    Is this a smart and reasonable layout for a home network?

    Right. I was probably thinking that a mesh network would allow me to roam around with say my mobile and it would all be smart enough to connect and work seamlessly but it sounds like there are better options.

    Is this a smart and reasonable layout for a home network?

    What should I be looking for if I also want to have wifi available for mobile devices? Just wireless access points plugged into those ethernet ports?

    Is this a smart and reasonable layout for a home network?

    Yes, sorry! I didn't make that clear in my post. The purple numbers represent the locations I am looking to put in ethernet ports.

    Is this a smart and reasonable layout for a home network?

    I am looking for some advice for where I am thinking of network access points. The internet comes into the home at the top left arrow and I am thinking that all lines will have to lead back to this area? I also have a plan to put three wireless mesh access points around. Is there something...

    What should I look for in Wi-Fi antennas?

    My new motherboard comes with built-in wi-fi which is nice, but that means that I no longer use the old usb cable to wi-fi adapter dongle that could sit a little more out in the open. Having two antennas tucked away around the back of my pc is doing nothing for my signal strength which sits...

    I've disabled WPS. What other options should a noob start with?

    I've read enough to know that disabling WPS is a good start. I have also managed to get Skynet and Diversion working. What else is a recommended baseline for a fast, safe and secure network?

    Damn. Any suggestions on what might have caused this so I can avoid it in the future?

    Diversion Updating Diversion throws error

    Thank you. That was successful but I am still facing errors around Entware related functions. For example; Show installed scripts and Entware packages locks up forcing a Diversion update also locks up after "i Probing for Entware, ✔ Entware is already installed"

    Diversion Updating Diversion throws error

    My RT-AC68U with 384.19 FW and AMTM 3.1.8 has been working fine for a while and I've had no problem going in via PuTTY and updating scripts and whatnot (I only use Diversion and Skynet). Recently when I was checking for a Diversion update it threw this error: /opt/bin/diversion...

    [Release] FreshJR Adaptive QOS (Improvements / Custom Rules / and Inner workings)

    I've just installed this following all the instructions and things look to be working ok. I haven't done much testing yet. I don't completely understand the how, where or why about bandwidth limits. I think that I may be still on the Automatic bandwidth setting as I haven't noticed any option to...

    Are there any risks or downsides to installing a firewall like Skynet or AiProtection?

    I've been using nano adblocker and nano defender. I love how easy it is to just turn off and on when necessary. Some sites absolutely insist that adblockers are off for them to function, other sites I like to support

    Are there any risks or downsides to installing a firewall like Skynet or AiProtection?

    Most of my firewall knowledge is from decades ago when all a firewall ever did for me was slow things down and get in my way. Could have been for my own protection, but still was a pain. Even now I find that simple adblockers will get in the way and need to have lines added to a whitelist even...

    Which version do I require?

    Reading through the instructions here says; Starting with Asus's 3.0.0.4.380_3000, a new firmware format is used. To flash Asuswrt-Merlin on one of these newer firmwares, you will need 380.61 or newer. Likewise, downgrading to an older version is not supported. (Try firmware recovery mode if...
