    Router recommendations for 1gbs fibre WAN and PPPOE

    Yes, all my speed tests have been carried out via direct connection using ethernet to whichever router I was trying out at the time. Also, all other devices (incl wifi mesh) were disconnected to ensure only the laptop I was using was the only device accessing the connection.

    Router recommendations for 1gbs fibre WAN and PPPOE

    I recently had 1gbs fibre installed in my home and realised my existing ASUS AC87 was not up to the task (maxing out around 500-600mb download). I'm led to believe that 1gb WAN with PPPOE can be taxing for a router and needs a good CPU. I then tried a Draytek 2865 and there was a slight...

    Asus merlin on N66U no traffic monitoring

    Having used only the stock firmware before, i was intrigued to try the merlin firmware, especially the traffic monitoring. I,ve got the latest build merlin loaded in. I cant seem to get the traffic monitoring to work though. I've set it on under the tools setting and enabled the usb logging...
