    DNS Cache Poisoning

    Thanks for the useful advice guys. Coxhaus, what's your view of MicroTik based on? Their routers look like excellent value for money - I was actually just about to buy one to replace the RT66. I had been looking at the Cisco RV340, but have been put off by the cost and the really awkward...

    MicroTik RouterBoard Routers - any good?

    With Merlin support for my Asus RT-N66U coming to an end, I've been thinking about what next. I was thinking the obvious candidate would be an AC88U, but I've seen MicroTik routers mentioned a few times on the forums, so had a look at their range. I'm astonished at how good value they seem to...

    DNS Cache Poisoning

    Doesn't the web interface need to be enabled to allow DDNS to work for inbound VPNing to work? If I disable the web interface, will it still work? I saw that Merlin support had ended - a perfect excuse for me to buy something new. Can't decide what though - we have BT Whole Home WiFi for the...

    DNS Cache Poisoning

    DNS Cache Poisoning

    Evening all. I've been noticing some unusually odd behaviour on my home network over the weekend. Things like the eBay app on my phone saying there's no network, when the WiFi is working fine, but then working ok when I disconnect from WiFi. That, and an unusually large number of Certificate...

    Cheap Wireless bridge to link 2 DSL Routers?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I had considered that but had discounted it as a non-starter as there are two consumer units between the router and the cabin (the main home one, and a smaller one in the cabin). I had believed that powerline adapters wouldn't work across consumer units, but having...

    Cheap Wireless bridge to link 2 DSL Routers?

    Hi all, I'm a newby here, but think I'll become a regular! Some very interesting threads! I stumbled upon the site whilst researching the feasibility of setting up a wireless bridge between the home network and my garden office cabin network. Both the house and the cabin have DSL lines, and...
