Hi all, Hoping someone can help me out as I'm usually quite clued up with internet setups but I've moved house to a total not-spot. 1.3mb DSL, no fiber etc. So I bought a cheap Vodafone MiFi R218H box, it works but not good enough for gaming a (particularly if Netflix is on) I cant seem to...

Hi I would like make some router rules to block IP range, would like to do it in GUI if possible or if not then easiest possible way with putty. Thank you for any help I'm trying to block an undesirable who connects to my game lobby but his ip is within a range as not static. Thank you. Db

Hi All, Back again to pick some brains, so I left my old ISP which had only 1 public IP and now have a /29 block. Previously I put my old cable router into modem mode and it would pass 0 NAT connection to my PS4, this is the smoothest most problem free experience I've had. Recently I got a...

Thanks for the repy, I would have to buy a switch which I dont mind doing but im concerned about QoS, if I do this am I going to be able to prioritize the ps4 packets at all? Also I currently have the vmg1312 in bridge mode, could I use this to give out the external ips instead of a switch...

So I recently changed ISP and now have access to 6 ipv4 addresses from a block of 8. I've never had this before so was wondering how I make use of it, I want to give a separate external IP to my PS4 with no NAT and have the rest of my devices run through another IP or individual IPs. I have...

So could I find the netem file and put it on a usb and load it the same way or is the AC68U just not compatible due to its CPU? Again don't mind the leg work just need to know where to look to learn about it and obviously if its not possible I'd rather not waste my time! If not could you...

Hi Merlin, Is the above info no longer correct or has the person in the video below compiled his own? I really want to be able to do this without bridging to my Fedora box because its causing NAT issues I cannot seem to resolve.. (I'm on AC68U latest Merlin F/W). Thanks, Dave

Thanks, Dave

Changing ISP to one which 100% doesnt do any shaping or blocking, will update if this solves the issues otherwise will be back to firmware/servers to blame as its still not right.

Got it running the same or maybe better on Merlin now (after an hour of troubleshooting before realising I hadn't put the WAN Ethernet back in after flashing and was connected to another wifi :oops:), looks good but yet to game on it.. Settings below are working. Any tweaks/ things I can add to...

Tomato firmware above settings: Test 1 London - 3 down 2 up 24 ping Test 2 London (disc/recon) - 4 down 2 up 24 ping Test 3 Germany - 49 down 3 up. - ping 48ms and 2ms jitter - this would be playable if the exit node was closer Test 4 East Coast - 45 down 2 up ping 118ms 3ms jitter Test 5...

Hi Yorgi, I'm in the UK on Virgin Media, 50/3 right now but its going up to 200/20 tomorrow.. It is definitely connecting as PIA homepage says I'm protected and speed tests run at 7ish meg while I get about 53 when its not connected to VPN.. I'm not sure its the ISP because I used the N66U...

Hi Yorgi, Thanks for your detailed response. Connection wasn't disconnecting and also speed seemed constant but slow around 7 meg on a 50/3 con. I meant unstable ping with high jitter, on the N66U I was getting 0-2ms jitter on several servers with default settings after uploading the openvpn...

Hi all, I've went through all the settings on the sticky and still cannot get a stable connection to my PIA vpn. I want to use the VPN for gaming as DDOS is very common when playing cash tourneys and wagers. I have played from my connection on the PIA London server and had incredibly stable...

Cheers I will try them settings now and try going to your fork! Anything else I need to worryabout when OC'ing? Since I have the A2 and I dont plan on messing with the heatsink? I may buy a small USB fan if that would run off the usb port on the back? Edit: Currently on with no encryption...
