    Eero 6 or Technicolor DGA0122 for USB storage?

    Hi I'm about to upgrade to full fibre and have a query about the router options. Of the two options I'm looking at, one gives an Eero 6 and the other a Technicolor DGA0122. My current setup has an external USB hard drive connected to an Asus AC68U which I use as a network drive and I'd really...

    Monitor internet speed using Asus router?

    Just wondering if there are any methods of monitoring my internet speed over a period of time? I have an Asus AC68U router and wondered if there might be an option there but I can't see anything obvious. I'm looking at changing from Vodafone fibre to 5G and would like to be able to see the...

    5G home broadband with NAS

    Does that mean things like hosting websites? I'm not really interested in that kind of thing, I'll just be a standard user (browsing, streaming etc). I'm guessing that not knowing what it means would imply I won't notice!

    5G home broadband with NAS

    I'm looking at options for a new broadband contract and thinking of going with Three 5G instead of the usual ISPs. Speed and cost seem good. Currently I have an Asus AC68U with a couple of USB hard drives that I use as NAS and I'd like to keep them. Would the easiest way be just to put the asus...

    VPN for certain streaming on Google home

    If you set up your VPN client, at the bottom there is an option for 'Force Internet traffic through tunnel'. Select 'Policy Rules'. Under the section that will appear, you just need to put the domain range in for 'Destination IP'. I just googled the domain range to get the IP. So for Pandora it...

    VPN for certain streaming on Google home

    Thanks for that. I eventually got around to putting Merlin on my router and it was easy :)

    Share showing full

    Posted too soon. Was going to delete post, but in case it helps anyone, the issue was a 'minidlna.log' file. I couldn't see the file until plugging directly into my laptop and showing hidden files. I don't know what it was, but it was 1.4TB so I deleted it. Maybe I'll run into problems later but...

    I have a 4TB hard drive plugged into an Asus AC68U router to use as a NAS. All has been fine for a good year, but randomly it now shows full and I can't put any files on. The files already there are accessible and don't seem corrupted. If I look at properties, I get: 7412 items totalling...

    VPN for certain streaming on Google home

    Hopefully this is the best place for this question... I have an Asus router handling my network and have 3 Google Home speakers. I also have a Nord vpn subscription. I live in the UK and I'd really like to be able to use the streaming service Pandora (for which you need a US vpn). I know I...

    Asus AC68U with 8TB hard drive?

    Haha, probably! Actually, I had a look at the files with the swap manually turned on and the router hung again so it didn't solve th issue anyway so I give up. I'll come up with something else.

    Asus AC68U with 8TB hard drive?

    OK, I've created a swap usb and got it mounted using that tutorial. However, I tried to created a script so that it would automatically start after a reboot but I'm struggling... I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to command line stuff. I managed to get into the router using Putty and created the...

    Asus AC68U with 8TB hard drive?

    Actually, I could make the swap partition on the hard drive right? Hibernation is already disabled.
