    Archer C6 - using WDS bridging on 5.0Ghz

    Hello everyone! I just had a very quick question as I'm not sure how I could test this, so I thought I could ask the experts in here to confirm. Can I use WDS bridging on 5.0ghz and also have 2.4ghz devices connect to it? If not, is it possible to set this up via tplink firmware or custom...

    Gaming Router Recommendation

    Wow, great recommendations. I come from using really old routers with tomato firmware. What is the practical benefit I should see with a higher tier CPU in the router?

    Gaming Router Recommendation

    Can I please get a recommended router for 3 people in the house who would be gaming, while another person streams at the same time? Looking for low latency routers. Two of us will be using ethernet, but I'm not sure about the other person. I'm not sure what to look for because ethernet seems...

    I need help with network setup, please.

    I have tomato router and dd-wrt router. I have 2 very long ethernet cables. One router is the wrt54gs and the other is a net gear wnr2000v3. I want to extend wifi to 2 other rooms in the house. I am currently using my neighbors wifi with permission. My own internet won't be installed till next...

    Router or firmware limited latency?

    I would like to note, just in case anyone comes across this old thread, isolating the network via vlans helped a lot. I have not seen any stutters so far.

    Router or firmware limited latency?

    I think I figured it out. I have to remove myself from the ip list and just use the default (the whole vlan). I think the BW limit priority difference between the vlans can be work in effect if I used "Default Class for unlisted MAC / IP's in LAN (br0)" instead of "Bandwidth Limiter for LAN...

    Router or firmware limited latency?

    Ok, I got everything to work. I set the whole new vlan as normal priority in BW limter. And myself being the only one on the original vlan, I set it to higher priority. Will this work in effect? Will I have higher priority over the hosts in the other vlan, despite us being on different vlans...

    Router or firmware limited latency?

    Is it ok if I delete every class in the QoS. And then set it up like I have in BW limiter? I would create a dst ip and src ip for my PC. And set it as the highest priority. Then create a class for everything else with normal priority?

    Router or firmware limited latency?

    So even if bandwidth limiter is doing its job correctly, I will still experience the same microstutters with a new modern router? Unless I combine BW limiter with QoS, correct? The guy that suggested separate vlans, uses that method because he was experiencing the same issue, but not because of...

    Router or firmware limited latency?

    Sorry, I didn't mean to confuse you. I am gaming on ethernet. The guy suggested I put the wireless network and my gaming pc on separate vlans.

    Router or firmware limited latency?

    The limit is not reached with the spikes. Someone suggested to me to put the gaming setup or wireless network on a separate vlan. I will try that.

    Router or firmware limited latency?

    Hi SNB community! I have been running Tomato firmware for awhile on my old Asus RT-N10P. I didn't have problems while gaming before, but I noticed my new roommate it causing spikes in the IP traffic graph, and it is actually affecting game latency a little bit. I noticed microstutters in game...

    Questions about subtle ethernet cord setup.

    The white tape is to make the cable subtle, so the owner of the house doesn't complain to me :). I don't like the text on the ethernet cable too, so I figured white tape would be good to camo and hold the ethernet cable as it runs alongside the wall and floor.

    Questions about subtle ethernet cord setup.

    I plan on buying this here. Is "Monoprice Next business day $6.99", actually overnight shipping price? That sounds like a great price for overnight shipping. Cat5e is what the specs show. But with respect, you still didn't answer my questions/concerns. I guess I'm worried about interference or...

    Questions about subtle ethernet cord setup.

    I am buying an unshielded 100ft white ethernet cord from monoprice. I wanted to know if it's ok for the ethernet cord to run along the ceiling and go above a cord used for my ceiling lamp. And is it ok to use white electrical tape or white vinyl tape on one section of the ethernet setup?
