Correct, I already have TS running a subnet and exit node on both Synology NAS and Mac mini, so redundancy also covered, as are all my cameras and devices I need to access from within the LAN. which is why I was wondering, other than adding additional work load to my router CPU, is there any...

This is maybe a dumb question but is there any advantage for me to run TailMon on my Router, if I already have a Mac mini and a synology running Tailscale Subnet? all Im seeing for Me is downsides of higher CPU load on my router, another device to make sure is updated, and potential crashes...

My Asus AC3100 running the latest version of Merlin FW always crashes the web server /GUI after a few 'automatic' log out. (its done this for ~a year now) If I log out before closing the tab or the 5min auto log out, it seems to be ok, but after 3 or so 'auto log outs' over whatever time between...

well I tried setting it up as an AP and changing the channel to the other end of the spectrum (ch 40 / 157) but wifi speeds didnt seem to improve much. and I added a 2nd ethernet from the 3100 direct to the ac88u and Im getting high 500/low 6 on Fast.com - speed.cloudflare is still a bit slower...

I have 3 other AC 1900 connected to my AC3100 in AI mesh node because they're pretty far removed but I just added an AC88U in my living room to boost coverage near by but it seems to be interfering with its AC3100 brother upstairs. In an effort to reduce that, I factory reset and started it in...

yeah, the 2 are basically 'on top of each other' separated by 20 ft. (living room on a bottom shelf of TV stand, office directly above it, on the top shelf of a desk. The living room has always had decent service from the office above it, as the couch is on the other side of the room so it's...

I have an AC3100 as my main router / AP upstairs and have 3x AC1900 all ethernet backhaul over the property for additional coverage. Everything works great, getting around 400mbps wireless most places. I found a dead spot in my one area and got a deal on a AC88U/3100 extreme. I added it to my...

found the issue. theres a new setting that is 'on by default' in Safari - 'hide IP from tracking websites' which apparently breaks a lot of stuff - not sure why it breaks only on LAN vs Wifi but... turning it off immediately resolved the issues.

never had an issue in the past, extended pings work fine, in the sub 1ms. MacOS allows dual paths, it prioritizes the top path, and has worked fine like this for... 5 years? Over on the Mac subreddit, others are complaining of the same issue. seems to be / maybe related to iCloud Private relay...

Trying to track down an issue ive had for a couple days now. Some pages like my Piaware page, and my weather station page will partially or completely stall with Safari. Reddit is another as well, it loads some of the page but never finishes. as the download page for MS Edge (I was trying to...

Ive got FIOS and recently starting having internet disconnection issues. The internet will go down, no pages comes up, I cant ping google, 1.1.1.1, or even the IP of the Verizon DNS servers. I can ping my ONT but nothing else outside my network. During this time my router (Asus AC3100 w/...

Im just trying to rule out other issue, as they ran their tests while I was 'down' and didnt see anything. replacing the end of that cable then resolved the issue for 7 days so Im wondering if the cables gone bad. not sure how to test that other than replacing 75ft of cable running outside...

yeah, that could be a real PITA, as ive been on a fairly static IP for some time, and use a domain to connect to my VPN and rebooting the router every night would likely cause a new IP every day. not that I need one, but I usually had a IP for months on end before this all started. I have to...

Im trying to eliminate an issue Im having where my internet will stop working randomly. It usually occurs during work hours which for WFH is extremely annoying. Im on FIOS with ethernet from the ONT -> AC3100->MacBook via Lan. This setup has worked flawlessly for ~5 years, until xmas when I...

not talking ISP. most mesh routers are multigigbit connections. splitting it by half for backhaul really won't affect 99.5% of people buying mesh because they think it will be better.
