    RT-AC68U poor 5Ghz performance

    Your exact comment was "I would replace the router with something more modern like RT-AX68U. The new routers deal with interference better, reach further and will push more data even to your existing clients." Does this not hold true for the RT-AX86U ? And speed was never the primary issue. Not...

    RT-AC68U poor 5Ghz performance

    There's a long page of "professional" settings on the router. You're saying that the router and repeater don't need to agree on these? Now you're just rambling. What did the original OP say and what was my post in response? The issue is the 5 Ghz. Please stay on topic. LOL. So what you...

    RT-AC68U poor 5Ghz performance

    Why is this not necessary? If there is a wireless setting disagreement between router and repeater how does that get resolved? Ideally the repeater should use the router's explicit wireless settings, but I suspect this may be an "auto" negotiation for some settings. At any rate I've never seen...

    RT-AC68U poor 5Ghz performance

    Exact same problem here. I have 2 RT-AC68Us running in repeater mode, one downstairs and one upstairs down the hall from the RT-AC68U router. The downstairs repeater is 2.4 Ghz, but although it has to transmit through the ceiling it achieves a very respectable RSSI of -42. OTOH the upstairs 5...

    Skynet Skynet ban IP not banning...

    That's what I thought at first, but my Reolink camera is unplugged (and it doesn't use batteries). A neighbor's camera couldn't have latched onto my network by accident. A camera also shouldn't produce that routing table entry. All my wireless gear is accounted for - each item has a known IP...

    Skynet Skynet ban IP not banning...

    Thanks, but I got into trouble with this perhaps because I don't understand the intent of this setting. So by default it looks like: [5] --> Unban PrivateIP | [Enabled] And when this is selected we get: Select Filter PrivateIP Option: [1] --> Enable [2] --> Disable These 2...

    Skynet Skynet ban IP not banning...

    Just encountered this issue myself which is a real bummer as I was counting on Skynet to help shut down a rogue IP on my private subnet. Not sure I understand why it would make a difference whether the IP is public (external) or private (192.168.x.x). In either case the iptables solution is to...

    Wireless MAC filter shuts down site survey (386.2_2)

    On a RT-AC68U running 386.2_2 enabling the wireless MAC filter (either 2.4 or 5) blocks the site survey. This can create confusion when someone loads a CFG (which had the MAC filter turned on) and selects repeater mode for which the subsequent survey fails to list any SSIDs. Yes, the SSIDs can...
