@coxhaus, those do different things. Latency, bandwidth, and degradation of latency under load are three distinct functions of a connection. Any of them can be "good" or "bad" independent of the others. Yes, you can spend more for a higher bandwidth connection, but all else being equal, that...

Absolutely NOT from ping due to being in the middle of nowhere. That 23ms ping is the ping based on the location. It's the +22ms (total of 45ms) ping that occurs due to poor flushing of packets, leading to an effective increase in latency under load. That flag on "Low Latency Gaming" under load...

That's not what bufferbloat is about. Bufferbloat can occur on high bandwidth connections. Bufferbloat occurs because of the larger packets that appeared as bandwidth speeds increased and memory costs dropped. Yes, it can also be an issue if you saturate a connection, but even if it's not...

Just an update for anyone else who stumbles on this. We did go ahead and rip off the band-aid so to speak, eliminating all the dot naming that had worked fine through DD-WRT. So, where before we had subdomains of printer, phone, and some media objects, we have flattened all of those and just use...

Yes, it's really subdomains that are the issue. I do understand that's not really needed for our small network. They were added for convenience only, but we could achieve the same thing just using naming conventions: like instead of hp.printer, where printer is a subdomain of our onsite local...

Yes, but, as internal names, these could be different domains, all the way to TLDs (either like our .printer, or I could add our own company domain to the end -- .printer.ourco.com or printer.local, etc.). Originally, we managed this via our own DNS servers on a Windows domain, but we've...

OMG, I'm so sorry and I feel like an idiot!! OK, so there's still an issue, but it's a little different from what I originally said. Modified question: is there any way to include dots in the names in the GUI? Currently, it prevents entering dots. I could use them in DD-WRT and I can enter them...

How? As far as I can tell, it doesn't work. Works fine if I modify the dnsmasq.conf file, but it ignores the names in the GUI. See my screenshots above. The one in DD-WRT works. The one on the ASUS yields no name resolution when I try to access that from a PC, unless I add the address=/<system...

I only dug into the command line because it did not work from the GUI. Is there another setting needed to get it to use those host names in its DNS resolution?

Yes, that is set to "Yes", same is an your picture. Note that I don't have any problem with IP#'s. That works fine. The problem is the naming for DNS resolution. For example, we have several printers. For accessing those printers, we want new PC's to be able to connect to them directly, but we...

I currently have that assigned to the Asus router itself. I think that part is working, because if I manually modify the dnsmasq.conf file, it does properly provide the naming. So the router must be serving up DNS to the network. The problem for me is that I would prefer to enter the MAC/IP...

I am new to ASUS and Merlin, but I've used DD-WRT for years. If I SSH into the Asus router (RT-AX86U Pro), I see that I can add lines to dnsmasqconf in /etc or dnsmasq.conf.add like: address=/<system name>/192.168.100.101 And that if I do that, then all systems on the LAN can access <system...
