I am having trouble setting up my N56u as a wireless repeater for my R7000. I am not sure if I can do it with stock firmware or Padavan firmware. I understand I need to set it to a different subnet and disable NAT and WAN?

Hey guys, I have an N66u that I want to flash to merlins. It is on the latest stock firmware 3.0.0.4.376_3754 right now. When I flashed to .50 yesterday and the Internet would work only for about 5-10 minutes and then I would not have connection anymore after that. Before and After flashing, I...

Ok, was looking at the DHCP settings and the router indeed sets DHCP Ip address from only ranges 192.168.0.100-192.168.0.199. I have set that in the IP Range for bandwidth control, and it worked.

Yes, it actually is working. The problem I have right now is that since the rules ask for the specific IP address to throttle, but every time the other users connect, they have dynamic IP address. I have set up a static IP address for myself of 192.168.0.2. When I try putting the IP ranges to...

So I decided to just keep my Archer C7 but unsure if I did the bandwidth control correctly. I accessed Bandwidth Control->Control Settings and enabled bandwidth control. There is a line that says: Line Type: ADSL or Other. I chose other since I have Comcast. Then I went to the Bandwidth Rules...

I have an opportunity to grab a R7000 for only $100 or even a N66U for $ 50 so I might try either out. Roommates telling me they get bad signal from the router. My room is through the garage and when the router was in the kitchen(now in my room), only 30 ft away, I would have the same problem.

I'll just stick to my wndr3700, I dont think I want to go through that much trouble in doing it since it isn't that big of a deal. Thanks for the advice guys

So basically the general consensus is that it isn't impossible, just not effective.

I don't want them to hog all the WAN when they are downloading or streaming. Say for example my Internet speed is 15MBps, but I want to limit them to only be able to hit say 2MBps max. Is this not possible?

Hey guys, I am looking for a good router that has great bandwidth control. I want to limit the amount of bandwidth going to my 2 roommates. Right now I am running a Netgear WNDR3700 v1. I bought a TP-Link Archer C7 v2, I know the Archer has bandwidth control features but not sure if whether I...
