices or moving the AP closer - I wish I could but I think the wife-approval-factor and...

    Crowded WiFi but small space

    I have a small 2 bedroom apartment facing a courtyard of a rectangular complex. This means we have a ton of WiFi interference. The 2.4 ghz band is completely unusable while 5ghz is usually fine but has its moments where connections stutter (not sure if it is tx and/or rx having issues, but...
