    Malware damaging ASUS routers?

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

    RT-AX82U Bandwidth limiter affects all devices instead of targeted device

    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.

    RT-AX82U Bandwidth limiter affects all devices instead of targeted device

    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?

    RT-AX82U Bandwidth limiter affects all devices instead of targeted device

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

    RT-AX82U Bandwidth limiter affects all devices instead of targeted device

    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.

    RT-AX82U - 2 clients are connecting through this device

    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.

    RT-AX82U - 2 clients are connecting through this device

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

    RT-AX82U - 2 clients are connecting through this device

    When I view "Network Map", it shows the number 2 next to my desktop's icon and when I hover over it, I see that message.

    RT-AX82U - 2 clients are connecting through this device

    Hi, I'm using a desktop, which connects to my network via wifi. Today, for the first time, my router is reporting that 2 clients are connecting through this device. I'm not using a virtual machine and the OS is Windows Home, which does not have RDP. I do not have any remote access software...

    RT-AX82U: No longer able to access router via SSH

    I have enabled SSH through LAN only and I have selected the allow password login option but when I use Putty to login by inputting the IP address of my router and the port I input in the router settings, it just times out. I used to be able to login using SSH and I have not changed any...

    Networking question

    Thanks for the info. I had assumed that adding a second router would decrease latency but I see your point. If the time comes when I have to move my router and I have too much latency from the desktop, I'll try a mesh setup if I can find a good deal on a router.

    Networking question

    Sorry, I think I did a bad job at explaining myself. To makes things easier, let's use these examples: Scenario 1: - AX82U router is only router in use - Desktop is 100 feet away and connected wirelessly to AX82U Scenario 2: - AX82U is primary router - AX58U is 100 feet away, used as a...

    Networking question

    I might have to move my router to a different location and I was wondering if this network setup would work for my use case. I have an AX82U and I'm thinking of buying an AX58U to create a mesh network. If my AX82U is connected to my modem, can I use the AX58U in a different location as a...
