So really the question is which brands are mostly or wholly made here in the states? Concerns have come up in the intelligence community in the past decade where out of country manufacturing was prone to back doors and weak security to benefit intelligence services of other countries. I get...

I am not finding any good information on what companies actually make their equipment in the states. Most stuff is made in china such as TP-Link, Cisco, Aruba, and others. Asus and others are made in Taiwan and a lot of manufacturing is moving there and to south korea as the quality...

I have had to set my device to using a static IP, and with port forwarding on I get quicker response on testing network. I have been having constant issues off and on with chat sessions relating to nat problems. I doubt that the issue is hardware I added to the network to improve performance...

I have been doing some quick reading on trying to get UPNP and nat issues resolved on my PS4 with my Asus AC3100RT. As per this site: https://portforward.com/networking/static-ip-ps4/ These ports need to be set on Port forwarding: TCP: 80, 443, 1935, 3478-3480 UDP: 3478-3479 Apparently the...

For the settings to stick you have to do it through the web interface. Doing it through the command shell will not persist setting wise after the unit is rebooted. As far as I can find/figure out the web interface has some additional commands embedded that permanently turn on or off the...

Transdector is the gold standard of lightening protection product vendors. You want a surge arrestor versus a surge protector. As far as phone line and cable l-com.com sells inline lightening surge arrestors with gas discharge tubes depending upon your application. IF you have had repeated...

Please make sure he has the router IP address set as one of the DNS servers. Local network addresses of 10.x.x.x, 192.x.x.x, 172.x.x.x are not routable over the internet and if you are using external DNS servers, your local network devices may not resolve properly.

multi thread post. I am keeping things separated for easier track ability and information gathering.

How warm is the area where your networking equipment is located at? If it is not a brisk 65 degrees heat could be your problem.

There is the option to reset the file every hour, 6 hours, day, week, or month. At what time does that file get rewritten, or is it a case where the information is just written over starting with the oldest first? If it just clears the file and starts anew, at what time is that done. based on...

Under tools and other options you have the option to specify where to store the file on a usb storage device or locally. Under administration in the system tab there is an option for a remote log server. Is it possible to point that to a locally connected usb hard disk? for a monitoring...

As far as I can tell the software is set to be permissive by default just on parental controls. Each device has to be specifically added and restricted time wise. For the Yandex.DNS the opposite is true. You have to add each device if you want it exempted, and then maybe reboot the router for...

Thorgear, merely setting up strong wireless encryption and securing the physical ethernet port access points should protect you sufficiently. If you are providing access to others via yours the issue becomes very problematic as far as what you can and can not do.

With IP conflicts the cheater way to do things if you know where one device has the address is to power down that device and then do arp and other ping tests to run down what/where the other device might be. Often times you will find an improperly configured device with a static IP as being at...

I would also advise sticking with one end to end vendor for everything. Hardware conflicts are an eventuality and it is much easier to work with one company that you bought all your products from so that there is no finger pointed but at them and they can only point at their product and point...
