    Exploring options to improve WiFi coverage

    Thank you guys for your suggestions! They have pushed me into really checking the router market and I got to a couple of conclusions: - With their prices (at least in Europe) Ubiquiti would push me into 500+ € territory with a router and two APs - didn't even pitch this to my wife - Buy and...

    Exploring options to improve WiFi coverage

    Hello dear community, I am, sadly, in a bad edge coverage situation and I am looking for options to improve the signal around some edges. Building situation: - 2 floor apartment, with reinforced concrete structure (including ceiling/floor) and masonry walls (I have attached the plan) - Upper...

    Remotely configuring an EA2750 router

    I'm in a special situation and any idea might help me a lot. I have an EA2750 router (I don't remember the exact firmware version, but it's one of the latest) that, due to a power outage lost its settings. The router is far away from me, in a location that is rarely visited. Only my mother goes...

    Ars: Linksys Routers Leak MAC Addresses Of Anything Ever Connected

    The funny thing is that, at least in the case of the EA2750, the router's admin web page says there's no update and the latest firmware version on its support page is listed as problematic. So the router will not update itself and even if the user insists the result is not that useful...

    DS119j: Synology’s $99.99 Home NAS

    Man, that NAS is made as cheap as possible. A sort of best bang for the buck (at least from the sales department's point of view). Just imagine that if you'd buy an SBC (like a RaspberryPi), add a case and a power brick and you'd probably not be anywhere near the performance of this NAS. Not...

    [Q]Full port forwarding on a DSL router?

    I'm sorry for the bad choice of words. Thank you for getting the idea right! I never explored the concept of DMZ. Honestly I never gave it enough attention. Thank you for suggesting it!

    NAS buying advice!

    Giving that there are tens of 2 bay NAS'es that can do that, with prices from 100€ to over 500€ (without HDD's) , maybe price should matter at least a little. Also, how big is your torrents pool? A few, several tens, hundreds of torrents? Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

    Help me choose a wireless extender/repeater for vacation

    Thanks for your answer @thiggins! I know how a repeater works and that I'll be squeezing all the traffic through a thin tunnel. But that is the plan: to put the repeater in the best spot so that I don't have to be glued there while using the phone. For example, once I stayed in an apartment...

    Help me choose a wireless extender/repeater for vacation

    Hello there! I've found myself many times in vacation apartments where the offered wireless network has its AP positioned in such a way (in the neighbouring apartment, on a different floor, or maybe even 2 houses away) that the signal level is rather low or fluctuates. So I thought that a...

    QNAP TS-231P vs QNAP TS-231P2

    Hello there, I've kind of set my mind on this model (QNAP TS-231P) mostly because of the good performance and features for the given price (currently around 145€ in Germany). But I've also noticed that there is an updated version of this NAS in the form of the QNAP TS-231P2. I know it wasn't...

    Web interface or GUI for LFTP (entware)

    So, anybody else? Is there no such client in this world? Have I got so unique needs?

    Web interface or GUI for LFTP (entware)

    I didn't know about Aria2, that's why I didn't use it! :-P I cannot seem to find this information and since my FTP server is currently down (for another week) I cannot test it, does Aria2 support FTPS too (explicit)? Thanks!

    Web interface or GUI for LFTP (entware)

    Hello there! I am trying to use my trusty Asus RT-AC68U as a FTP downloader (it runs 24/7 anyway). So I've picked and installed LFTP since it seems to be very praised and it works really good. My only problem is that I would prefer some sort of graphical interface to it, to make things a little...

    Prosumer router recommendation

    Don't worry, the old router is still used. I had some Cat5e wiring from one room to the other (I live in a 2 room rented appartment) and I've configured the old WRT54GL as an AP in the other room, so I have a little bit more coverage. It seems to be stable if it's not crushed by a lot of work.
