Double check your IPv6 settings in your router. I believe they should be the following: IPv6 Settings for ASUS routers In the Advanced Setup / IPv6 menu: Internet Connection Type: Native DHCP-PD: Enable Auto Configuration Settings: Stateless Connect to DNS Server automatically: Enable...

When I get the NVR, I'll check if I have this option.

Thanks. I'll look into this.

I don't think I've thought this through enough. I was worried about either the cameras being hacked or the app being insecure but I think the cameras will be fine sine they will be hardwired. So maybe all I need to worry about is the app. Maybe I'll look into Wireguard or tailscale as a way...

My router has vlan tagging for IPTV but that's it. I guess there is no way to force a wired device onto a guest network? If not, what are my options to separate the entire security system from my main network? I'm guessing a second router would work. What about an unmanaged switch that has...

I will be getting a security camera system. Here is the basic setup: NVR will be connected directly to my router via ethernet The app that I will use on my phone will connect to my guest network. This app needs to be able to communicate with my NVR in order for me to view camera footage on...

Has it been confirmed that enabling UPnP & port forwarding can result in being exposed to this malware?

I didn't know I can limit a guest network to only the N standard. This could work. Thanks. edit: I had forgotten that this can be selected in the wireless mode setting.

Doh! That's not right. I guess I'll have to research other routers and somehow figure out if they have the same feature that is more usable. I guess it's all dependent on the CPU or is it a combination of CPU, RAM & firmware?

Ok. Is this info advertised anywhere in the router specifications?

My internet connection is 500/30. I have a guest staying with me for a while and I wanted to ensure that he doesn't consume all my bandwidth so I enabled QOS and used the bandwidth limiter feature to restrict his connection to 100mb/s down & 10mb/s up. The problem is that when this is enabled...

The desktop is connected only via wifi. No ethernet.

I checked after I noticed that message and everything looks fine but I don't think it would pick up on someone remotely accessing my PC and that's what I was concerned about.

Oh I see. Ok, I'll check again after the lease renewal.

I hope that's the case. When I get a chance, I will reset my router and check if that message still appears. Thanks.
