    Why does lower priority QoS device overtake higher priority device?

    That's super handy to know, and i do have Merlin. I'd really like to know how this works (I'm hoping to keep it simple, but obviously am quite lost as to how it all works, and if any of the other QoS options are better, etc). (and why the heck do they have the color priorities, and not give...

    Why does lower priority QoS device overtake higher priority device?

    RT-AX86U when I go to Adaptive-QoS> BandwidthMonitor> I see that my NAS is chewing up more bandwidth than my MAC, even though the MAC is higher priority (Orange=High) than the NAS (Blue=Lowest). If i power the NAS down, then the MAC gets its bandwidth back. Why does NAS (Hardwired) take over my...

    Why does client Tx and Rx show so crazy WRONG??

    NOT SURE IF OTHER WAYS, BUT I FOUND THIS IN CASE YOU NEED IT... -To see client bandwidth usage: 1-AdaptiveQoS> 2-BandwidthMonitor> 3-LookAtClient

    What does Tx/Rx Rate in the client list mean?

    -To see client bandwidth usage: 1-AdaptiveQoS> 2-BandwidthMonitor> 3-LookAtClient

    What does Tx/Rx Rate in the client list mean?

    WELL, that's kinda useless info most of the time! How does one see the true current bandwidth of all clients... now THAT is USEFUL info 99% of the time!

    Why does client Tx and Rx show so crazy WRONG??

    RE: RT-AX86U when I go NetworkMap> Clients(ViewList)> and sort by TxRate (for example), my mac shows 400Mbps Tx and Rx. This is BS, and using iStat-Menus (which shows accurately), my push speed in my example, shows abut 300Kbps (thats Kilo, not Meg, as the client shows (400Mbps). WHY is...

    RT-AX86U OpenVPN Just Doesn't Work! (for me yet)

    Sorry if any confusion... I'm referring to a problem with the Merlin firmware. I do realize it works with the Asus firmware.

    RT-AX86U OpenVPN Just Doesn't Work! (for me yet)

    SUCCESS, Thanks... !!! I was getting all ready to capture the log etc, so i enabled SSH and tested it by typing "reboot", then my router rebooted. After this, I was continuing, then POOF, realized it was all working! For some reason, this setup and reboot gave it the kick-in-the-pants that it...

    Server, and yes. I test from external. Firewall is disabled (and enabled) both ways during testing.

    RT-AX86U OpenVPN Just Doesn't Work! (for me yet)

    RT-AX86U OpenVPN Just Doesn't Work! (for me yet) (I get the feeling there is a real bug here... shouldn't be this difficult!) I have flashed back and forth between Asus (which works fine) and Merlin (which does NOT work). ---I've done this a few times, same results every time ---(P.S. ipSEC...

    SNMP results SPIKEY on Asus RT-N66U router

    fwiw... Here's the snnpwalk.txt from my Mac... (attached...) my network interface is ppp0

    SNMP results SPIKEY on Asus RT-N66U router

    I'm certainly not saying i know everything... I have done some research on SNMP. I've used my SNMP software (multiple s/w on multiple platforms on multiple devices), and I always just POINTED at the device, and the s/w showed nice averaged values. So i think you're right (and my suspicion) is...

    SNMP results SPIKEY on Asus RT-N66U router

    Ok, i had my doubts, but went to all the trouble... same crap, different day. DID NOT FIX IT... Do you ACTUALLY HAVE and USE this router and SNMP? I'm looking for someone who actually uses it, as it does NOT appear to work properly! RMerlin, are you reading any of these? THANKS!

    SNMP shows incorrect SPIKED traffic on RT-N66U Merlin

    Firmware is current version 380.66_4. I have TWO of these routers, tested on BOTH. (one is a backup in case the other fails) Do YOU ACTUALLY have this router? If so, I'm looking for someone to test theirs on, that would be a great help.

    SNMP results SPIKEY on Asus RT-N66U router

    Firmware is current version 380.66_4. I've done all of that... i have TWO of these routers, so i don't need to factory. (one is a backup in case the other fails) Do YOU ACTUALLY have this router? If not, I'm looking for someone to test theirs on, that would be a great help.
