    Attic Server PC to NAS?

    After a little advice if anyone has experience of a similar situation. I currently have an old PC running in my attic that I use for torrents, CCTV when I am away, and mainly a Plex Media server to the TV in the lounge with an Nvidia Shield Pro. The server is running Win 10 on a i5-760 with 6...

    Asus AC88U IPTV

    After 8 hours of researching, installing kodi on my PC, add ons, more research... you summed it all up in 2 posts lol I managed to add some addons to Kodi but apart from Exodus most seem to suck and offer no real user friendly interface. The kodi interface itself looks good and I used to use...

    ASUS AC88U and Technicolor 7200 :(

    Thanks for all your help. True came and swapped the Technicolor 7200 for a Cisco EPC3928 which has a bridge mode and is now letting my AC88U have the external WAN IP address :) I also installed the Merlin firmware and love how it is basically the same as the standard ASUS setup. I will be...

    Asus AC88U IPTV

    This is interesting stuff, thank you all for helping me understand. Given the time difference in Thailand and the UK I rarely watch live TV apart from special PPV events. Please correct me if I am wrong, but from what I understand: - This router feature is only used by your ISP when providing...

    Asus AC88U Client VPN

    Hi guys, thanks for the clear advice. I have gone with AWT Merlin and really happy so far with the custom firmware. I have not tried the VPN settings or selective routing yet, but once I have finished researching the best choice of VPN for my location in Thailand and accessing UK based services...

    Asus AC88U IPTV

    Hi guys, I am new to IPTV and a little unsure exactly how it works and why I would want to set it up on my router rather than client. I live in Thailand so this could be a great way for me to get some English language channels, so wanted to find out more. So from what I can tell IPTV allows...

    Asus AC88U Client VPN

    OK so after a little hunting it seems to be 'Selective routing' that I need and I think the ASUS AC88U can do this without firmware flash. What I am not sure of is that most tutorials seem to show exporting .ovpn files with I assume settings, that my HDTV will not be able to access. Does anyone...

    ASUS AC88U and Technicolor 7200 :(

    Do you know what specific router / modem I should aim to get from True? I have no idea of their range and which I should hope to get?

    Asus AC88U Client VPN

    I purchased a Asus AC88U and so far very impressed with its features. I currently live in Thailand and as such many of the Western IP streaming services such as BBC iPlayer and Netflicks are blocked to me. I understand that I could setup this router to work through a VPN and for example act as...

    ASUS AC88U and Technicolor 7200 :(

    Is DOCSIS 3.0 needed for 15mb connection? My router is DOCSIS 3.0 because I was originally on 50mb connection but I found that was only in Thailand so a bit of a waste of money. The Tecnicolor 7200 is a bad router and I think worse than the Cisco EPC3925, so I might not have much of a choice. I...

    ASUS AC88U and Technicolor 7200 :(

    Hi Wutikorn, thank you for the detailed response. Unfortunately the Custom software on my Tecnicolor does not have the CM mode option available. I have however contacted True Online to try and see if I can have the Tecnicolor swapped for a Cisco EPC3925. They are sending some technicians out...

    Asus router App - Non external IP WAN router + Dydns

    Hi guys, I have an Asus ac88u router that I am trying to configure behind my ISP's router / modem. So far I have managed to set the Asus as a DMZ and I am now able to remote access a home server I use for IP cameras etc via remote desktop and a Blue Iris app from outside my home (WAN). The...
