    Looking to ditch FreeNAS

    FreeNAS is an excellent project, don't get me wrong, but far too commercially / professionally oriented for what i actually need at home. Not being able to change pools after creation etc gets to be painful at times. I've been looking into openmediaserver but realize i have absolutely zero...

    Blue Cave support

    Actually, there is / has been a Blue Cave fork of Merlin, and it works well. I have been using it without issues. It's been in development since 2018, so I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned here. https://github.com/paldier/bluecave-merlin This is of the latest ASUS firmware as of the time of...

    Trying to understand channels and 20/40/80 channel width setting

    My router defaults to 20/40/80 but i limit it to 40 for two reasons: 1) fairly small apartment (>700 sq feet) & 2) heavy wi-fi pollution (city) I have used 40 for years no problem but 80 seems like it will just cause problems with the amount of competing wifi traffic here.

    Phicomm K3 (not K3c) Discussion

    interesting to note. I have the B1 hardware revision, probably not surprising since its a non-China unit. If i look at the latest FCC internal photos for the router we see on the Broadcom chip "BCM4366KMMLWG / UE1723 P30 / 360-26 3" Assuming but not positive this is the older revision BCM4366.

    Phicomm K3 (not K3c) Discussion

    Hello, Surely i must not be the only one around who has one of these. I jumped ship from ASUS recently (sold my AC88u had since 2015, didnt want the radios dying on me). Weird that the MU-MIMO is turned off by default. I had to turn off Beamforming on the latest firmware or i'd get devices...

    Entware Entware: which USB stick performs well?

    I have never had a usb flash drive which my router wouldn't eventually kill, or at least glitch out and not be able to see it anymore. I only use a portable HDD with my router now, and good throughput too... often have it serving files via Samba, disk cache, and running ab-solution at the same time.

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    Thanks for the replies guys, but it's not actually a major issue like with children and i have no need to spy on anyone - my wife's in school and asked if i could have facebook and facebook messenger 100% blocked during a few hours every night on the week days. If she really wants to bypass it...

    AC88U / 3100 owners with radio problems?

    I have read a lot of reports here of AC88U owners with dead or dying 2.4ghz radios. I have had one since 2015 and it is working fine but i am concerned about its longevity. 1. Has anyone with 2.4ghz problems inspected for capacitor or power supply problems? 2. How old is everyone's ac88u 3...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.6 is now available

    Same here..... great performance so far... I have 2.4/5ghz smart connect activated, so i don't know what of my devices are connecting via 2.4 or 5ghz. All my wifi devices are AC compatible so i assume most work is happening on 5ghz. And TY for that Sinner. I didn't know. I am using all 8...
