    Video conference hiccups - MoCA problem?

    Hold on... CAT8 might not be my best option here? I was under the impression that even though I don't NEED the bandwidth supported by CAT8, it won't hurt. I have SO many old cables (CAT and USB) of which I don't recall the rated speed that I decided to opt for overkill. Are you saying CAT8...

    Video conference hiccups - MoCA problem?

    Agree. Tomorrow I will receive a 2.5Gbps USB-C ethernet adapter to try instead of my docking station. If that does not solve the issue, next test is to remove my QNAP switch (4x2.5Gbps + 2x10Gbps ) from the equation too and directly plug my MacBook into the MoCA adapter via a CAT8 cable and the...

    Video conference hiccups - MoCA problem?

    Interesting... I actually started with the ScreenBeam adapters you mentioned, because they are significantly cheaper compared to the Motos. But because I experienced these hiccups, I figured let's give the Motorolas a try. Alas, no difference... I will also spend some time working off my...

    Video conference hiccups - MoCA problem?

    I appreciate both your lightning fast replies and suggestions! When it comes to wired connections, I am starting to wonder if the Thunderbolt docking station I am using with my M1 Macbook may be the culprit. I ordered an Anker 2.5 Gbps USB-C to Ethernet adapter from Amazon that I can try...

    Video conference hiccups - MoCA problem?

    I am experiencing occasional hiccups / freezes during conference calls with my home network over MoCA. I live in an apartment building that provides Gigabit Internet. It has a wireless access point in each unit (IBT U6-IW-US) with 4x GbE RJ45 ports. I am getting 925Mbps up and down over wired...

    ASUS iOS app not finding router in bridge mode

    I appreciate your reply, thank you. I have no login access to the IBT access point, but when I power off the AX86U and connect my iPhone to the IBT access point directly, I am getting IP address 192.168.1.123/255.255.254.0. My iPhone also shows a "Router" IP address of 192.168.0.1, which is...

    ASUS iOS app not finding router in bridge mode

    My apartment complex recently contracted with IBT to provide fiber internet to each apartment unit via a managed wireless access point in each apartment. So, I reconfigured my RT-AX86U (running Merlin firmware 388.2_2) as a media bridge for my home office desk, because the AX86U establishes a...

    Create and install a Root CA and self-signed SSL certificate

    If you use official Asus firmware on your router and you want a secure connection to your router from ANY random computer, you have no other option than to install a certificate that was issued by an official/public certificate authority like Let's Encrypt. The downside of free certificates...

    RT-N66U and WOL

    It is probably a known issue that WOL over internet does not always work reliably with the RT-N66U (standard FW 3.0.0.4.374_5517). Haven't updated to the latest FW yet because I did not see any fixes in the release notes that concerned me. My UDP port 9 forward has been set up to a specific...

    WOL on RT-N66U

    I can confirm that when you add a static entry to the arp table, WOL keeps working nicely, also after a reboot. I plugged in a FAT formatted 2GB USB flash drive and installed Download Master, then added my arp entry (arp -s 192.168.xxx.xxx AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF) to the end of the /opt/.asusrouter...

    WOL on RT-N66U

    Try first creating a VPN connection to the router, and then send a WOL command directly to the IP address of the device you want to wake I think this issue is somehow related to ARP tables, and a timeout after which the address of the device you want to wake is released from the table. That...

    Looking for non-WDS 5GHz client bridge (to replace USB adapter)

    Looks like the newly announced TrendNET TEW-680MB may do what I'm looking for. I may give that a try when it becomes available.

    Looking for non-WDS 5GHz client bridge (to replace USB adapter)

    Currently my HTPC is connected to my 5GHz wireless router (Cisco E4200) via a Cisco USB adapter. For some reason this USB setup has been unreliable; it sometimes does not auto-connect after reboot. So I'd like to find a wireless client bridge that I can connect to the HTPC LAN port instead...
